Has anyone seen the movie Whip It? If not, I am here to say that it is surprisingly very good. Not perfect, but good. I took it home from work on a whim and Aaron and I were both kind of blown away by the sweet, simple, feminist, anti-norm message. Even more so because it's Drew Barrymore's directorial debut. She did a lovely job. It's a good movie for teen girls, I think.
It's all about roller derby. It actually inspired us to find a roller derby "bout" and go to it over the weekend. It was kind of weird and fun in an underground Pittsburgh tough girl kind of way. Reason #986 Why I Love Aaron: it was his first ever live sporting event. That kid is just too adorable for words.
