Fasting: The Movie
Fri Mar 04, 2005 10:26 (UTC -5)Tonight I’m going on the Food Fast retreat, during which I will fast for 24 hours. My original idea was to blog and photograph my way through the fast to keep you posted. Then, in my last post, I said I’d write down my thoughts and post them all when I got back. But I have a different plan now: I’m going to film it and make it into a short documentary of sorts. After all, it’s not often you starve yourself for a whole 24 hours. And I thought you might enjoy it. I can’t say it’ll be up soon after the retreat because I have school and such, but it’ll be up eventually.
And now, continued from my last post, is the conclusion of Yellow Chicken‘s “interview” with me, composed entirely of Ask Jordons.

What do you suppose I do on this boring day? And this is the last question I ask, yes…
Nothing, I guess, if you have nothing better to do than go to The World of Stuff. But thanks for being a loyal reader.
Okay, I lied…I have more questions for you (sorry for spamming your mailbag), which email do you use? I see a theworldofstuff & sppmail
Either address works. The theworldofstuff.com address redirects to my sppmail.zzn.com account, so the latter is the one I actually “use.”
With modern technology becoming quieter, some sounds are disappearing: for example, the sound of a telephone slamming or the sound of a needle scraping across a record. Even the sound of chalk on a blackboard is fading out of the picture; my school’s new building uses dry erase boards exclusively. But, as the article points out, these sounds are still used today because of the emotions they carry with them.
And with that, I’m out. See you after I starve myself. The retreat ends tomorrow (Saturday) night, but once I get home from the post-retreat cookout, I’ll probably be too tired and full to do anything but sleep. So… good night, also.
