Studying and a film to consider.

Thank you so much for the links everyone sent me yesterday. Lovely to know I am in such magically delicious company. I have weeks worth of study material to peruse, and I am locking myself in my room for the day to feed my soul. (Ms Asfuk, I am so pleased to have your email again. I don't know how I forgot it... you nasty little minx.)

I just got a movie that you should check out. It is called Go Further. It is about organic and sustainable living. A quote from the film " ...If you can't pronounce it and mother nature did not produce it , you shouldn't fucking eat it. Get on the bus, say no to corn dogs. They are not food..." Amen. Those little innards wrapped in skin make me cringe.

It follows Woody Harrelson (who I adore) on a road trip where he bikes from Seattle To SF educating people about the importance of responsible, sustainable, organic living, taking care of your body, and leaving a light imprint on the earth.

He says "...There is still hope for the world, but only if we stop being such dickheads." It shows a lot of sad footage of clear cutting. When you live in an area surrounded by lush forests you really appreciate how horrific it is. The land looks like it has a huge scar with nothing but amputated carcasses where magnificent trees once stood. The film discusses paper options that do not require lumber (in a digestible format. Those documentaries are generally too hippy for me.) Woody keeps it entertaining. I just keep picturing Mickey Knox with a personal yoga coach and raw foods cook.
