Opposites

I think that opposites are too ambiguous. I used to hate the idea of opposite day. What is the opposite of green, is it light green, is it blue, is it the absence of color? It could be any number of things. This has been bothering me more lately because my dance instructor keeps telling us to do whatever movement we are doing in reverse. I never know if she means do the steps in reverse order, switch from right to left, front to back etc.

Investing

What industries are limited by the cost of electricity? I think they would be a good market to invest in because electricity prices are going to drop dramatically over the next 40 years.

Superbowl Movie Theatre

I think it would be cool to watch large sporting events in a movie theater. It would provide a giant screen, you would be around other people who are interested in the game and people you haven't met before.

Attractiveness/Talkativeness Ratio

Something that I have observed but might not be true is that the more attractive someone is the more likely they are to be talkative. I think this might be because people want to interact with attractive people and more interaction breeds someone who is more talkative. Or, if someone is tremendously attractive, they would encounter people who might find it difficult to speak around them, forcing the attractive person to fill in the conversation. I think I am going to use this knowledge and become more talkative thereby fooling people into thinking that I am more attractive than I actually am.

Sunglasses

I think you get a free pass to be able to wear ridiculous sunglass if you are wearing a uniform. You gotta be able to express yourself somehow!

Large Sunglasses

I was on the bus the other day and there was an infant and it's mother sitting in front of me. I was wearing large sunglasses and discovered that the baby's lack of object permanence could be played with simply by taking my glasses on and off. The mother was also wearing large sunglasses and I realized that the baby might be less connected to the mother while wearing sunglasses because it was no longer a person that the infant recognized. Although I was unable to gather much hard evidence, I think it is probably a good idea for mothers to avoid fashion that obscures the face so as to maintain a stronger connection with the infant, at least until a certain age.

Ipod Sales Idea

I think it would be cool if you could buy an ipod with music already on it and you wouldn't be able to sync it up with your computer but instead it would sync up with someone else's itunes. An idea for the music that would be on the ipod could be what is a famous musician's ipod.

Killer Scene

I think that an good scene in a story about a murder who travels from city to city setting up new identities who is a "strong and silent type". The scene would be of the person shopping for household items for a new city they have moved into. The murder would be very knowledgeable about housewares and would have individual taste. This would provide character background, character development and it would be simple enough to choose the items that he picks out to be ones with strong symbolic meaning.

Extradition Movie

I think an interesting documentary would be of people who have committed heinous crimes, but were able to flee to countries without extradition laws.

Road Eye Contact

If you are in a car and have a desperate urge to look someone in the eye, buses don't produce as high of a yield as one would expect.

A Rare Scene

Its a rare scene watching someone working who is involved in non-customer service white collar work. It seems to me that most people's jobs are non-customer service and this leads to an undervaluation of the their, too rarely noticed, profession.
