Gotta be sneaky. I'm on camera 24/7...except for in the shower and when I'm pissing/pooping. And the camera can't see through my blanket ;).

I saw a blog that said NASA was paying people to lay in bed. At first glance, I assumed it was just BS click bait, but it's real! So, I filled out some long health questionnaires and went to Houston twice for physical and psychological testing before I was accepted for one of the 55 spots out of ~25k applications.

I haven't lost or gained any weight. The diet is custom tailored for my weight and metabolism so that I maintain the same weight. I asked them to make me lose 5-10 lbs before I leave, but they won't.

Most days, I feel really good. I'm had such a lack of free time the last few years that I am really enjoying the empty hours. Every now and then, I have a little mental freak-out moment when I wake up in the middle of the night mashed against the headboard (due to the 6 deg angle) or some nurse is telling me that I lifted my head to high and I need to stay down.

Also, I'm bummed that I missed one of my best friend's weddings and my uncles funeral while I've been here. That's tough because I feel like I'm making somewhat of a selfish decision by being here.

Memory mostly, which is a nice change of pace. I really think that porn can be bad for the brain in excess.

I usually start the day with 30 minutes of meditation and read a good book for a while. Then, I study for the GRE and LSAT for a bit. Then, I spend the evening watching some TV, a movie, or playing some Starcraft or Halo. Throughout the day, I usually have some kind of testing (MRI, ECHO, spacial reasoning tasks, isokinetic strength measurements, etc, etc) and have one or two exercise sessions 6 days a week. So, I'm not JUST lying in bed with nothing to do.
