Resession Obsession

So this weekend was hot. I mean really hot. Like surface of the sun hot where after fifteen seconds outdoors your inner thighs start to get clammy and that "less than fresh" feeling takes over. You know what I'm talking about.

That being said I decided that my personal path to freshness meant spending as little time outside as possible and so my couch and I spend some quality moments together this weekend.

I'm getting to a point in my life where I'm OK with "vegging". I'm not terribly good at it and do get antsy or feel guilty as there are more productive things I could be doing but it's work in progress and a great alternative to sweaty inner thighs.

Anyhoo...

Being on the couch more that usual of course meant watching TV more than usual which was fun for a while. Problem is I just found myself becoming increasingly pissed off at the pure volume of recession based commercials!

The sheer hypocrisy of the "we understand times are hard, we know you have no money, have lost your job, your car and your house" but if you give us what little money you have left we'll give you some crap you don't need at a slightly reduced price. Drove me nuts. Seriously if I hear the phrase "in times like these" again I'll scream!

I was going to say I'd throw the TV out of the window but then I'd have to go take advantage of Best Buy's recession savings now wouldn't I?

It's a funny world.
