When my husband and I were in grad school, there wasn’t much time to watch tv or movies. Now that we lack homework, we have been talking about watching a movie, but never seem to get around to doing it. Most nights we’re too busy surfing the internet and working on computer-related projects to partake of more traditional entertainment.

And somehow, I seem to have a mental block about watching tv/movies. I feel like I can feel my brain rotting and my muscles atrophying as I sit there on the couch. Ironically, I don’t have similar feelings when sitting in front of my laptop.

Anyway, last Saturday we took the plunge and went to the library to get a dvd. The thought of spending 2 hours watching something entirely fictional still seemed frivolous, so I decided to play it safe and get something educational. “John and Abigail Adams” seemed safe, especially since I had seen part of it in my American Public Address class.

As it turns out, I had already seen all of it, so I didn’t enjoy it as much as I had expected. Maybe I should have gotten something from the non-documentary section.
