Self indulgence

OK, I'm one of the 15 million unemployed people in America, so I'm going to try blogging so I don't get depressed. I'm going to talk about things I like, things I don't like, and things I just can't stand. Like lawn work: I hate lawn work. The best thing about lawn work is getting it done and over with. One of the high points of my week is when I get the lawn work done so I don't have to worry about it for another week. I do it all by hand, b/c if I'm going to do it I might as well get some exercise out of it. And I hate power lawn equipment. Burn calories, not fossil fuels! Sometimes you have to use some of it, but I use a rotary hand-push mower, and even do the trimming by hand with a wonderful pair of Fisker's clippers. But what I hate most of all is those hellacious blowers. The things burn fossil fuels, polute the area with sound pollution, and put off noxious fumes just to blow hot air. How utterly stupid is that? I can understand (barely) the use of one of those in a commercial setting, but why on earth would any private homeowner need to use something like that? If you can't swing a broom you should be hiring someone to do your yard work or living in an assisted living facility.

So what do I like? Zombieland looks like fun. Anyone up for a matinee?
