Can't get depressed until the sun comes out

Good job Los Angeles.... it's been cloudy and grey for a week. By my apartment (where I've been holed up both working and slacking) it hasn't even rained during the day. Every day is the same cloudy and medium grey. One week.


Let me point out that I also just repainted my room a darker blue/grey. Really pretty. I love it. But between the new color and the weather, my room in particular has been really really dark for the past week (it's almost black at noon with my shades closed although it makes sleeping in really easy). Better not get sad until the sun comes back out to play.


In the meantime, stay happy LA with these wonderfully ridonkulous ways to "keep your insanity"...

1.  At lunch time, sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point a hair dryer at passing cars…see if they slow down. 

 

2. Every time someone asks you to do something, ask if they want fries with that. 

3. Put decaf in the coffee maker for 3 weeks. Once everyone has gotten over their caffeine addictions, switch to espresso.

4. In the memo field of all your checks, write ‘for marijuana’.

5. Order a ‘diet water’ whenever you go out to eat, with a serious face.

6. Specify that your drive-thru order is ‘to go’.

7. Sing along at the opera.

8. Five days in advance tell your friends you can’t attend their party because you have a headache.

9. When the money comes out of the ATM scream, “I won! I won!” 

10. Tell your children over dinner, “Due to the economy, we are going to have to let one of you go.” 

11. Pick up a box of condoms at the pharmacy, go to the counter, and ask where the fitting room is.
