I had to do a load of laundry by hand yesterday... the washer motor broke. So I had all these soapy sweaters... I wrung them out by hand in the bathtub but strangely I wasn't that pissed. Actually, I really connected to my sweaters in a weird non clothingphilic sort of way. I mean, usually I just wear em and leave em.

There's a line in Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns where Batman tells a soon to be converted youngun, "We kill too often because we make it too easy..." Makes them kill with their hands. I think it's like that with laundry... If I had to wash by hand, I'd have 2 shirts, max.
