I totally understand...I'm an inanimate object and I want to have some sort of purpose and be useful. Thanks for posting this video. I really needed it tonight. I've been on a hell of a downer for the past couple days, and this helped cheer me up. I love how the baked potato description says, "Crispy on the outside, hot as molten lava on the inside." My emotional attachment to my vehicles has been minimal. I want them to keep going and don't like to see them break down in the end, but moving on to something newer and getting rid of the old heap isn't that big a deal. Now, as far as getting emotional over inanimate objects, I most definitely once got very emotional over my first Commodore 64. I'd already repaired it once, with a blow torch no less, but after a few more useful years the thing started to give out again. Watching the screen garbage as it struggled to power up was like watching an old friend die. In the end I couldn't fix it, but its parts have been salvaged for replacing chips that burn out in my other C64s. Some gifts I've received over the years have really stood out as being great in their usefulness and longevity. One was the Commodore floppy drive my brother and I received when we were kids. I still have it and it's almost-but-not-quite working, but I think I can fix it with some head calibration or something. Just haven't gotten around to it. One of my favorite gifts as a kid was an Inspector Gadget action figure, which I still have in the original box. I literally thanked my mom for months for getting it for me. As far as blankets go, one blanket on my bed I've had for a good 30 years. It's one of those fuzzy blankets (from back when they were big enough to be a blanket and not just cover your legs) with a huge eagle on it, positioned as if soaring down to nab some prey or land on a tree branch. The edge border is something like a t-shirt material and it's getting kind of tattered, and there are a few places where the fuzzy material is getting kind of threadbare, but it always fluffs up nice and soft in the dryer after it's washed.

Wow. Rather applicable for me too. Shit week though. Had a car accident in the beginning of the week, wrecked the car. Felt a bit sorry for wrecking the car, but more so because I -just- (literally minutes) -spent- about $420 on getting it serviced. What sucks the most about not having a car is not having a car. And that's about it.
