Permission to be lazy
May. 31st, 2004 01:36 pmThe day dawns overcast and rainy, which is God's way of saying that while he appreciates my wanting to spend today doing a thorough house cleaning and hauling things in and out of storage accordingly, today is not the day to do it. (Note: my storage unit is in another building, hence why the rain would be a factor).
Still, I was good. Tidied up what I could and threw out what I could, since the garbage and recycling bins are close enough that rain doesn't matter - plus if I'm throwing things away it's not like I care if they get wet. There's still more cleaning to do but it's best left for later, like mopping the floor after I deal with making tomato sauce.
Spent the past couple of days being very productive, though that meant pretending I didn't have a computer for a little while, hence the radio silence. Now, other than the cleaning and the later-on making of dinner, I'm more or less free, so shall write, attempt to catch up on email, and possibly partake of the West Wing marathon on Bravo.
Finally saw Gangs of New York this weekend and was shocked that I could actually like Cameron Diaz in a role other than the one she played in The Mask years ago. Possibly this was helped in some part by the fact that she played a character who is supposed to look a bit starving and ematiated. On a related note, watched Return of the King with my folks yesterday (repeat for me, first time for them) and couldn't help but notice that Gollum actually has more meat on his bones than Amy Acker and, well, most of Hollywood's female population. Occaisionally I wonder why there aren't riots in the streets demanding that society stop putting these unrealistic and unhealthy demands on women. Still don't know the answer to that.
