Embrace the faff!

Faffing is completely harmless, whereas its opposite - dynamic, purposeful activity - is often very harmful. Faffers do not tend to kill people or make them work 12-hour days or sell them shoddy merchandise or lend them vast sums of money that they cannot pay back.

So, Faff Off! The life you save may be someone else's, after which you can pat yourself on the back and go have a lie-down. You deserve it. It's Friday morning, after all. Followed by Saturday, which is an official Faff-Off day. Although I tend to think Sunday is the worst--make that the BEST--day for faffing because nothing puts the skids on productive activity more than the promise of a Busy Week Ahead.

Not sure if it's on-target or not. I'm an introvert, but I like being out among people--think walking through the convention center and people-watching, sitting in Peet's and listening to conversations at other tables. There's people-watching and being with people--two different things.

HFPS - The Humanitarian

Humanity, Foreground, Big Picture, and Shape

You perceive the world with particular attention to humanity. You focus on what's in front of you (the foreground) and how that fits into the larger picture. You are also particularly drawn towards the shapes around you. Because of the value you place on humanity, you tend to seek out other people and get energized by being around others. You like to deal directly with whatever comes your way without dealing with speculating possibilities or outcomes you can't control. You are in tune with all that is around you and understand your life as part of a larger whole. You prefer a structured environment within which to live and you like things to be predictable.

"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," the sixth installment in the blockbuster film franchise about boy wizard Harry, is moving from its planned Nov. 21 release to July 17, 2009, distributor Warner Bros. said Thursday.

The move was made to take advantage of an open weekend in Hollywood's busy summer season, said Alan Horn, Warner Bros. president and chief operating officer. The film had been on schedule, and the change was not due to any production snags, he said.

dinner

Salads with pears were a big thing in Denver--I don't recall seeing them on menus in other cities. The Hyatt featured an arugula, pear, and reggiano salad with lemon-thyme dressing, and I saw other pear salads on aother menus.

Well, I love pears. Had some ripe Bartletts on hand, so I sliced one up and added it to some mixed greens. Then came a tomato and some slices of orange sweet pepper. Thought about opening a bottle of raspberry vinigrette, but I already had three open bottles of salad dressing and didn't want to add a fourth. One of the open bottles was a light ginger-soy, which was the one I picked. A little sweet, but with a definite bite. Nice contrast to the sweetness of the pears.

Instead of bread, I had a slice of leftover roasted veggie pizza. Glass of chardonnay. It all worked.

Last LJ spam of the night

Worked in the back yard this evening. Had to chase King away from some stuff, and he stumbled over a stretch of garden fence and fell on his right side. He immediately limped over to me and sat close so I could comfort him. Held up his injured paw. His *ahem* left paw.

Two minutes later, I threw a ball and King took off after it. No sign of a limp.

What an actor.
