ausculture me!

Having seen the movie Super Size Me and been horrified by the effects of excessive exclusive consumption of McDonalds on the human body I decided to run an experiment of my own. What would happen if someone read only ausculture.com for an entire month?

Day one (June 22nd 2004)

Feeling fine. Got a bit bored at 2:13PM, decided to go through the archives. There’s certainly alot of useless crap, I mean, interesting information here.

Day two (June 22nd 2004)

Found myself wondering how this obvious gem went largely unnoticed. Did a search on ausculture.com for “gretel nude” in an attempt to understand why we get so many people from google for that particular search. Funnily enough, we don’t have any relevant pictures (thankfully).

Day three (June 23rd 2004)

Got lost whilst driving today. Partly because I couldn’t read the street sign or a map as per my “reading ausculture only” rule. Also realised that it will be difficult to do my tax return whilst enforcing this rule. Wondering what happened to Jess doing a fortnightly analysis of the search phrases that bring all the wonderful people to ausculture. Was it just another of ausculture’s unfulfilled promises?

Day four (June 24th 2004)

ausculture has been giving me a headache so I went to get an eyesight test. I didn’t read any letters (as per the only ausculture rule) and was pronounced blind.

Day five (June 25th 2004)

Watching paint dry. Enough said.

Day seven (June 27th 2004)

Passed out on day five somewhere between reading out excessive coverage of I’m a celebrity get me out of here (a show I never saw) and a post about Lee Hanson. Have woken up late on day seven. I’d think I’d rather not read anything at all today.

Day nine (June 29th 2004)

My spiritual advisor has urged me to stop this nonsense. I’ll see how I feel on day ten.

Day eleven (July 1st 2004)

Call it cheating, call it failing.

Either way, I’ve been reading Scott Plous’ “The Psychology of Judgment and Decision Making.”

That being the case I didn’t manage a whole month of ausculture.com. Of course, there’s a very big question mark over whether I ever really tried, applied myself, gave it my best shot, knuckled down or anything similar.

The end.
