Oh I just looked at my instant queue: Cosmos: The Complete Collection and This American Life are some others.

I watch a lot of the stuff that shows up on DocZone and The Passionate Eye, on CBC

The “Great Food Revolution” Series, from a year or two ago was really interesting. Especially the “Food of the Future” episode about “Molecular Cuisine.”

Some of the docs they’ve shown that I’ve watched in the last year or so:
The “F” Word:Who wants to be a…[Read more]

I’ve seen that Tribe 8 documentary. It’s, um, interesting.

I’m planning to go. I hadn’t heard about Westboro being there, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised.

Did I miss it already?? I’d LOVE to go!

I did that a year ago (moved here from Baltimore) — found a place on craigslist, called the one person I knew here to make sure they weren’t serial killers, and shipped myself across the country. One year later and I have managed to feed myself, keep a roof over my head, and even make friends… I’m calling it a success. I swing dance, which was…[Read more]

Hah I’ve just done that! I got here yesterday and I graduated a week ago! It sucks so far, but that’s just cause it’s so stressful. It is super gorgeous. Especially Ballard.

I’m currently staying with a friend of my roommate’s mom. Anyone need two roommates??!!

Not technically IN Seattle, unfortunately. I work in Auburn, live in Kent. I hate the suburbs.

I live in Greenlake right now, maybe more North College actually, and I work in Belltown with all the hobos, service workers, and sportscarpartypeople. I want to move a little further south than Greenlake, Greenlake has a lot of cute dogs but it’s kind of boring.

We live in Greenwood, which is actually almost as Queer as Capitol Hill. It’s just not as hipster-ish.

“Let me say something about Harry Potter. Warlocks are enemies of god! And I don’t care what kind of hero they are, they are enemies of God! And had it been in the old testament, Harry Potter would have been put to death! You don’t make heroes out of warlocks!”

I loved “Jesus Camp” except that I was also simultaneously terrified. I feel like if my mom had taken just a few different turns that my life could have somehow ended up like that… *shudder*

scared the SHIT out of me, wow. even just the small slice of homeschooling they showed was absolutely terrifying (full disclaimer: i’m a teacher)

If you liked Jesus Camp you should also check out 12th & Delaware, a documentary about the abortion debate by the same people. It is about a street corner in Florida with a women’s health clinic that performs abortions on one side, and an anti-choice “crisis pregnancy center” on the other, and interviews people at both as well as their customers.
