Slow Motion Minutes by Sombrero Guy

February 11th, 2008 8:40 AM

INSTRUCTIONS: Take a few minutes out of every hour for one day to do everything in slow motion.

I completed this task yesterday, a Sunday. It was very amusing to see some people's reactions.

First thing in the morning (about 7:30 when I woke up) I set my watch to 'chime' every hour, on the hour.
The first notable period of slow motion was 10:00, when i was halfway through breakfast. Not only did I have to chew slowly, but my Dad asked me a question once I'd finished the mouthful, sssssooooo IIIIIIII hhhhaaaaddd ttttoooooo sssssssssssspppppppppppeeeeeeakkkkkk rrrrrrreeeeaaaaalllllllyyyy ssssssllllllllllooooooooooowwwwwwlllllllyyyyy iiiiiiinnnn aaaaaaaa rrrrriiiiiddddddiiiiiccccuuuuulllllooooooouuuuuusssss ddddeeeeeeeeeeeeeeppppp vvvvvvooooooiiiiiicccccceeeeeeee.
OK. Maybe the above isn't the best way to write it, but you get the idea.
By 11:00 I was playing tennis. This was very difficult when it came to the slow motion, as the ball wasn't joining me in completing the task. I found myself wondering how the hell they play in slow motion on TV...
At 16:00 I had to browse the shelves of a bookshop in slow motion. I decided, for the hell of it, to walk from one end of the store to the other in these few minutes.
At 18:00 I had the chance to walk down the stairs in slow motion, which i had judged more interesting than reading a book.

This was a very entertaining task. I liked inventing things for myself to do in slow motion. Written above are only a few of the times I went into slow-mo mode.

Overall, I found the task very enjoyable. Except that I lost the tennis match.

Slow motion tennis: Easy to learn, a lifetime to master.

Meh..

Voted, but text completions are never the most liked of all. I would have liked to see the tennis, bet it was hilarious for anyone watching, and your opponent :P
