Help me pick another idea for my little project!

Hey!

Some of you may have seen my CD Bingo thread over in Music (If not, the idea is I have a tub filled with piece of paper with an album and artist on, and each week pluck some out to buy) and I have decide to expand this into movies and TV.

I am loving the randomness of it all and stops me standing deciding in shops as the tub decides for me! I keep getting my friends to add albums and such to the tubs.

However, I am thinking this idea could work for more things in my life but i am not sure! What I am asking of you OCUKers is suggestions for more tubs, what else could I turn into a "bingo"?

Thanks in advance!

Meals, holidays, what time to get up - the list could be endless.

Can't you make decisions?

Dinner (and other meals obv)
Drink

Cocktails to make. Will slowly expand your drinks cuboard.

Yeah I can, but it's more fun to pluck a list of random CDs and movies out - I have listened and watched things I would have possibly skipped on otherwise!

EDIT

Also, asking other people to give me the idea for the next tub adheres to the whole randomness of the tubs, really doesn't it?

It's ace! I like the random nature of it all! Stops me standing with a big stack of CDs in Zavvi pondering which ones to buy and not!

Hehe, does add a little twist to life I suppose.

Radio Station to listen to on the way to work?
What utensils to use for breakfast? lol

hmm... the list really good be endless....

I had made a list of things that I wanted to buy in the new year - however that could be a bit expensive to do, as it has little things like a new keyboard and mouse up to an LCD TV!

I bet you sometimes get one you don't like and put it back in and take another one :mad:

Haha! No I don't! That's the only rule! You have to buy what you pull out of the tub!

Do you have a girlfriend / wife? ...

Pookie Bear · 23 Dec 2008 at 15:58

I'd hate to think what kind of movies and CD my friends would put in there. I'd be listening to utter tripe

meghatronic · 23 Dec 2008 at 15:59

I can't believe there is that much you want.....

Surprisingly, some of my friends have put gems in there, stuff I have never even heard of - and now love!

What do you mean?

You don't believe that are that many CDs I want?

It was a statement of shock rather than questioning, but yes! I can count on one hand the CDs I want and don't own... likewise movies etc...

Then there is another tub, surely?

Well, I do love my music and movies, I just have a lot of gaps in my collections!

I reckon if you went into a music store, you would be able to point out a fair few dozen albums that you kept meaning to buy, or wanted but never got round too.

Plus a lot of the movies and music is on recommendation, and others are just random movies! Got to mix it up!

I am sure my GF would not like to be referred to as a Tub!

don't you curse people when you end up watching a dodgy film? I love the idea but it strikes me as a little bit of a double edged sword!
