Dreamworlds 3 via youtube

Dreamworlds 3, the highly anticipated update of Sut Jhally’s groundbreaking Dreamworlds 2 (1995) examines the stories contemporary music videos tell about girls and women, and encourages viewers to consider how these narratives shape individual and cultural attitudes about sexuality.

Illustrated with hundreds of up-to-date images, Dreamworlds 3 offers a unique and powerful tool for understanding both the continuing influence of music videos and how pop culture more generally filters the identities of young men and women through a dangerously narrow set of myths about sexuality and gender. In doing so, it inspires viewers to reflect critically on images that they might otherwise take for granted.

P90X week 6 review

Wow! I can’t believe it’s been 6 weeks already! But I will say, week 6 was my hardest week yet. Last week was the first time that I actually skipped a workout. Argh. I skipped Yoga X, which is my least favorite workout. I also changed my rest day from Sunday to Tuesday, but I don’t think that’s such a big deal. I think this past week was tough because I’m really stressed about my job situation (or lack there of) and it’s made it harder for me to push myself to workout every day. Also, Patrick has been really busy with school so he hasn’t been working out with me and has been bringing fast food home after school. It’s been really tough to stay motivated to workout by myself and also resist the urge to eat Chinese food and pizza as Pat is chowing down on.

So I was definitely bad last week. In addition to skipping Yoga X, I ate Chinese, had a few glasses of wine with dinner and had a red velvet cupcake for dessert after dinner at a friend’s. I felt horrible afterward, but I didn’t let it throw me off the program entirely. So now I’m back on track and this week I’m trying to be especially good about my diet. I can’t believe there are only 6 weeks left of the program! I’ve already decided to do a second round, because I think I’m going to need it. I can feel that a six pack is around the corner, but I don’t think it’s going to happen in the next 6 weeks. We’ll see…

hardest workout: Yoga X, only because I didn’t do it
favorite workout: Kempo X
week 6 milestone: I’ve lost 6.5 inches overall!
week 7 goals: workout all 6 days, stay on track with my diet and track my daily calories. (in the past i’ve had trouble eating ENOUGH calories per day)

My new favorite cooking site. I’ve been cooking at home for about 6 weeks now because of P90X, but this site has really inspired me to become more creative in the kitchen.
