Casual Friday: The Blog Turns 100! And SPECIAL REPORT on the Roxie

Here's a photo of the blog today. From Trustar Vibrations.

Yay! Today the blog turns 100! Well, not 100 YEARS old, but 100 POSTS. Yes, this is my 100th post here, and I intend to use it in the laziest way possible.

If you don't want to be as lazy as me, go to San Francisco tomorrow. Why? Because you can see a "sneak-preview" screening of the documentary HAPPY at the Roxie Theater at 7:00 pm. Director Roko Belic will be there, and so will Melissa Moody, one of the people featured in the movie. They will hold a Q&A session after the film.

Tickets are $10, or $6 for seniors. You can order online or see more info at the Roxie website. You can also pay at the box office. As this is a non-profit, fully independent film, proceeds go toward a proper theatrical release (expensive costs borne by a movie studio or distributor on most films).

Remember:  Tomorrow, February 19, 7 pm, at this address:

Roxie Theater
3117 16th Street
San Francisco, CA 94110
(415) 863-1087

Hope you can make it!

Happiness is Six Hours of Sleep, a Quick Commute, Two Hours Playtime...

Are you as organized as these cats? Then you might like to try
the Daily Record's happiness schedule. From Music Juice.

Today the Daily Record of Scotland reports on a very specific recipe for happiness. Apparently most happy people get six hours and 15 minutes of uninterrupted sleep per night, have a 20-minute commute to and from work, enjoy five cooked meals per week, and get home at 5:42 pm. The data comes from a survey of 4,000 adults.

Of course these results are correlational, so we don't know if this schedule makes people happier, or if happy people just happen to follow this schedule. To test causation, someone would need to ask volunteers to follow the schedule while testing happiness before and after.

You can read the article for the full list. It has 17 items on it and gets very specific. I don't know if it can be put into practice, but you're welcome to try if you want.
