Because we're nerds like that, part duex


So, I realized after my last "nerdy" post that Scott and I watch a LOT of "nerdy" shows(aka documentaries). 
This is something the wonderful world of instant Netlfix has opened to us. 

So, I thought I'd share with you a few of our recent viewings. 
You may be interested...shhhh, I won't tell anyone! 

First up is this:
This movie was made about 20 years ago.
There are few crazy people who have chosen to live life "off the land" out hundreds of miles from another human. They have families, and frostbite, salmon and caribou as their staple nutrition.

There is a teeny tiny part of me that admires this lifestyle and even craves it. 
But, remember, I said "teeny tiny".   


 Second up is this documentary:



I admit, I groaned and whined for a good 15 minutes when Scott turned this on. 

I hate politics. 

Unfortunately, after the first 15 minutes of protesting, I was hooked. 

I am undoubtedly one of those "stupid" people who knows absolutely nothing about politics and government. I don't claim to be anti-or pro-Obama, neither do I like Sarah Palin, but the circus rings the media throws in the name of politics are astounding. If anything else, this documentary planted in my mind the need to research for myself candidates in political races. I don't blame either party for issues, I blame media. 

So, there you have it: 2 Adam's family endorsed "nerdy" documentaries to fill your quiet evenings. 

On a few random notes, 
I taught classes back to back this morning for the first time in several months. I was terrified of passing out or looking like a weak fool getting through my second class, but did fine! Serious confidence booster right there.

It's been seriously 2 weeks since I've blown my hair dry and let it down for a day. Today I did,
 and my hair seems super long. :)  Yippee!

Yay for doing your hair! That's partly why I cut mine. Cause I'd HAVE to do it. And I do. Yay. I'm totally into outdoor documentaries right now! There's always something about Alaska on tv and I love it. :) Politics would take me longer to get into... but I need to learn more about it too...

I will have to look into those. I could use some knowledge! I am glad you felt good after two hours of cardio teaching! YAY! You may not have blown your hair dry down, but it has always looked kept and awesome in your up-does! You are amazing!

Josh and I got hooked on the History Channel in Utah. They had different documentaries on all of the time and surprisingly enough, I really enjoyed most of them! Does that mean we are getting old? Or that they are making documentaries more entertaining?

You should watch "paperclips." My favorite documentary still to this day. You won't be disappointed.

We love documentaries! Sounds like the Adams, Butikofer's, and Cook's need to have a movie night! :D Great job on teaching your classes. You are amazing!
