I say that if you want to be cheered up, plop in a Bugs Bunny Video..you can't go wrong with Bugs!

Good one, Joker! Bugs is a classic, so are Looney Tunes in general.

Jansson'sTemptation ruric March 1 2011, 17:34:03 UTC
Jansson's Temptation is a dish I picked up from a chef called Tom Vernon who had a TV prog in the UK years ago called Fat Man In the Kitchen.

Ingredients:

8-10 baking potatoes cut into chips (2ins long and 1/4 ins thick)
1 large spanish onion sliced
20 anchovy fillets drained and cut into half inch lengths
3oz butter
1/2 pint of single or double cream
2ox breadcrumbs

Preheat oven to 200 degrees C (400 F), Butter a pie dish. Alternate layers of onions, anchovies, dabs of butter, potatoes ending with a layer of potatoes. Pout juice from anchovy tins and half the cream ovr the top. Top off with toasted breadcrumbs are more dabs of butter.

Cook for 35 mins, add the rest of the cream and cook for 10 ore minutes.

Eat.

Reheat leftovers the next day for something which is as close to breakfast (lunch or dinner) of the gods as you can get.

YUM!

So fabulous! All done in one continuous take, which I find absolutely mind-boggling. (Hopping back and forth over the rails would've done me in!) Wonder how many weeks they rehearsed and how make takes it took?

And I adore that dress Ginger is wearing. Very simple, but with such wonderful movement!

"Backwards and in high heels"... I have such a crush on Ginger right now.

But my go-to video for a dreary day is always the Antwerp train station: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EYAUazLI9k

At University I listened to the cure's Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me Album so often, and it is a pretty depressing album, not really happy songs, but I think Mr. Smith is a genius in a way, b/c the last song, while maybe not lyrically the best on the Album, always pulled me out of any funk ( ... )

Gotta love an 80's hair band with the cheesy vids.. oh how I miss those days.. it all about the hot licks and the puffy hair.

Here is a link to a You Tub vid of the Cure - I have no idea how to even try to embed a vid.. *hangs head in shame*

Rowan Atkinson & John Cleese, circa 1980 - one of the funniest things I've ever seen:
