Yes, I know this is 'cheating.' It was late last night when I realized I hadn't taken any photos for December Views for the 3rd. BUT, I should be getting my camera back (instead of having to rely on someone else's tiny camera)...so, yay! H and I watched "Baby Mama" last night and I woke this morning to find that Newsweek had tweeted (on Twitter) a link to this story on how people feel about and use their unused frozen embryos. Timely, eh?
Unlike most of the rest of America, I'm not really a Tina Fey fan--never have been. I don't find her funny. (And at this point, I realize that's practically sacrilege.) Do I think she nailed the Palin impersonation? Absolutely! But I do like Amy Poehler. I put this film into our Netflix queue thinking it would be some kind of goofy farce that we could snort over a few times. So imagine my surprise when I realized afterwards that I'd just watched a film (written by a man!) about two strong female characters who were the story--rather than acting as supporting players to male characters. "Baby Mama" is sort of like a fertility "Thelma and Louise." ;)
I recently came across (via Twitter, of course!) this digital series that Amy Poehler and her partners are producing for young girls called, "Smart Girls at the Party" about girls "who are changing the world by being themselves." Imagine my surprise to see that their corporate sponsor is...Barbie. There's hope for us yet, ladies. ;)
