also, wondering when the brunch thread gets created? corporatehippie and i will be attending for sure
Traditionally, Bunny always started it mid-February. Now that custeph has taken the helm, I say we ask her to start it earlier. Brunch talk always pops up in so many threads over the next month, I think it would be good to give it a home
looks like the clemson paw sign has been put in the sky
Anyone else just brimming with productivity at work today?
i'm being very productive, been going through tons of roo bands. oh real work? no , fuck that
I feel like the guy from Office Space this week.
"Yeah, I just stare at my desk; but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch, too. I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work."

There is already a karaoke thread for brunch going on.

I have actually been crazy productive. The Regional Vice President is in town and my publisher was all on edge while I was trying to do a shit-ton of stuff to get ready and that needed to be done.

Does the tanning help? I have SAD too and have mostly been combating it with Vitamin D, but I have a friend who does the tanning bed thing too. Are there downsides to it? Tanning beds have always been a big no-no in my head - skin cancer and all that.
Not that it probably matters, but I start out at 7 minutes and don't go over 10 minutes per session, and I do it like 2-4 times a week for 2-2.5 months a year, so I don't get dark like most people who use tanning beds religiously. It also helps prevent me from getting burned when I do start spending lots and lots of time outdoors in the spring and throughout summer.
But yes, it makes me feel fantastic. It makes it easier for me to motivate to go do other important things like ride bikes and go to the gym when I otherwise would be stuck in bed 90% of the time waiting for the daffodils to bloom.
The only downside I would say is the awkward interactions I have to have with the typical employees and patrons of the tanning salon. That and the troubling fear of skin cancer. I (incorrectly) justify it in my head with the fact that I don't smoke and infrequently drink and I do other good things for my health erryday. But honestly I'm convinced cancer doesn't give a fuck who you are or what you do, if it's going to get you, it's just going to get you; #yolo, don't spend 1/4 of your time with the SADness.
this is good. I've been telling myself the last 2 winters that I should start tanning to battle SAD. granted, I don't think this winter will give me crippling depressive episodes like last year (hai -50 degrees), but I could stand to have a little more pep in my step.
that and I need to go get a god damned gym membership already. I think if I have those 2 things going for me the rest of this winter won't be so bad.
also, agreed with your last statement. I would rather feel happy and energetic day to day than wallowing away under my covers in my bed. well, I'll still do that sometimes, but because I want to. not because I can't not.
buku does kinda excite me - it would mean I could whip out muh dancin' shoes!!
I have a few friends in NOLA who are going. and I could use a trip in march to somewhere warm....
It really depends on what you consider warm. The last two years have been in the 40-50s. It wasn't that warm. I think we were warm the week before, and then a cold front came through.
considering it was about -20 degrees here last week, 50 degrees sounds amazing!! haha

In that case you will love it! Let me know if you come in for real. I have an extra room with an air mattress, but am across the river from Buku... but its a place to crash if needed.

I'm a big advocate of hitting the gym pre-Roo. All those fluffy endorphins usually counter-act whatever sadness/anxiety you're feeling. You also get to be a sexy beast on the farm, and that's always nice. Last year was my most ambitious effort yet, but I'm aiming to top it.
Also, do people actually enjoy tanning? I can't imagine it being very fun, or good for you.

Can we talk about how awesome it is that Wet Hot American Summer is getting a series on Netflix? And all the original people will be playing younger versions of their characters?
On MN love: I don't have a massive boner for doomtree but I would like to at least get Dessa on the farm one year. Also I might invite myself to be your date for FJM if it's not sold out before I can get a ticket smellycat.

Need is such an aggressive word...
Sure it is... and sometimes it is the appropriate word.

uhh duh.
have you watched the dvd with the fart track turned on yet?!

hold up! do you live near here?! (obviously that's a dumb question, but I didn't know!)
FJM is already sold out - but creep on craigslist & stubhub! I always find face value tickets on craigslist if I creep enough. especially for shows that went on sale WAYYYY before their scheduled date.

I'm going to have to now. I don't think I did watch that. I need this in my life.

mustn't be proud enough to list our amazing state. also we should just set up a meet up of all 5-10 of us that are on here!

I feel like this is what is sure to happen when you two meet:

Don't mean to crush your hopes, but I checked - FTJ is sold out (in addition, it is an 18+ show, ugh). I never have an issue getting tickets outside the door from 'enterprising capitalists'.
I've seen Dessa live twice; she has a great backing band. With Atmosphere there, I am thinking it will be more likely to see Lizzo rather than Dessa (this year, at least).

i say we set up a cherub concert with MN people all sleeping together on said uncomfortable couch. i'm going to pass the message creating off to you smellycat

I'm a big advocate of hitting the gym all the time, not just every time the year is new again or summer is coming. And keeping track of progress in a notebook - people know you're a serious motherfucker when you're writing in your little notebook.
And just heading out the door to hit the gym for some endorphins might be easy for some, but I don't drive anymore. When you face the weather every day you harden up, but some days you'll just not want to go anywhere or do anything, which I suppose is natural. Tanning helps me work around that and keep doing what I do all year.
And to answer your question (do people actually enjoy tanning?), please read my post that smellycat quoted.
I'm actually a big gym advocate as well. I get pretty addicted to exercise. I could go on about lifting for days. It's just that in the winter I spend most of my time on the mountain, and in the fall I play a lot of basketball, so I usually only wind up going half of the year. I'm also usually completely broke by the time July rolls around.
And interesting, I could see that. I guess I always thought you spent a lot more time in there. I'd be terrified of what it does to your skin. Skin cancer is absolutely no joke.
also, wondering when the brunch thread gets created? corporatehippie and i will be attending for sure
Traditionally, Bunny always started it mid-February. Now that custeph has taken the helm, I say we ask her to start it earlier. Brunch talk always pops up in so many threads over the next month, I think it would be good to give it a home

Hahahahahahaha, I am just now seeing these! Pretty sure these posts came in right as I was creating the brunch thread. Too funny!!
