Given the cold weather, I have been spending a great deal of time indoors. My anxiousness (self diagnosed ADD is what I call it) has lead me to take up a new "hobby" of taking apart and messing around with computers. I have taught my self how to to set up a home network of computers, share files and printers between them an how to reformat reinstall an OS on a PC. Admittedly these are very simple tasks that a 5th grader could probably do these days, but I have this inherent fear of the "complexity" of doing such things. Now that I am learning, I am contemplating building my own PC to replace the old crappy one I own. I wonder what skills my ADD will draw me to next?
In other news, I recently watched the movie "Kinsey" with Emily. It is about Alfred Kinsey, who did some of the first ever studies on human sexuality. It was his ground breaking studies on such taboo topics that finally showed that homosexuality was not a mental illness, masturbation would not make you go blind and females do indeed experience orgasms (despite what many confused men out there may think)!
His approach to human sexuality however was entirely scientific (in the movie at least) and focused only on the desires and habits expressed by humans and not the emotional and rational aspects (like love, trust and fidelity). This was very shocking and disturbing to watch because everyone talked very candidly about sex and many of the married couples helping with Kinsey's research slept around with each other under the premise that it was simply their natural biological urges. I may just have to read his reports on human sexuality. What a surprise, I watch a movie that encourages me to read more books on more topics... good thing for that overactive mind of mine!
