Just wanted to stop in for a second to say that after yesterday’s post, I worked up the courage to go home and talk to The Man about my choice to get off of the pill and start working with a fertility computer. Since I’d spent some time looking over stats, studies, and reviews, I…

Documentary Days: “Get a Life” & “Le Cirque: A Table in Heaven”
I’ve really been slacking off in the documentary department, but I’ve watched a couple more since last checking in. So far, I’ve watched 11 this month, which leaves me waaaay behind (I wanted to do five per week, or 25 total). Instead, I found this new series on Netflix called Lost Girl, and have been…
Documentary Days: The Dhamma Brothers
This weekend I watched two more documentaries, making that 10 documentaries in 13 days – right on target for my goal of five documentaries per week. Yesterday I saw The Dhamma Brothers, a documentary that studies the effects of Vipassana meditation on a group of prisoners. This particular form of yoga is extremely strenuous, lasting for…
Documentary Days: Nightmares in Red, White and Blue
The Man very graciously chose this one, partially because we both love horror flicks, and partially because I was not going to be dragged away from my computer otherwise. I had so much work to do last night, and I was halfheartedly planning to work through the night, getting home at 8:30pm and thinking I’d…
Documentary Days: After Porn Ends
I know I’m going to get some weird traffic with the word “porn” in my blog title, but that’s the name of the movie, so that’s what I’m writing. This one was an odd choice, but a good one. It’s something that I added to the list for nights when I’d need to get The…
Documentary Days – Mansome
Just finished watching the sixth documentary of the month, a feature-length piece on men and appearances, aptly named Mansome. The Man wandered in half way through, sat down to watch, and declared that the 1 hour and 22 minute film was about 1 hour and 20 minutes too long. I didn’t totally agree, but could…
Documentary Days – (A)Sexual
I just finished watching my fifth (and final) documentary for the week, a strange little gem called (A)Sexual. It’s really got me thinking, though mostly because the idea of being asexual is a tangle of conflicting definitions and flexible emotional boundaries, as evidenced in the movie. Let’s just put this on the table: I have very…
Documentary Days – Update #1
Hey there! I’m back from vacation, and promise (haha) I’ll post photos sometime soon. It was a really nice time, just hanging out and taking it easy in Austin, TX, which is by far one of my favorite cities. Maybe if you’re lucky I’ll tell you all about the AH-MAZING seaweed wrap and full body…
