When I was 6 years old my brother and I dug a hole to China in our parent’s back yard. Someone told us on the other side of the world everything will be upside down, so off course our curiosity got the better of us. Little did I know I would eventually arrive in China, thanks to an airplane ticket instead of two spades and my brother's digging motivation. And what did I find? Indeed, things where upside down... I work on Sunday, and Monday is my weekend. Weird.
It sounds quite nice, but I find it quite difficult to get used to. I get really bored... Maybe it's cause our brains have been programmed to work on Mondays, and therefore we dread Mondays... and now the day I usually dread is my new fun day... but my brain can only programme "work" on Mondays and now it doesn’t want to let me enjoy "fun" on Mondays... Just thinking about it confuses me!
Anyway, so I've made some progress. I found a new TV series on Mondays and I love it! It's called FlashForward. It's on the HBO channel Monday evenings "back to back" - which is American for "two episodes after each other". Off course Americans can make watching TV for two hours in a row sound so much more exciting than it is. Maybe you aren’t into Science Fiction like I am, but I think anyone would enjoy this show. Especially if you enjoyed the TV series Lost.
So this is the plot: On 6 October 2009, a mysterious event causes everyone on the planet to simultaneously lose consciousness for two minutes and seventeen seconds. During this "blackout" people see visions of their lives on 29 April 2010 - themselves in the future - and this is called a global "flashforward." Some flashforwards are wonderful, but others are quite distrubing... And our hero, Joseph Fiennes investigates this phenomenon while secret agents try to stop him... will all the flasforwards come true? will our hero find out the truth? will my Mondays get better than being addicted to a TV show? dum dum dummm!
