blogging about procrastination.

procrastination ploy 2

If I can't respond to an email the first time I read it (because it requires decision making, info-gathering, saying no, etc.), I forward it to myself. So it pops up at the top of my inbox, and it's still on my radar, and I feel I've taken SOME kind of action on it............without actually doing anything effective about it.

my top procrastination ploy

is to google the word "procrastination." And spend the next hour reading essays, tips, remedies, for procrastination, saying to myself: "See! I'm doing something useful! I'm learning how to stop putting things off!"

Miss Landmine Angola

Can anyone say:
Amputation fetish?

How about:
Pornography of mutilation?

Or, perhaps most apt of all:
Saartjie Baartman.
for the 21st century?

Migritude on TV

Tomorrow night is the season premiere of KQED's arts and culture program, SPARK.

The episode is called Ferlinghetti, Patel, and Guidi. It carries a
segment on Migritude

I've been sending out mailings to people about it, I've got a small group of friends and collaborators together to watch it tomorrow night. But today, a few minutes ago, was when it really sunk in. When I got the reminder from KQED, and clicked on the link, and saw the description and photo.

I thought "Ohmigod. We're actually going to be on TV."
