Do any of you lovely folks track your basal body temps?
Any thermometer recommendations? I know that they're used a lot for natural family planning, but I'm just trying to watch my metabolism and it feels like there's a lot of baby juju that I don't want. What do men use? Maybe I should try that.

I kept seeing images of this boxed set pop up, and I felt like it was a sign. So I finally found one for sale and it arrived yesterday.



The Bhagavad Gita is a small section of the Mahabharata and probably the bit that most Westerners are familiar with. I myself bought a copy when someone approached me on the street and said I looked like I'd recently had a mystical experience. I read it but without a lot of comprehension, as I was still in school and hadn't given a lot of attention to India, Hindu thought, or anything outside of medieval Europe, which was what I was studying. A guy I was dating at the time mocked me for reading it and said I would end up shaving my head and playing drums in the airport, which ... being armpits-deep in writing my thesis that sounded like a GREAT change of pace. Don't threaten me with a good time, hoss.


By my calculations, if I read ten pages a day, every single day, I ought to be done in January of 2027.

Anyway, I've started the first volume and while I feel a little lost, I know that this is part of the "framing" of the epic, so a lot of what I'm going through is just setup. Some king is lamenting everything that's happened, so the fact that I have no idea who these people are doesn't matter right now. I do kind of wish there was a good English language reader's guide for this, but I'll muddle along without one.
