    Procrastination

    Wikipedia has some interesting information about procrastination.   Here's an excerpt from that site:

    Procrastination is the deferment or avoidance of an action or task which requires completion by focusing on some other action or task. For the person procrastinating, this can result in a loss of productivity, stress and a sense of guilt. While it is normal for individuals to procrastinate to some degree, it becomes a problem when it impedes normal functioning…

     I wouldn't say I'm a severe procrastinator, I'm still able to function normally.  But what exactly do they consider normal functionality?  <evil grin>

    The Lake House

    I went with Loren and Cindy to see The Lake House tonight. I'll admit it – I was a bit bummed and even pouting a bit because I'd been wanting to see an independent film instead, but since neither of them had any interest, I gave in. I need to find a friend who likes indie & B movies. Well – I loved it! It was really sweet, even made me cry a bit! What a chick flick! Sandra Bullock was hot <http://www.imdb.com/gallery/ss/0410297/6121.jpg> as usual (I may even grow my hair out for that cut) and it even renewed my sense of faith in love and fate. The story line was great, despite a some timeline flaws (though I really enjoy time shifting movies, like Sliding Doors <http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120148/> ), and I also appreciate the emphasis of timing in relationships and the ability to reconnect with a lost love from the past. (The Jane <http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0451526384/sr=8-3/qid=1153646528/ref=pd_bb s_3/002-6277697-4204023?ie=UTF8> Austen novel Persuasion is referenced a lot in the movie. I'll have to read it now.)

    Lesbians & Fashion

    My friends Liz and Kim are getting married in a couple of weeks, and I still need to find something to wear.  This will be my first lesbian wedding – what exactly *does* one wear?  Loren teased that we can wear whatever we want, since it’ll all be lesbians.  <gasp!>

    Sad but true, most of us simply don’t have it together in the fashion department, and I’m probably no exception.  Sure, I try to stay hip – & I’ve got little excuse; I’m still young and there’s plenty of hip dykes in the bay area that I could learn from.    I could really use a Queer Eye for the Gay Girl or something similar; but alas, the networks don’t appear to be headed in that direction.  I guess I’ll have to get by on my own warped sense of what’ll make me look fabulous.

    Thank gods I remembered to schedule my hair appointment with Brenda this week, its one less thing to worry about!  :-)
