My name is Miss Pow, and I'm a Procrastinator

It is rather cloudy and rainy Sunday evening, and I have a shit load of work that I need to start and finish. I guess I'm a tad burnt out and getting back into the mood to work has been a little less than successful. Well considering it's the bloody weekend, I can't really blame myself, but considering we have a project going live in two weeks, a voice in my head is screaming to get my ass in gear (not to say I haven't been working a gazillion hours on other projects).

And so in attempting to work, I instead found myself fighting the crowds of women at Lifefest to get samples of the latest and greatest products (and I'm still telling myself I got my money's worth), went out for sushi twice in one day, spent yesterday afternoon walking around downtown and soaking in the gorgeous weather. Today I was more productive in other ways-- laundry, cooking, had a kick ass nap, and focused much attention and time to beautifying my face for no one (okay okay, I do it for my own satisfaction!). But the ultimate procrastination has been watching the movie Ever After, twice. Well it was on TV! Twice! Can you blame me?

Arguably one of my most favourite movies of all time I could watch it over and over again and never get tired of it. It's going to sound so sappy and pathetic, but I can't help loving the damn movie because it probably hits most women deep down inside-- the desire and fantasy for that fairy tale romance, where you meet someone that is so unbelievably amazing and wonderful, that it dawns on you that you've found your match. I'm not sure about men, but as little girls we grow up reading these stories about finding our one true love, and as we get older the stories change a little but the theme is always the same. Only 20 or so years later, reality tells most of us a very different story! Ha ha ha! Thankfully I don't have a complex where I live in this bubble where it's my life destiny to find this fairy tale romance (or it could be worse-- I might think that I am Cinderella) and instead take a more realistic approach to both life and love (no comments from the peanut gallery :P ). The producers were absolutely brilliant in coming up with the idea for that movie. At the end of the day, whether you have found your soul mate or you're still looking, the movie either leaves a person thinking they can relate because they've found what the characters did, or dream that they too will be able to find it one day. I guess there's no better way to retain a loyal audience than to hit them with their deepest desires and fantasies.
