I learned another new word today.. and I love it !.. Otaku.. (Otaku (おたく/オタク) is a Japanese term used to refer to people with obsessive interests usually video games, manga, etc) .. A new friend said that she was a Science Otaku ,too..
I’m finding the older I get the more I appreciate others.. and my own obsesions. I love finding kindered spirits in others who share my own obsessions, but there’s nothing more entertaining than meeting someone who is irrationally absorbed with a topic I know nothing about. I have friends who are in to model trains (you know who you are) ,
postage stamps, clarinets, word play, history, metal, music, player pianos, musicals, postcards, guns, languages, helicopters, orchids, accordions, ..
The world is a better place because of these obsessives.. I salute you (us) all.
Speaking of Science obbsesives.. I got the official word today that the colony is casting season 2. They’re specifically looking for the mad scientist person. Are you her/him ?
Here’s the official notice that I got today…
Now casting season two of
“THE COLONY”
The
Discovery Channel invites you to participate in an extraordinary,
once-in-a-lifetime experience: in the second season of this critically
acclaimed docu-reality series deemed a “social experiment”, a group of
eleven strangers must co-exist in a simulated, post-apocalyptic world.
The world as you know it is gone – there is no water, no food, no
communication, no power. It’s now up to you and eleven strangers to
fend for yourselves as you rebuild society and re-engineer the world as
you once knew it.
If you understand the science of survival, if
you have a skill that would help you and others survive after a
catastrophe, if you are ambitious, motivated, resourceful under
pressure and willing to un-tap your personal ingenuity, we are looking
for you. Join us in this true test of the human spirit.
To apply, log on to www.metalflowersmedia.com
Must have TANGIBLE survival skills and big personalities.
Apply NOW if interested or forward this to anyone you think would be great. We’re only casting for a SHORT TIME!
I’m thinking that a large number of evil or mid-evil mad scienctists are reading this blog right now thinking.. ‘hey.. I could do that..’ If you think you’d be interested.. let me know and/or.. go straight to metalflowersmedia.com and apply.
I can tell you it was a wonderful and difficult experience. I’d love ot help find the next batch of .. uh… victims..
