guilty pleasures
This blog post is dedicated to my friend Jana (not Janna or Jenna) who closes each of her posts with a short list of "guilty pleasures." Here are mine, as of late:
-Coffee in the afternoon
-Seasonal 50-cent chocolate-covered marshmallow candies from Walgreens. I buy one of these every time I am at Walgreens if the season permits them to be sold, whether they are in the shape of eggs, hearts, pumpkins, or santas.
-Biking to Andersonville, playing Euchre and accidentally getting drunk with new friends on Sunday night
-Hungover Wigglwrming (more guilty than pleasure)
-The Best American Non-Required Reading of 2007
-Pseudo "Cat Lady" behavior
-Girl Scout Cookies
-Feeling messengerish while biking on cold days
-Attending kids' concerts by myself
-Fantasizing about world travel
-Reading writing of friends
-Zines
-Not getting a haircut
-Converse All Stars purchased at Urban Outfitters
-Going out for lunch
-Imagining treacherous wisdom tooth removal complications
-Gin and milk
-Hanging out at work when I'm not working
-Procrastinating laundry

i tip my hat to you, dear. procrastinating laundry is totally one of my guilty pleasures too:)
when you say "procrastinating laundry", do you mean putting the laundry off, or doing the laundry so as to feel like you're accomplishing things, but actually you're putting off the things that *really* need to get done? the second version of laundry procrastination is my guilty pleasure. all my radiators and my laundry drying rack are full of towels and washcloths right now, though i haven't written any of the report that i am supposedly "working from home" to complete today.
An excellent point, Joy! I meant putting off the sorting and carrying to the basement by fucking around doing nothing. But I can certainly see the way laundry can be used as a means of procrastination. I'll do that from time to time with finding a sudden need to say, clean the refrigerator, when there are more important tasks at hand. In general, being productive as a means of procrastination is a totally awesome guilty pleasure.
