From the "Happy Or Else" folder

[squeequeg]

Today kinda sucked. Here in Boston, it was gray, gray, horrible gray, and the day job wasn't much better. I ended up in a really lousy funk during work (and after, since I had to stay late), and this wasn't helped by the realization that I'd been listening to "Brian Wilson" by the Barenaked Ladies on a loop for a little while. Great song; not helping.

As there's only so much I can do in these circumstances, I've been self-medicating with chicken soup, hot chocolate, and aggressively cheerful music. But since a lot of people seem to be going through the same thing, I thought I'd share. Misery may love company, but defiant joy throws better parties.

So here's four from my "Fuck You, I Refuse To Be Sad Right Now" playlist. Post some of your own music that chases off bad moods! Or cat pictures! Or corgi videos! Or anything else that makes you smile or brings back a little of the sunlight!

This Avatar: The Last Airbender vid is my new favorite thing ever:



It's set to a remix of the top 25 pop songs of 2009, so it's the absolute most perfectly crafted earworm of a song, with a "get up when you knocked down" message and A:TLA graphics! It's the perfect storm of a pick-me-up!
