Mediated Spritituality

Does listening to a yoga program on t.v. while playing tetris on my laptop count?

"Spritituality" Are sure you aren't hung up on your breasts? If you change the spelling of the topic of your post this post will be meaningless.

"Mediated Spritituality" could be more, "you show me yours, I'll show you mine while we assume the postion dictated by Yoga Master."

An interesting discussion on media images as less about beauty and sex, as about power.

The Male Gaze

The following web essay casts doubt on the belief that there is such a simple, self-evident "thing" as beauty. It looks at beauty as a cultural construct, at how beauty is defined, at how fashion magazines cultivate a very particular notion of what it means to be attractive or beautiful. And it suggests that this particular notion may be less about sex, less about actual human sexual behaviors, than it is about power.

Hey, I think anything that relaxes you counts. ;)

I think you are too obsessed with Tetris to be fit to teach. That game is in every other post you make.

Diana,

Ever since MSN did its thing about the "Nude" teacher in CA, I have stop at times by your site to read what you have to say ... You are very good ... You know just what to say (or not), to get a response ... While I'm not sure why Big Shot think's you're not "fit to teach" just because of some game you play, any more than I know why "those" pictures of you caused all that noise in the media ...

I do, however, know that the most important thing a teacher can do is to get other people to think ... and that young lady makes you a very rare breed indeed ...

Oh, yes, it does. Tetris is the ultimate in female video games. It rules. You should try it on the Nintendo DS. Oh Tetris nirvana. You never knew so many puzzles could boggle the mind.
