i've come to a conclusion. i like guy-romance movies - the nick hornby type of films. the garden states, the elizabethtowns, the liberal arts. guy romance novels are far more realistic and quirky than simplistic girl rom-coms (sorry rachel!). although, my only complaint about guy-romance movies is that usually, and perhaps this isn't even a complaint rather than an observation about gender acceptability. the guy is usually a complete basket-case and over the course of the film and the relationship with a stable, yet quirky girl, he matures and develops. truthfully, i really love that story arch, but what bugs me about it is if the gender roles were reversed and the girl was a basket-case, i wouldn't enjoy it half as much. so my complaint is actually why is it that troubled/lost/confused guys are more acceptable than their girl counter-parts?

i finally finished 'how to be a woman' and i really enjoyed it. now i've moved on to 'world war z'. while i'm not a zombie-person (one who is fascinated by zombie culture), i do enjoy a good book about zombies. it's an interesting premise. it's possible that i enjoy books that make me think, more than i like books that make me feel. i like art and music that makes me feel. i like movies that make me think AND feel.

so what if you catch me, where would we land?
