Documentary nominees.

I have decided the only movies I am going to indulge in from now on (not including Crank 2 and Surrogates because WHAT BABES) are documentaries. Because I am methodical when it comes to anything other than scholastics, I am working my way backward, by decade, through the nominees for Best Documentary at the Academy Awards. I am currently immersed in the 2000s.

So that'll be fun. Until I'm done the list except for March of the Penguins and An Inconvenient Truth and still refuse to watch them and then go all mental because the list is incomplete. Maybe I can say I'm leaving them until I'm done the 90s. Also sick is that most of these flicks are available for free at the library.

I LOVE THE LIBRARY

Things that are both mundane and epic:

1. The Ocean
2. Childbirth
3. Scrabble
