Does anyone remember those books called Choose your own Adventure?" Basically its one book and depending on decisions you make while you read a passage, it takes you to different pages throughout the book where you continue your journey. I use to love those books. I would actually cheat and find a good ending and work my way backwards. Anyway, I'd like to take that idea and make it reality, but in a different way.
I'd love to take suggestions from people on what things I can do in or around London or even in Europe. It can be stupid, daring, or even something very simple. If its reasonable enough I'd take the suggestion, try it out, and blog about it. If possible, I'd provide proper proof that I actually did it.
For example: What if someone suggested something stupid like doing the 'robot' in public in front of the main intersections at Piccadilly Circus. I'd somehow perform this, capture it on video and show it to all of you. How fun would that be?? ;-)
Anyway I think it would make my life and possibly this blog a little more interesting. I keep thinking about things I can do over the weekend and what to do with my free time, so I'm asking for help! So for anyone that actually reads this, I challenge you to think of ideas. Of course, like I said, it would have to be something reasonable. I prefer the suggestions in the 'comment' format, but if you are way to shy, feel free to email. =)
We'll see how it goes. It can bomb or it can be funny and interesting. I guess it depends if the suggestions are good and if I actually do them.. so keep them coming..
Yoga Part II
It was actually tougher the second time. I was sweating profusely halfway into it. We were doing more advanced movements and positions. Its quite relaxing and a great workout. And, everyone had their socks off! Yes, even the other student that didn't want to the first time. The funny part of the whole thing was when I walked in for class, I saw another guy paying for the class. Guess I'm no longer the only guy..
Cheese part II
I tried to cut the cheese again with the cheese plane and it slipped and cut the same thumb!! URGH.. now I have two band-aids on one thumb. I'm an idiot.

I used to love those books. I think I liked them so much because they were easier to read and basically they were shorter than regular books. You can't cut cheese and you want an adventure?? ;) OK here goes...
Take a helicopter tour around London and film it. Make it a funny commentary.
-OR-
Rent a car and re-create the scene from National Lampoons European Vacation and visit Big Ben. Drive around the circle repeating the lines "Look kids, Big Ben, the Parliment." Keep doing that until it gets dark out. Get in on film and share it with the world as a tribute to National Lampoons.
-OR-
Take a 'Jack the Ripper' tour. According to about.com : this dude gives the best tour. Then go BACK on the tour by yourself late at night and go to some spooky spot and film something and pee on it or something like that and maybe the ghost of jack the ripper will come after you or something.
OK that last one was kind of goofy cuz i was running out of ideas but, CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE.
choose your own adventure:
go to harvey nichols or harrods and pose as a fake mannequin in the window.
OR
pick your favorite tube line (bakerloo, central, circle, district, etc) and take it from beginning to end, taking pictures of each stop along the way. *hint: the victoria line seems to be the most straight forward with no branching off **this one is my favorite
OR
battle the stigma and eat at a fancy restaurant solo
OR
ride the tube and violate somebody's personal space. for example, if there was just one person in the tube car, sit next to him/her.
