Yeah. I've been reading troll stuff lately now. I think that done right, trolls are kind of underrated in the fantasy world.

Tiny: A Story About Living Small.
This is a documentary about a guy with no construction experience, building a tiny house. His plot of land is in Hartsel, CO, and he actually builds the house in Boulder, CO. For a documentary full of what are mostly hippies, there isn't a real strong liberal message. They did a good job finding people that weren't crazy, and whose primary motives for living in tiny homes isn't environmental. It's only an hour long and I think worth the watch. It's nice to help re-evaluate priorities, without running out and forsaking all your belongings.

That's my pseudo if theres a divorce exit plan.

Yep, haha.

Also, I think it helps put things in perspective to measure a couple of your rooms before watching the documentary. They show a bunch of people smiling outside of their tiny houses, with the location and the square footage listed. If my memory is correct, the range is from 56 sq/ft to 255 sq/ft. Our smallest bedroom is larger than the smallest house. The room we watched the movie in is bigger than all but the biggest (by 5 sq/ft), and my single car garage is well over the size of everything in the film.

Watched "Life of Brian" this weekend....I had forgotten how funny Monty Python was.

Now I'm watching Pandora's Promise on Netflix. It is a documentary about nuclear energy. It is nearly all environmentalist, activists, and other people who were anti-nuclear, and have changed their mind. Still against fossil fuels. Interesting so far. I'd give it a watch.

Edit: Finished and I enjoyed the documentary. They try to draw a direct connection between people who are staunchly against nuclear power and those who they consider climate change deniers. It's too long to type from my Nook, but it is great seeing a major figure in the anti-nuclear movement squirm under simple, polite, questions about her position. Give it a watch and form your own opinions.

It's got a sorta romancy thing going on, but I actually didnt mind "How I live now" for showing a kinda modern day what if there was a nuke + war and how dirty ugly things can get.
