I’m totally amazed (and a little embarrassed) by the amount of conversation generated by my laundry situation both offline and online (especially on Twitter).
Now, some of my friends are suggesting that I get myself some life-casting equipment and convert this blog into a video reality show!
First, I never intended this experiment to become a reality show; a year of my life is worth more than that. Insights into why we consume? Yes! A new way to live a simple(r) life? Yes! A multi-million dollar book deal? Yes! A reality show? No way!
Second, after my 60 hour work week, and my other online avatars, I’m finding it difficult to find time to write even one post a day. Even thinking about doing a live video show is madness.
Third, even if I had the time and the inclination to turn this experiment into a reality show, who would want to watch it? I’m not particularly attractive (not in a Paris Hilton way, anyways), I live a rather simple life (no, really, I do), I’ll be living an even more simple life (as you’ll find out) and I don’t intend to write really personal posts about my love life here (I have another, less visible, blog for that). So, who’ll want to watch videos of me making cheese + banana + capsicum sandwiches for dinner every night?
