I'm not much of a media consumer, and when I am I find Youtube channels better exemplify the simple living lifestyle (plenty out of Japan). However, every once in a while I stumble upon characters or plots in mainstream media that resonate with my simple living values. Years ago, I truly enjoyed the film Under the Tuscan Sun (though the book was vastly different and superior). More recently, I have been enthralled with the television series Somebody Somewhere.

What series or films do you enjoy that best encapsulate your simple living ideals?

Not the fancy quick kind, but the slow, rolled oats kind which is lower on the glycemic index.

As I was eating it plain, I noticed that it was cooler than usual while the humidity wasn't bad.

Seizing this rare opportunity in the South, I opened my doors and windows, threw caution to the wind, and kept cooking. One nice lentil stew and some baked salmon later (which I will enjoy for lunch and dinner), I closed up the house knowing that I saved maybe $0.10 in air conditioning.

Not all heroes wear capes gentlemen.
