Seasonal Affective Disorder

Things I am depressed about:

• Phillip Seymour Hoffman
• NYC being a slushfest of nastiness
• The amount of sour cream I consumed during the Superbowl
• Wearing ugly boots for the past 18 days straight
• When is Game of Thrones coming back?
• Phillip Seymour Hoffman
• There's not even any movies I want to watch

Are you feeling the same way? Here are some uplifting and vintagey cool gifs from the March on Washington. Because weird things bring me out of a funk and make me (kinda) happy. 

 

 

Only good thing to come out of this polar vortex nonsense

be careful out there on the ice - even penguins fall down

What is a Polar Vortex?

It's cold as hell, that's what. How are all our readers? This polar Vortex was cold enough for Robert Vick, an escaped convict, to turn himself back into authorities. #CTM. Bet he wasn't expecting minus 20 wind chill when he escaped in Lexington, KY the other day.
If you are seriously interested in what a polar vortex is you can read here, but in a nutshell it belongs at the North Pole with Santa and needs to go back home.

Speaking of Santa! What were your favorite gifts of 2013?

what the polar vortex looks like.

watch this guy throw a pot of boiling water into -21 degree air.
