How do you beat the winter blahs? I have no idea. Sometimes nothing works: Not sunshine, not cocoa, not recreating the Summerhill vineyard from The Wicker Man on the The Sims and making all the little Pagans crush grapes. So I browsed online for some tips. That was *helpful*.
"Add beans and lentils to your diet." (Check.)
"Forward some silly photos from your digital photo library." (Check.)
"Go to a concert, ballet, or opera." (Um, I'd like to be less depressed, thanks.)
"Look at the color orange." (What, on purpose? You kidding?)
One thing did work today, though: Curb Your Enthusiasm. In season 4 Mel Brooks casts Larry David as the new Bialystock in The Producers, and at the very end of the season (SPOILER coming...) you learn that he did it just to destroy the show so he wouldn't have to "do any more openings in Cleveland or spend any more nights in filthy Pittsburgh". And of course it backfires. Funniest show ever.

I guess being confronted and surrounded by a gang of 8-10 hoods in the front lobby wanting to put a scare into me doesn't help our quiet Sundays eh SME, I threw one of there drug dealers out 20 minutes earlier for trespassing in the building...(we played the staring game to see who would blink first) all the time my heart pounded with adrenalin) Wow what a rush for a quiet Sunday!
Earlier in the day I learned my car was being used for target practice by an some unknown neighbor with a gun and paint balls for ammo...
back to the hood story...(the gang leader must have scolded his drug dealer low life, to come down and apologize for spitting at me earlier, We shook hands and now I figure its okay now between me and the buildings drug cartel. they won't kill me a least.
Its not always that bad here, and we mostly have normal people living in our cozy building. the rest of the population of prostitutes, drug dealers, what ever lurks in our halls... guess they got to pay the rent too
Seeing the police outside my building and blood spattered all over the front lobby when I came home was just icing to a bazaar day. Not to worry, this happens all over Edmonton cause its out of control here with gangs, drugs and living up to its reputation as being murder capital of Canada...This is what happens when the economy is too good thanks to the oil boom in the province. Boy would I settle for a cabin in the woods in Northern Minnesota right about now... away from this crappy Deadmonton.
P.S. David Larry was at his best! I laughed hard too!
Oh sme the winter blues are here too. I look forward to when I can walk K to school again and enjoy an early morning walk. Or even to Wal Mart that is only about six to eight blocks away from us.
Richard, I have to tell yout this even Sme. When J's big brother was living at home yet he asked if his friend could eat over with the family and his mom said yes. By time dinner was over she realized he was the leader of a gang that her son was in and they didnt have any problems with this particular gang again. The leader watched out for all of them.
My quiet Sunday turned into the girls basically murdering eachother. Just a fustrating weekend here. K had Thursday off for a snow day and then they had Friday off originally and then of course the weekend. Yikes. Well I suppose. Enjoy your week.
HOW did the lobby get blood-splattered?!
A fight, I guess. Two guys were in the back of a police car - no ambulance.
Summerhill Vineyard? Twisted.
It's fun. There are animal heads all over the walls like in the movie, the Pagans wear old-timey peasant clothes, and I even found a Sim who looks vaguely like Christopher Lee...
I love Curb Your Enthusiasm but my wife hates him with a passion. I keep trying to explain to her that you're not supposed to like him. He's an obsessive compulsive nutcase, and you're supposed to laugh at him. But she doesn't see it that way. So I sneak episodes when she's not around.
ZS, there's still hope - I was exactly like your wife at one time. Richard and Aaron would watch Enthusiasm and laugh their heads off, and I'd think, "What an annoying man." Then I sat down and watched an episode. Now I'm hooked. It's full-on laughter therapy.
