stalling ---- Saturday 20 November

I'm supposed to be writing my paper for developmental psych right now: 5-6 pages on what makes a successful marriage, comparing research published in peer-reviewed psychology journals with tips in popular magazines like Cosmopolitan. All in 5-6 pages. I couldn't even begin to define "successful marriage" in 5-6 pages. I think the very scope of the topic is delaying the start of writing. I've done my research. Just... have... to start... writing....

I'm developing a fondness for bad horror films. Last night a friend and I watched Christine, an entertainingly ineffectual horror flick about a haunted car-- based on a Stephen King novel. It was almost as good (in a bad way) as Prom Night 2, which we watched over Halloween. I can't handle watching horror movies that are actually frightening, but movies whose very attempts to scare end up being merely amusing are rapidly gaining my affection.

I'm still stalling. And now I'm making myself stop.
