What bugged me about the "Baby Sitter's Club" series was how Ann Martin tried to combat the American stereotype of the "smart Asian" by making Claudia Kishi borderline-retarded. A five-year-old wouldn't make the spelling mistakes she did. But it's okay, because she's "artistic".
Kristy was obviously a lesbian. She made way too big a deal about her "love/hate" relationship with one Alan Gray. (Forgot about him, didn't you?)

It's great how I can't remember anything about the effect of imperialist European discourse on the colonized societies, but I can remember every detail from every "Baby Sitter's Club" book I ever read.

Saw Dad in the hospital today and he's doin' good. I wonder when they're letting him go. I'm supposed to start working at Gina's job on Fridays starting this Friday, but I can't if he's coming home tomorrow or Friday because mom's going to Sweden tomorrow. Dagnabbit.

I have so much homework to do I might as well just strangle myself with my hair. The anthro midterm next Wednesday is going to kick my ass.

Bitch, bitch. bitch.
