Been lazy
And distracted and depressed and disappointed in myself. I *will* make a real post very soon. I even know what's going to be in it. But for now I'm just going to crosspost this from my other lj. Sorry.
Over the last 11 weeks (OMG yeah, 11) a lot of you have said you wished there was something you could do for me. Also, the holidays are coming up and people have asked what I want.
What I want won't cost you anything. And I MEAN THIS. *THIS* is what I want. If you were planning on getting me a gift, don't worry about it. Just do this! It really will make me feel better. And yes, I am shamelessly preying on your sympathy.
I want 20 minutes. 20 minutes will make me VERY happy.
Watch this adorable 20 minute movie called "The Story of Stuff"
It's work safe, it's not pornographic, it's not offensive. It's not religious, it's not graphic, it's not selling anything. It's a woman and some line drawings. It's purely educational.
After you've watched it, let me kinow you did, and please share it with other people if you think it was worth 20 minutes of your time. Or if you think it's worth 20 minutes of someone else's time. (What's 20 minutes out of 42,000,000?) It's free, it's downloadable, and it's free to share/copy/burn and distribute.
What I love is that it's a lot of information that most people get in snippets and don't always connect, all put together and condensed into 20 minutes of straight forward easy to understand dialogue. It may not be the most riveting movie you've ever seen, but it's wonderful for what it is. It's also very cute, with some LOL comments. (Well, I laughed, anyway.) Besides, this is my 20 minutes, right? And even with all my reading and research, I got a few surprises.
Before people start asking - there's an annotated and footnoted script on the web page that lists all sources of information.
I love Annie Leonard. She's my new hero. I want to be her. Will this change anything? It will change some things. Not enough, but I have to have hope, ya know?
(Oh, and I made a crap icon for it... take it if you want, but I'm going to try to do a better one when I have some time. Which probably won't be tomorrow. There are banners and such to take and use, but I have nowhere to host the image.)
