I found my new favorite television show; so let me slide all this work and homework to the side for a moment so I can share it with you.
Morgan Spurlock's 30 Days on FX
For those not familiar with him, Morgan Spurlock is the guy who brought us Super-Size Me. 30 Days is his new 6-episode (season finale was last night) show on FX and it is incredibly well done. For 30 days, he documents a person living someone else's life. It is fascinating, funny, educational and eye opening.
We need some interaction on this blog, so I propose to you, given the 6 episodes, which one of these would you be most interested in trying and which one would be the most difficult for you:
1. Spend 30 days living on minimum wage. You will start with nothing but the one suitcase you pack.
2. Spend 30 days on anti-aging drugs, taking growth hormones, testosterone shots and a large cocktail of supplements. You will also be participating in a strict, grueling exercise routine.
3.Spend 30 days living in a large Muslim community, embracing AND practicing their traditions and culture.
4. Spend 30 days living in San Francisco's Castro district with a gay roommate and become immersed in the community. (For those who are gay, switch it around to living in a super-homophobic city in the south.)
5. Spend 30 days living "off the grid" in an eco-village. You will grow and eat your own organic foods and recycle everything (including human waste).
6. Spend 30 days living as a binge drinker. This requires drinking a minimum of four drinks in a two-hour period everyday for 30 days. If you do this anyway, sorry, pick another option.
