’24 hours with…’ is the most exhausting read on the internet
Strategist Al Crawford has a bone to pick with one of Mumbrella’s regular features – “24 hours with…”.
In 1962, Alexander Solzhenitsyn wrote One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, his account of life in a Stalinist Gulag. Plot spoiler: it’s a pretty grim read.
In fact, it’s an unvarnished tale of monotony, cruelty and deprivation.
Mumbrella’s ’24 hours with…’ is a similar exercise to Solzhenitsyn’s: capture the essence of someone’s existence by recounting a day in the life.
Nice work Al. So far none of the 24 hours with featured have mentioned ‘google self’ – I’m sure that’s in there too.
This is the greatest article I’ve ever seen on Mumbrella. (thats genuine, not being sarcastic)
The second greatest, though, was Kerwin’s 24 Hours With.
The thing I most admire of the contributors is their remarkable bowel and bladder control.
Oh Al… how I wish you were still at Clems!
I miss Kerwin, I want to know what happened next?
Something to do with single-handedly saving the entire human race I would imagine.
7:00am – get up, shower and that. eat quick breakfast, go to work.
Do work stuff
9:00am – get coffee
Do work stuff
12:30pm – eat lunch
Do work stuff
3:30pm get coffee
Do work stuff
6:00pm – go home
7:00pm eat dinner
Netflix and all that
10:00pm go to sleep
It’s not that compelling, but happy to submit formally if you think it would generate some interest.
When they publish one where someone cries in the toilets for half an hour, we’ll have one we can believe.
