| Introduction | Technorati Profile What's with this blog's name? No, don't worry about inviting me to your next swingers get-together (though I'd appreciate the thought!) -- I'm actually referencing the film Being There. Peter Sellers plays Chance the Gardener, who turns the world on its head just by being himself -- which is really no one at all. His famous line "I like to watch" is Chance in a nutshell. Numbly watching TV -- and real life -- is all Chance can do, having learned everything he knows about life from the boob tube. The film is based on a short satirical novel written by Jerzy Kosinski 10 years earlier, in 1969. Though the movie is now almost 30 years old, it couldn't be more applicable to today's society.
