Well, that was a lazy weekend if ever there were one. I did very little of anything - I didn't even watch DVDs, because the DVD player appears to be broken. Again. Mostly I just read, and cleaned up my favourites list on my laptop, and read some more, and attempted to finish cleaning off my desk.

Because, yes, it's now February, so I was trying to be a good girl and actually stick to my January resolution, which was to clean the linen closet, under the desk, and the top of the desk. I got the linen closet and under the desk done, and technically the top of the desk is clean too, what with being pretty much empty and everything that was on the desk spread out on the floor. Hey, I didn't say anything about the floor having to stay clean! Sigh.

Oh, and we went to see The Corporation. It was excellent - powerful and entertaining and thought-provoking all at once. I would definitely recommend that everyone go see it (I believe it's opening in the States in June and the UK in October).

[livejournal.com profile] vestra and I had some interesting discussions on the subway on the way home, about how the movie made us want to run out and become activists, but also made us want to hide under the covers and never leave the house, because the world is a very depressing place. Or possibly that last was just my reaction. I thought a lot last night about consumerism, and how to become a more conscious consumer - I think it starts with just asking yourself questions before you buy anything. Do I really need this? Why do I want this? One of the people interviewed in the movie was talking about the ecological footprint that his company is leaving, and I want my footprint to be small.

I thought the Corporation was amazing, but really draining. I had a similar reaction. It made me think about all the things I do, but I also wanted to run back to the developing world.
