This is yet another amusing but ultimately pointless attempt to make sense of the world, a place to share curiosities and outrages. That and the occasional movie review.

Ideation
I'm just full of ideas for spending my time: write novels, create a stirring blog that more than 3 people might want to visit, do stats analysis for nonprofits, collect music-inspired poetry from people I know. But those ideas are so dull. Finally, I've come up with a brilliant idea: month-by-month religious adoption! Over a year, I could spend a month at a time learning and practicing the lifestyle of a particular religious group. Whatever the observant religious person would do, I would do, following gender customs and so on. I would do it from a respectful stand point, not a critical one. I'd need a mentor in each community lined up before I began, I would think. Ideally, it would be organized such that a major holy-day or period would be included in the month. In some cases, more than a month might be necessary. The more I play with this idea, the more it intrigues me. Of course, it's sort of like one episode of Morgan Spurlock's show 30 Days. And of course, it will have to wait at least 12 months. *sigh* So many good ideas, so little time.

Would Scientology be included as one of your "30 days or your money back" test-runs? :)
Um, no, I shall continue a lifelong practice of avoiding cults.
