Brave New World

So, I heard the weirdest radio commercial this morning.

A bunch of women were talking about making a little extra money, and how their moms used to do Tupperware parties, but "that's So 1980's."

(Naazju: More like 1960s.)

But the commercial goes on to say there's something new to have parties for . . .

Tasers!

Let's have a taser party!

Get all the women you know to protect themselves!

And I'm like, Holy-wha . . . ?

Tasers = Tupperware.

o.O

I mean, hey, protecting yourself is excellent. If you want to do it with a taser, fine. But a taser-PARTY? I mean, really??

I can just see a group of cute young ladies in polka-dot dresses, sitting in a kitchen with a teal or avocado-green fridge, ooh-ing and ah-ing over some lovely little . . . tasers.

Behold, the Brave New World.

What the heck.

Action, This Day.

So, I really like this quote from Stake Conference. It's apparently something Winston Churchill would write at the bottom of his letters to the government, when wrote describing the problems his men were facing in the war, without the resources necessary to do their jobs.

I've decided I'm going to make this my new motto to myself. I kind of have a problem with self discipline/motivation, which makes getting my homework done and getting to bed on time and a variety of other good habits not so easy to maintain. I can plan out my ideal schedule quite happily, but implementing it doesn't always happen.

So, now if I want to get something done, I'm going to think to myself, "Action, this day!" Or this hour, or this second. So maybe I'll get up when I mean to in the morning. I'm already doing quite well at getting out and exercising regularly, which is fun. :D I like walking up to Rock Canyon Park of a Saturday. :) Especially now that the weather's getting nice enough to sit on the grass. (Less those few recent days of snow.)

Now all I've gotta do is make up a cute little plaque with my new motto on it. I'll get around to that one of these days . . . . ;D
