I'm so looking forward to this weekend. I'm going to 'relax' and just enjoy myself. I am looking forward to attending a really interesting art exhibit in Santa Monica with friends tonight, going to a volunteer meeting & out with a friend Saturday and Sunday just a lazy day. Maybe brunch and a long walk in the hot sun.
I'm going to have a good weekend!

Black women don't excercise because of our hair???
I saw a link on this newstory from CurlyNikki:
Great Hair Style or Exercise? Solving the delimma. The desire for straight hair keeps many African-American women from exercising and that can be the root of serious health problems. Robin Robinson reports on the change that might be one answer to the dangerous dilemma of women sacrificing their health for great hair.

My response: I was greatly offended by the segment called 'Great Hair Style or Exercise? Solving the Dilemma' aired to discuss black women and hair/exercise. So I wonder what about the fat white/asian/hispanic/etc women AND men in America that are overweight? Is it because of their desire to confirm to the American Beauty Standard of Hair? Or is it just the nappy black ones?
Black hair isn't 'ugly' and to say that some people are fat is because of hair is stupid. Some people don't like to exercise, in the African American community the ideal body isn't that of a prepubescent boy and some people are 'ok' with themselves.
You should be ashamed of yourself for this slam on women in general and black women in particular.

Star Trekkin, BABY!
I saw the film at a screening in LA Arclight on Tuesday night. IT BLEW MY MIND!!! It's a reimagining (made up word) of the Star Trek Mythology and it was great.
The selection of the cast, story line, AWESOME plot twists, introduction, random cameos and the design of the ships. I don't want to give away anything but I am a TRUE Star Trek Fan (seen all the shows, movies, gone to conventions, Met Mrs. Roddenberry).
It has a lot of details for people who aren't fans but the pace is quick and lively. The writing is good and the cast good/solid. I love the 'trueness' they kept with the characters mannerisms but the modern updates kept it fresh for me.
I enjoyed it so much I plan to see it on Saturday too!
