Total sensory overload

Inspired by this webpage (which is kind of similar to that book by the guy from MST3K who saw a movie in a theater every day for a year): have you ever done so much of something (no drugs or alcohol) that it effected you physically or mentally? I guess I mean overdosing on something legal; movies, music, food, whatever. What happened?

After watching the Lightning Bolt tour DVD The Power of ~~Sound~~Salad, I felt extremely physically exhausted, as though I had just run 20 miles non-stop.

The only thing I can think of for myself is when I watched Terminator 2, Natural Born Killers, and Reservoir Dogs in the same weekend and kept getting the urge to shoot people.

xpost, that Lightning Bolt DVD rulez. I love the 2 videos on there, they're like the best videos ever.

Totally! Although epileptic people might not agree.

The Sound of Music every day for a whole summer holiday. Grease the next year. Grease 2 the year after. Ferris Bueller the year after that. I was too busy watching these films to see Why Don't You, which apparently requested me to get outside and do something less boring instead. But I can quote... boy, can I quote. I have also spent night after night, summer after summer, fantasising that I was a nun/pink lady/biker chick/sloane peterson.

GTA3 did something evil to me - I started laughing like a SPANKED UP MADMAN when I saw snipers on the news and stuff.

And ILX, obv!

Back in '96 they brought the Rocky Horror Picture Show back to the Kentucky Theatre for the first time in like 20+ years, and it was a sold out show/packed house of costumed/armed-to-the-teeth Rocky Horror freaks into which I stumbled, bugging on really good acid. Rolls of toilet paper unraveling as they flew through the air in the path of the film projection became little technicolor rainbows, people dancing in the aisles, and the worst (best) part was at the very end when they started doing the tiiiiime waaarp agaaaain, and in the confines of my own mind I seriously did the tiiiime waaaarp agaaaaaain to the first tiiiiime waaaaarp agaaaain in the film, sat through the rest of the film over again until the closing tiiiime waaaarp agaaaaain, went through this cycle like six times 'til I realized "hey, everyone else is leaving the theater!" and finally I had escaped that evil tiiiiime waaaaarp agaaaaain wormhole. When I got home later, according to my friends I just sat there with a blank Corey-Feldman-jaw-hanging-agape expression on my face for the next 7 hours.

every time I think I'm ready to try acid again, I read one of your posts, nza.

And it makes you want to take acid even more!

4 years of college-level literature classes has left me unable to read novels.

This gets close to melting synapses (cheers Lynskey).

Worrying. It dominates everything.
