New Year = procrastination

I've actually been pretty busy. I took a class the first week of January called 'Documenting Justice' and It was hugely mega-good. We basically just watched documentary films and discussed them (I didn't take the course for credit). Julie and I have really been trying to figure out how to become better consumers and members of the global market. We are making a conscious effort not to support major corporations, unfair trade systems (like coffee, chocolate, clothing). It's difficult, as it requires a pretty major shift in thinking and acting (which is, of course, the tough part). So far, we have successfully switched to fair-trade coffee. Clothing will be a bit more of an issue (not so much for me, because Julie can't get me out to purchase clothes anyway).

Regardless, it's been an interesting few weeks.
