I think I've mentioned it before, but one of my favorite moments from The Ellen Show is in the episode where Catherine comes in upset about *something* and Dot (Cloris Leachman) leans over and says, in her cheeriest voice, "Maybe you're just depressed!" It's a mantra I use actually. I once wrote an essay using it as my lead-off. I wanted to embed the clip here, but it took longer than 10-seconds to find, so I gave up.
Yesterday, I thought maybe I was depressed. I didn't want to do a damn thing. The internet was on the fritz, and not just because of the SOPA and PIPA blackouts. It was a router issue that I was too lazy to deal with. And by deal with I mean unplug, count to 30, and plug back in. So I checked my email on my phone, and then laid around all the live-long day. I would start to drift off to sleep and I would hear Cloris Leachman say "Maybe you're just depressed!" Then I would chuckle and it would all be OK.
There is also a bit about button-eyes on muffins. It's delightful. I don't even remember what I was depressed about.
