HW 17: Favorite Blog Post

As I was browsing through Jezebels posts, I found one that struck my interest titled “Panic-Stricken Kim Basinger’s Maybe Not-So-Healthy Heart” (http://jezebel.com/gossip/broadsides/panic+stricken-kim-basingers-maybe-not+so+healthy-heart-306680.php) . The blog was set up in bullet form, with each bullet telling a different fact or interesting piece of information, which I thought was more attention grabbing than just a paragraph about one topic. Most of the bullets were facts about women, which ranged from anxiety and panic attacks to how romantic partners’ copy each other’s health habits. Some of the bullets were quite outrageous and something that would seem almost impossible; Babble was quoted in telling us about Mother Nature. Babble warns us, “A woman gave birth to two babies on the same day, but they aren't twins. Seems that she got pregnant twice over the course of two weeks. Mother Nature, you fucking creep us out.” (always a good thing to know if you are a woman). Jezebel is an excellent website to look at if you are interested in knowing what’s going on in the world, or just random fun facts.

You really capture the tone as well as the content with your well-chosen quotes. Well done.
