Day 7

Taking a well deserved study break yesterday evening, I went to see Iron Man. While an rather good film, it subverts the norm of film facial hair. The good guy has a goatee. The Goatee traditionally denote the self involved, rich jerk whom most likely spends an inordinate amount of time on "his cellphone". While Tony Stark/Iron Man is all these things, he is also the hero. That's not right. Goatees are supposed to be for European Terrorists and heads of major corporations that attempt to take over the world. It is confusing, especially for those of us that take Hollywood film as accruate representations of the real world.

What's next? Life of prostitution not as fun as Julia Roberts makes it seem?
