I have another post for you in the wings, but first things first. If you have anything that can help me out of the awful pit of a mood I found myself in yesterday, sadly carried over to today, I’d be much obliged. My usual bag of tricks is failing me, so flowers, jokes not involving racial slurs, and pizza are all welcome. Next, remember those short films I wrote about on Saturday? I found a few of them online and wanted to share my favorite with you. Take a few minutes and watch. No really.

It’s all in the details, folks. The cupcakes, the tarragon, the clenched hands. I likely would have made pizza, but of course, that’s just me.

This may not sit well with all readers* but I find that the little boy seeing lobsters for the first time always cheers me up.

I think it’s the subtle, nuanced use of the word “whoa” that really does it for me.
* vegetarians in particular, although I have been one for 20 years and I love the clip anyway.
A priest walked into a barber shop in Washington, D.C. After he got his haircut, he asked how much it would be. The barber said, “No charge. I consider it a service to the Lord.”
The next morning, the barber came to work and there were 12 prayer books and a thank you note from the priest in front of the door.
Later that day, a police officer came in and got his hair cut. He then asked how much it was. The barber said, “No charge. I consider it a service to the community.”
The next morning, he came to work and there were a dozen donuts and a thank you note from the police officer.
Then, a Senator came in and got a haircut. When he was done he asked how much it was. The barber said, “No charge.
I consider it a service to the country.”
The next morning, the barber came to work and there were 12 Senators in front of the door.

Oh, gosh. I only know stupid jokes. Just sending you hugs and sunshiney thoughts! And the llama song, which I think is one of the best things ever: http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/llama
Champagne helps my bad moods. As does CW television. Please don’t judge.
Big hug to you! And this little gem

Honey, I’m so sorry. :( Totally been there. My favorite joke of all time even though other people hate it:
A woman got on a bus holding a baby. The bus driver said, “That’s the ugliest baby I’ve ever seen!”
In a huff, the woman slammed her fare into the fare box and took an aisle seat near the rear of the bus. The man seated next to her sensed that she was agitated and asked her what was wrong. “The bus driver insulted me,” she fumed.
The man sympathized with her and said, “Why, he’s a public servant and shouldn’t say things to insult passengers.”
“You’re right,” she said. “I think I’ll go back up there and give him a piece of my mind.”
“That’s a good idea,” the man said. “Here, let me hold your monkey.”
oh my god, it just occured to me that that joke might be racist. When I think about the joke I always just pictured a white lady and now I’m like having a moral crisis in my head over the “monkey” part. :/
Isn’t it so tough to drag yourself out of a funk? I hope you feel happier soon. Here is a bad joke to cheer you up-its the only joke i’ve ever been able to remember!
A duck walks into a bar, walks up to the bartender and asks, “excuse me, do you sell condoms here?”
The bartender replied, “why yes we do-would you like me to put that on your bill?”
I’m sorry you’re feeling bad. I totally understand. I would send you chocolate and beer. Yes, together.
In the meantime, I’m CRACKING UP at Keb. It didn’t even dawn on me to think that joke was racist; the monkey-faced baby has no racial boundary. Too funny though. ;)
P.S. After looking through these a little closer a) I LOVE the yip-yips! b) The Hoff. Brilliant. and c) I have my own to add. Because it’s cute:
