TOP FIVE
Ways to Come Down
From Your 4th
of July Bender
LDI's weekly list of what's hot, what's not, and what's what.
We’re all patriots now that Obama’s in office (right?), and, barring corporate injustice, we all had a 3-day weekend! That means an overdose of hot dogs, sparklers, and booze. What to do when it all comes to a screeching halt on Monday afternoon and the workday looms large around the corner?
1. Cry It Out
Nothing releases toxins like a good cry. If a classic tearjerker like Kramer vs. Kramer doesn’t do the trick, try re-watching Obama’s acceptance speech - this one’s both patriotic and a guaranteed cry-fest.
2. Call Everyone in Your Phone
Aunt Sue not picking up? How about your freshman year college roommate who’s been MIA since she joined the Peace Corps? Nothing cures massive hangover/end-of-3-day-holiday-weekend depression like talking it out with the first person who answers their phone.
3. Start Planning Halloween
Obviously there are zero holidays remaining this summer that you can really get behind. Labor Day? I guess that meant something before 90% of us became officially unemployed. Columbus Day? Ha! That guy was a rapist! So the winner is clearly Halloween. Start corralling your friends for another “genius” group costume idea, keeping in mind that Smurfs and the Village People are always overdone...
4. Set Off More Fireworks
Be that guy who won’t let go. Set off loud fireworks on Monday night so that all the neurotic dogs in your neighborhood can continue to shake uncontrollably, believing that the end of the world is near. Sidenote to owners of neurotic dogs - it’s a day late and a dollar short, but check this website out. You may want to invest in an "anxiety wrap" for next year’s 4th.
5. Watch the Bachelorette on ABC
Seriously guys, no one needs to be ashamed about watching the Exotic Dates episode. No one.
