Instead of taking a nap, I cut my own hair for only the second time. As I told dionysus1999, I was in dire need. I kept putting it off, for no good reason.

My plans for today include evaluating for Third Wednesday, transcription, carmelizing a diced apple, and maybe even submitting more poems (which I haven't done since I took up that personal project).

As a total non sequitur, I had the pleasure to take in a couple of movies last week that were new to me. I saw The African Queen on TCM, then caught Bananas OnDemand. Later, another Hepburn film, On Golden Pond, was being shown on TCM (they're doing 31 Days of Oscar), but I missed the last 30-40 minutes of it (so I can't really count that as having been watched).

Last night, TBS showed A Beautiful Mind, a flick I hadn't seen since it was in theatres. It definitely deserved the four stars it received.
