5 Things on your computer to bring cheer to your spirits during this rainy season.
- New Girl
Have you met Jess? In its second season, New Girl, starring Zooey Deschanel (that cute female from 500 Days of Summer you had a crush on once) as Jess has become my favourite thing to watch while eating dinner. Episodes are only 22 minutes long and in that short amount of time they are firmly packed with enough funny jokes to turn my frown upside down. In addition, Hannah Simone who plays Zooey Deschanel’s bff went to UBC, fun fact!
- Jessi Cruikshank’s Twitter account
Step one: go to twitter.com/jessimtv
Step two: look at all the funny pictures and messages she tweets regular
Step three: laugh out loud
Samples:
“@JESSIMTV Where do ‘BEFORE’ pictures come from? At what point do you decide to take a picture of yourself fat and frowning in your underpants?”
“@JESSIMTV Uma Thurman’s baby’s name is ‘Rosalind Arusha Arkadina Altalune Florence Thurman-Busson’. Still better than Cruickshank.”
Another fun fact, Jessi is from Vancouver. Holla.
- TED Talks
Watching a TED Talk always seems to brighten my rainy day. Here are some of my favourites:

The $8 billion iPod: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZadCj8O1-0
Sarah Kay’s “If I should have a daughter” slam poem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0snNB1yS3IE&feature=relmfu

Enough to keep you distracted for the rest of your life. Link: http://thedailywhat.tumblr.com/
- The Onion
Basically, a bunch of really clever comedians get together and mock the world as a fake news source and call it The Onion. Here are some of my favourite tweets from their account recently (@TheOnion)

“@TheOnion Kids Menu Just Appetizers | For More Local News:http://onion.com/W4qXlB “
