I'm not making excuses (I actually am making excuses), but I haven't posted the last couple days because I got home from my 3 months of day-job science business in Brazil on Saturday (no more Brazilian breakfast buffets and living in a hotel, no!!!), and I had to pack up and move out of my house beginning immediately (movin' closer into the city!).


It's been a little insane the last couple days, and on top of all that, SSL got a kick-ass article at Alternet Saturday morning, and then it got picked up by Salon on Monday. Jill Hamilton wrote the article - you might know her from a blog called In Bed With Married Women. It's funny as shit. I would check it out if I were you. I can't thank her enough for seeing this crazy as doc, and wanting to write about on some established, motha fuckin' sites. I mean Salon and Alternet are kinda bigtime for this mom n' pops deal we got goin on here. It upped our Vimeo and IndieFlix views, well, a lot, and we got tons of emails about small screenings, and other fun shit. Point is, all that stuff made having to move in weather far colder than I am now accustomed, after almost no sleep during a 20 our travel period much, much more exciting that it would have been. But, seriously, my seat would not go back even slightly on the 8 hour flight from Sau Paulo to Miami, and that sucked. I never have trouble sleeping on planes...or in classes...or in cars...or standing up, but I couldn't sleep at all, and there were only like 6 movies available - I had only not seen Taken 3.

That was my Brazilian bathroom, complete with Portuguese flashcards on the mirror.  

There was some good comment threads on the Alternet one. I always have to get my hands in there. I can't have random nay-saying comments hanging out there that can easily be answered and talked about civilly. So, that took up some time too, but it was fun. I'll do a post on those comments soon. Someone told me they wished I'd just shut up - she was a bit fighty, that one. Now, that would normally make my stomach turn into knots, but it doesn't anymore. I think I've grown, my friends. I just try to be nice and honest, and usually people are back, but when they're not, no biggie. I leaned that I've gained that ability this weekend, so that's another good thing to have come of all this.

Back to work...Go check out the Alternet and the Salon posts. It'll be fun.

SSL Vimeo sale, Dayton Premiere!, and Blogger is an Asshole

Hello! I thought I'd give you all a couple updates.

1 Science, Sex and the Ladies, as you may already know, is available on Vimeo on Demand (which you can get also access through Apple TV, Amazon Fire, and Roku). Well, by golly, now you can apply the promo code: OrgasmScience until January 26th to get streaming for $1.99 and download for $7.99. If you'd been interested in checking it out, now's the time. Oh - and if you do check it out, we'd love for you to leave a comment

2 A lovely woman from Dayton, Ohio contacted me recently, and she's going to be hosting a small screening or 2...or 3 with friends and maybe fellow church members. You know I love a small screening, and although it's not too far from me, I believe the first of her small screenings will be the Dayton Premiere of SSL! That's worthy of a shout-out, so here it is. Have fun you Dayton ladies!

If you are interested in hosting a small screening (you only need a couple friends and a TV) just contact me at trisha at ancmovies dottt com. SSL wants to come to your town! (Sorry, I have a ridiculous pull towards using the word "cum" instead of come in bad puns)

3 I was writing THIS reply, the first of my posts in the debate I'm doing with Edward Clint at Skeptic Ink, and I accidentally hit control+Z. In normal stuff that usually just takes you back one step. In blogger, it erases your whole fucking post and saves it immediately upon that keystroke. Let me just point out real quick that my reply is not short. It's long as hell, and I thought real hard about killing myself by walking in front of a bus holding my computer. I thought since my computer contains Blogger, it might hurt Blogger too and make Blogger regret what it did to me. I know Blogger is cold and dead inside, though, and I decided against it. After, my screams and hate subsided, I realized I hadn't lost that much - just a lot of formatting and some small rewrites of a few parts. I had most of it saved somewhere else. I'm not so stupid I guess. Blogger has fucked me enough that I don't fully trust it, and take measures to delay or defeat it's dick moves. I just wanted to share that in hopes of shaming or hurting blogger's feelings.
