What am I Reading? – The Sleep Experiment by Jeremy Bates - In 1954, at the start of the Cold War, the Soviet military offered four political prisoners their freedom if they participated in an experiment requiring them to remain awake for fourteen days while under the influence of a powerful stimulant gas. The prisoners ultimately reverted to murder, self-mutilation, and madness. None survived.
In 2018, Dr. Roy
Wallis, an esteemed psychology professor at UC Berkeley, is attempting to
recreate the same experiment during the summer break in a soon-to-be demolished
building on campus. He and two student assistants share an eight-hour
rotational schedule to observe their young Australian test subjects around the
clock.
What begins
innocently enough, however, morphs into a nightmare beyond description that no
one could have imagined—with, perhaps, the exception of Dr. Roy Wallis himself.
What am I Listening to? –
An exuberant amount of talk radio. With the world currently upside down, COVID
and the pending election, all hands are on deck. Seriously.
What
Quote am I Pondering? – “What happens after the 2020 election? Doesn’t matter
who wins EVERYTHING is gonna change.” - Unknown
What am I Researching? – My brain
has been so ADD lately. Too many changes at once, perhaps? This week was all
about organizing. I rearranged my room, moved my office, and am now looking at
the kitchen in scrutiny.
Yummy
Meal of the Week – Loaded Baked Potato w/ chili, cheese, sour cream, scallions.
I got mine from Bill & Ruth’s. Easy peasy to make at home.
What
did I Learn? – The World is on Hold – Not in any way true but also completely
true. At least in the US, we are all trying to move forward. However, it seems
with every step there is a new obstacle. Whether it’s Cancel Culture (Yes I
have personally experience the loss of followers due to the expression of an
opinion), School starting(Zack is back in school. Full on masks, one-way
hallways, and Friday online learning. Fake News (whether you like it or not the
truth of anything is a challenge to find these days). Protesting, Rioting,
Wildfires, or the frustration from our inability to navigate any of it without
going in circles and questioning our own sanity. Chew on that… 😊
What
am I Watching?
– The Home Edit - A Netflix Original Series. 'Move over, Marie
Kondo - Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin are the professional organizers the
A-list now let rifle through their drawers.' - Sunday Times Style Clea Shearer
and Joanna Teplin are back again to bring both function and beauty to your
everyday life. ...
