On Enjoying the Little Things (For Such a Time is This)
I would like to be able to sit here and say that I have impeccable film taste, but I really don't. Sure, I like plenty of movies with beautiful cinematography and interesting plot lines (like my all-time favorite film , which is highly under-appreciated), but if we're honest, I'm just as likely to enjoy something asinine or predictable. I like to blame it on the fact that I have two younger brothers. Regardless, I really enjoy the movie Zombieland -- enough that I've been known to crash "Guys' Night" just so I could watch it (in my defense, literally every female I knew in Bozeman was out of town that weekend). In it, the main character Columbus has a list of rules he's developed to survive the zombie apocalypse. They're widely applicable statements that make decent advice for life in general, including rule #1: cardio; rule #4: seatbelts; and rule #22: When in doubt, know your way out. My favorite rule, though, is #32: Enjoy the little thing
