spymaster television 

As you may know, I don't watch a lot of television. Reality television, even less so. Should we not refer to them as "out-of-studio social gameshows"? In any case, the exception to these, for me, has been TLC's Spymaster. What a fun show! Getting trained in various military and covert arts, including personal combat (hand-to-hand, pistol training, etc), vehicle control (obstacle/reaction course, collision handling), orienteering, precision drops, etc. Think of it as a televised military crash course, except if you struggle at something you're kicked out rather than given 100 push-ups. And as a reality show, it doesn't feature any of the backstabbing, catty-ness, flirting, or low necklines. But even so, I like Spymaster a lot.

2010/05/21 Hwan I recall trying earplugs well back in my undergrad years, to mixed results. My sleep was troubled by feelings of claustrophobia. I also have a, perhaps unfounded, fear of not hearing the essential alarm in the mornings. However, I may give these another go, thanks.
2010/05/21 llamatron Have you tried sleeping with earplugs? My flat faces out onto a main road, so I've started using the standard foam plugs. It took a few nights to get used to them, but they make a big difference.
