My regular readers (all three of you) may notice the new look of my blog which, in Spanish, is mi blog. I just thought the old look was kind of boring. I was thinking of migrating to Live Journal since I noticed that a lot of the blogs I see on there are so nice-looking and have that "currently listening" space before each entry. But Blogger and I have had such good times together (I remember once we both got so shit-faced and fell asleep on a sidewalk) so I decided I'd just change the look of my blog. I'll try to do something about that "currently listening" thing so that you all will know how impeccable my taste is. I will add the Haloscan comments shortly after this.
I recently and intermittently watched Diary of a Mad Black Woman on Oprah's urging--don't we all just love her?--and was disappointed. It wasn't as funny as Oprah had said.
I don't think that the "Mad Black Woman"'s actions were specific to her race at all. I think that the title and the characters' propensity to refer to themselves and each other as black people only serves to alienate non-blacks. The title "Diary of a Mad Woman" would have been more appropriate in my opinion. While itt is true that all races have different experiences, and that there are some things that are special to any one race that others cannot relate to, the themes of this movie were universal.
