Over the weekend I finished watching the 50 years of Bond box set. I have always wanted to see them in order, maybe I should have watched Casino Royal and Quantum of Solace first so the rest would have been easy to pass off as Bond being in disguise.
Anyway last night I set up a web cam in my apartment so I could monitor it from home checking to see what my dogs do all day (sleeping, scratching and licking seem to be the done thing) and also so I could see if my house was entered by any unauthorized visits. We are moving soon and people are keen to see inside today, but when my wife or I are not there, we prefer this not to happen….
So I set up a camera and I’m monitoring it from work with the ability to record all that the camera sees and hears, and oh how super spy secret agent man do I feel right now.
Really I shouldn’t be suspicious that my land lord will bring some one through after I asked them not to when we weren’t home. Even though they did say that it would be better for them to bring someone through today after I’d told them that I’d prefer them to wait until Wednesday and after they asked if it was OK to do so in the first place.
But I am suspicious, after a year of trust issues occurring due to experiences I’ve had with my landlord, I’m now at a point where I’m second guessing every interaction I have with them.
However, have I gone too far this time? Webcams in my apartment, recording programs in place to capture evidence?
am I just being paranoid? or, is it just that I’ve watched so much James Bond lately that I’ve let it get in my head a bit to much? Heaven help me if I start watching The X-files again.
I have to say though, that thr little adrenaline rush I got today when I remotely logged into my home PC from work and turned on the webcam seeing my living room appear in a small window on my desktop was exciting… A little too exciting perhaps.
Has this happened to you? Have you ever been so influenced by a movie, game or TV show that it starts to get you thinking about it in your own world? Or do you fantasize about doing something that you saw in entertainment media?
I’d love to hear about it, I’m sure there are people out there who get caught up easily like me…. I hope so anyway.
