I have been reading a very interesting book on a subject that I knew nothing about before picking up the book. I chose to read it with as open a mind as I am consciously able to open because the subject matter is of a nature that it would be easy to impose my personal philosophies, opinions, and experiences onto, prejudicing my ability to neutrally assessing the author's point of view.

Having eaten and checked the book store and starting to get befuddled by this shy little lady who discusses wedding rings and babies like it's perfectly normal first date chatter it's movie time and I'm starting to settle down and relax and test boundaries.
