Last Person On Earth
Some of you may have seen the new show "Last Man On Earth"? Basically after a disease wipes out all humans (and apparently animals since I haven't seen any on the show), only one man is left. It's a pretty interesting concept and started me thinking about all the things I would do and then all the limitations I would face due to the fact that while I am a master survivalist in a Zombie Apocalypse, I have no clue what to do without water and electricity. I would:
- Eat all the sugar* in the world because it wouldn't matter what I looked like nor would there be any doctors to treat me of all my terrible sugary ailments
- Go to all the department stores and shop up a storm. Ball gowns, cocktail dresses, designer shoes, you name it - I'm getting it and loading it in one of my fleet of fancy cars. On second thoughts, better move this to the top of the list, after I make a sugar baby in my belly, I'm not going be able to fit anything.
- Find the most ridiculously amazing house in Los Angeles and move in. Since there won't be a pool boy, I'm going to need to maximize my pool usage because pretty soon, it won't be pretty and moving houses is not going to solve the problem.
- Never vacuum, dust or mop again.
- Never do laundry again
- Visit all the famous attractions in America - no more standing in lines for me. Disneyland might be a bit tame if I can't turn the rides on...
- Probably walk around naked to see what it's like.
- Wander in and out of people's houses, "borrowing" stuff I like.
- Stockpile food - possibly should have thought of this first. Maybe even start a veggie garden. Yes, I think we all know it's going to die. I am where plants go to die.
- Drive all over the roads in any direction I feel like. Sort of how Californian's drive now.
And then there are the issues:
- Pretty sure I will need a generator since no one will be maintaining the electrical plants. Pretty sure I don't know what a generator looks like.
- Pretty sure I will need to stockpile water and not just for drinking - flushing the toilet is going to be a thing of the past since no one is manning the sanitation or water plants either. I will build some sort of rain catching device, most likely called a bucket. If things get really bad with the LA drought, I may have to move to Seattle or Portland for the Winter.
- There will be no vacations unless I learn how to fly or man a cruise ship. Only road trips.
- I am going to have to join a library. And hope that there are books on how to make electricity, sanitize water, fly a plane, steer a boat and treat myself for diabetes.
- Facebook, Instagram, Twitter are going to be boring. I'll have to create a bunch of different profiles to keep myself amused. On second thoughts, would the internet disappear? Back to the library...
*In case anyone is tracking, today I celebrate 66 days sugar-free which was my goal based on a report that said it takes 66 days to break a habit. For the record, Science is wrong. I think it's going to take 666 years for this to take root...if you want to congratulate me, feel free to send a gift basket of sugary treats.
