La La Land June Gloom The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow
10 Jun
An Excerpt from the humor book The Misery Manifesto
The Sun Will Come Out Tomorow?
In the United States, as in most of the sad world, you have weather. You have a variety of weather patterns and temperature changes, as well as four seasons. This isn’t the case in coastal Southern California. As you know, we’re special.
In Los Angeles, we have consistently perfect weather — sunny with temperatures in the seventies. It’s a truly reasonable climate that only the most miserable among us (usually transplanted New Yorkers) find unacceptable. These are the cranks who complain about unending sunshine and clear skies as if it’s a bad thing. “I miss the seasons,” they whine.
However, even for the easy to please, there is an ugly shoofly in The Endless Summer of SoCal . . . and that is the infamous “June Gloom.”
JUNE GLOOM
According to Wikipedia (who else?), June Gloom is “a weather pattern that results in cloudy, overcast skies with cool temperatures during the late spring and early summer, most commonly in the month of June.” (This is why it’s not called February Gloom.)
“Low-altitude stratus clouds are formed over the ocean, then transported over the coastal regions by the wind.”
Translation: June Gloom is a month-long period of fog and drizzle up the yahoo where you feel like an abuse victim in a never-ending Bergman movie. I call it “50 Shades of L.A. Gray.”
June Gloom should be a bona fide mental disorder ordained by the American Psychiatric Association. It’s Los Angeles’s version of a seasonal affective disorder.

Hello: Eleven Reasons Why
17 Feb
Hello
So much email, so many phone calls, too many texts… too little time.
So Why Haven’t I Returned Your Emails, Calls, and Texts in 5 Weeks?
Hello! It’s challenging to muster the same sense of urgency to email, call, text responses than I have for, say, attending a family funeral or watching The Tennis Channel.
I know you understand ’cause you haven’t returned my emails, calls, texts either 🙂 […]

Alarm Clocks are Evil and Sleep is Divine
4 Jan
I hate alarm clocks, even the cute one on my iPhone.
They are about as comforting as jackhammers and leg cramps – and almost as jarring as a bugle blast in the face.
Good Morning Sunshine!
Must greeting the new day become a cortisol-pumping emergency? […]
