Advice on Laughter from Chocolate

I’m going to finish up the continuous birth control series posts this week. I haven’t forgotten!
But first, I want to share some laughs, in a way.
I eat Dove Dark Chocolate Promises sometimes. That’s not funny. But my wrapper today said, “Laugh uncontrollably. It clears the mind.”
That’s not funny either. But laughter is good for you. Really, it helps relieve stress.
So, I want to share what made me laugh last week: Ghost Town with Ricky Gervais, Tea Leoni, Greg Kinnear and Kristen Wigg.
The movie was just released on DVD December 28. If you go to the Ghost Town site, you’ll see a short clip.
Oddly, Ghost Town is one of the few romantic comedies that doesn’t have any kissing. Either Gervais doesn’t see himself as sexy enough to kiss in a film, or he just didn’t want to. Either way, the movie works. And it will make you laugh.
Try it out for your next rental, and come back here to tell if it worked. I don’t want to give away too much if you haven’t seen it. You know, how the TV Guide Channel gave away the ending to season 2 of Mad Men recently. I was planning on renting the season after its release. I don’t have fancy cable. But I guess I learned my lesson. Next time, I’ll check the schedule online rather than turning on the TV.
Ok, now go do something that makes you laugh!
