Mr and Mrs. Vibrator

I had a thousand and one things to do today and i only got two major things done even though i didn't play at all. I'm sitting here trying to figure out what to do next as i'm just a couple of hours away from bed time and i already bone tired.
  1. Cook, 
  2. watch a naija movie
  3. write 2 H &P's
  4. Pick a topic and prepare for my presentation on Monday
  5. look up my patient and see what happened with her today, read up on her stuff
  6. pick up new patients and read up on them
  7. just take a shower and go to bed
  8. blog
So i'm blogging. I've got so much going on right now, it's scary. I used to be able to write about what's really going on with me and what's on my mind, but that hasn't happened for years. This blog is no longer that kind of space. I am very mindful of what goes on here. I was in a friend's neck of the woods for a short min and he was surprised i didn't write it on my blog. He actually said he thought he would know everything that was going on with me by reading my blog. I thought that was hilarious.

I watched the much praised Mr. and Mrs. naija movie yesterday. I didn't like it. I thought it was unrealistic. Some of the things Nse said towards the end were silly. I'm not sure what message they were trying to pass across to women. Stay and clean up the mess, men are babies, fight for what you want..........I guess it all depends on the context. I don't think people should give up on their marriages easily, but i think the movie was silly and not what i was expecting. JMO.

I didn't know nigerian men were against vibrators? At least that's what the movie led me to believe. Is that the general consensus?

It's official, all the fight has left me. I have no desire to engage in any kind of altercation with anyone. I will call you out on your bullshit, but to engage, i just don't have power. It's actually a physical thing, like i literally don't have the strength or interest to engage. Med school is really taking a toll on me. I'm just trying to get through this.

Thanksgiving is next week, i will be at work. I don't really care though.

I am thankful for my family. I miss them so much and just want to be home to snuggle my 5 month old niece with her chubby cheeks. I saw her today on skype. She's so beautiful with her small eyes.

I think i'm going to pick a topic for my presentation, take a shower and call it a night. I am experiencing unexplained extreme fatigue.

  1. I saw Mr and Mrs too, not just that I didn't like it, it made me so mad that someone wrote such a story. Na wa. On vibrators, do you think it's just Nigerian men or men generally?

    Take care of you.

  2. I watched it too, and I too didn't like it. It was really unreal it became surreal. And like myne, I was angry @ the writer. Nse played her part well though. And although I enjoyed some of the bits like how men can be really petty which rings truth. Altogether though it was kinda flawed. On vibrators when don't like love rivals, whether it's a vibrator, their kids or your job.

  3. I was very angry after watching the movie that i went to bed without dinner. I actually felt the anger boiling in me. That movie doesn't hold water to me and its unrealistic to have several ladies i know now comparing their relationship and marital issues to what Nse said in the movie.

    Men are babies ko, clean up the mess ni...mchew. I also do not believe you should just up and abandon your relationship or marriage but c'mon, I didn't buy the akara she was frying with those words she said in the movie.

    1. LOL @ akara she was frying with those words. I agree with you. I kept waiting for the movie to get good, but it never did.

  4. Well on vibrators, just like real8 said, Its the rivalry thing that men dont like. I just think Nigerian men are not yet open to such adventures

  5. Hmm... I find that people are pretty cut and dry about Mr and Mrs; either they love or it or the don't. I loved Mr and Mrs, message or no message. I wouldn't advise the same for every couple but I also realize that each couple is dealing with very individualized problems.

    I think the reason Nse's character stayed is because she knows the husband she married and realizes that this is not the real him. Think of it as taming the shrewd: "I know there's a better you in there but it is masked behind all THIS. THIS brought about by your new social status and your mother's pressure. So I'm going to bring back the you I know and love by doing this"

    Realize that in the end she got the husband 'she wanted'
