I know I have said this before, and hopefully other people feel the same way, but I am certainly finding this blogging experience a learning one. I realized just now that I do not have a blog roll for my classmates but am incapeable of setting this up do to my technological incompetence. It is on my list of things to do I guess. I know Scott is excited for us to learn how to do things like adding you tube clips and photos, but for me this is not in my foreseeable future. Instead, I have decided to spend my time on the things I am actually capeable of doing.
Even though our project due date is extended, I think it is time for me to settle on my topic for the paper. Since I am into all great "chick flick" movies, I thought I could get the most out of this paper by writting about something I am actually interested in...and therefore have settled on using "How to Lose A Guy in 10 Days" as the focus of my paper. For those of you who have not seen it, Andy Anderson (played by Kate Hudson) is a writer for "Composure", a women's fashion magazine. One of her assignments is to do an experiment/assignement where she must date a guy and then get him to dump her. She has to deal with writting ethics and struggles throughout the film with the fact that she desires to write about things such as politics, religion, and world problems rather than fashion. I know that I need to do more brainstorming to really pull this topic together but I am thinking/hoping that once I collect and organize my thoughts I will come up with something intersting.

I think that this will be an interesting movie to study. I don't think that I would have considered doing a "chick flick" such as this, but now when I think about it, this movie seems like a good idea. You are right that there are a lot of author issues, and it will be fun to watch too!
Very interesting! I wonder how the final product turned out. Seems like you've got lots of good ideas and that the paper would be an interesting one to read!
