It's a DAVE in a Box

On Thursday I will be entering a box. And Not just any old box thanks very much. This is a special box.

I like my life experiments. Sometimes I actually feel that life might be one big experiment. That perhaps there's someone out there, somewhere, with a petri dish, looking down on his tiny microscopic dust particles, prodding them with tweezers and musing over how interesting his spores are. His friends would come over and laugh at him for being such a nob, and they'd get dangerously close to tipping the dish down the sink, but our man saves the day by showing his mates pictures of his sister naked. The friends put the dish down and the spores go back to their sporing. That is, life resumes.

This experiment on Thursday is to see what happens when you're trapped in a house with one other person, with no power and limited food. We'll be living together in a glass box at the top of Queen St Mall, and together we plan on surviving. I'm not sure how it will go, or who this other person is just yet, but I've got a good feeling. Hopefully it will raise awareness about storm season setting into Brisbane and possibly teach some people about the dangers of not being fully prepared. I know that flashlights are important, as is water. The rest I'm afraid is somewhat of a mystery that will only be solved by entering the box. To follow, hit up

As for this petri dish we call life, well, maybe it will get tipped down the sink tomorrow. Until then, let's enjoy it shall we?
