Ariah: I’m sorry you weren’t in total awe of this movie, haha, but to each his own, right? I love how you said you would get totally bored of it really quickly. I think you’re right, it would probably drive anyone crazy after too long. That’s why we gotta plan out now what to do in case it happens, we can keep things interesting. Don’t worry, I think if you jump out of a plane or a tall building, you’ll die instantly. You bring up an interesting moral question about the bank robberies…is it still wrong if it all just reverts back to normal the next day? I’m kinda thinking yes, still wrong, haha.

Vickie: Wasn’t planning on it, and now I won’t start planning on it! Thanks for the public service announcement! I like your blog by the way!

I think jumping out of planes and off buildings would be awesome, except that it could still hurt a lot if you weren’t killed instantly.

I also would make sure to eat whatever I wanted each day (not too much though, I already know the affects of buffets on me).

I like the lottery and giving money idea, but I don’t think it would be nearly as fun if it was erased the next day.

I think I’d try all kinds of bank robberies and break ins (it’s not morally wrong if it has no effect right?), just for fun.

That’s all I have energy for, I think I’d get insanely bored pretty quickly. I like that tomorrow comes and that we all move together, grow, learn, everything.
(maybe this is because I have a kid and I’m looking forward to watching her grow up)

Secondly, as an obsessed fan of GD, I question your assertion that Bill Murray is stuck on the same day for 10 years. After seeing the movie a bazillion times, I always got the impression that it was a few months, MAYBE a year that he was stuck. Long enough to become good at the piano and memorize everyone’s story in town, but short enough to not age. Did I miss a quote in there somewhere about the time?

I love your list Zach. If I lived the same day over and over, I’d:
- eat my weight in chocolate mousse, chocolate cake, marshmallows, and mac n cheese
- hug a polar bear
- tell a couple of key people off
- buy a plane (on credit?) and go to a different city every day and eat their best food and see something unique to that place (can you fly anywhere in the world in 24 hrs? cause i’d like to see antartica and eat some penguin and see some ice)
- try out some drive-by / run-by kissing techniques (I feel that this is similar to your witnessing practice, Zach, just slightly more exciting and useful after you go back to normal life)
- see every film in the top 100 (I know you do that anyway, Zach, but some of us just don’t take the time)
- become amazing at an olympic sport, find a high level competition for that sport somewhere in the world on that day, and break onto the scene as an unknown and unmatched pro, creating mass confusion and hysteria in teenage athletes who’ve been training since infancy
- steal as many diamonds as possible within a 24 hour period, wearing them all at each successive heist (this might seem like it would tip off the jeweler, but I think it’ll just make them excited that you apparently have money and an obviously penchant for bright, shiny things)
- hot air balloon races where you’re barely hovering above the ground and being pulled by a dozen cocker spaniels
- did I mention cat farming yet?
