i've been in a fucking great mood lately. so good that i feel ok stealing a line from from of all people, Vladamir Putin, ex-KGB chief, now the President of Russia. He's a seemingly dour man, and while being interviewed by a young female American journalist who was probably just a little intimidated, he had the following exchange:

Putin: Hello.
Journalist: Hello, Mr. President
Putin (nods).
Journalist (gulping): How are you doing sir?
Putin: do you want to know the truth?
Journalist (hesitantly): yes?
Putin (leaning in): I'm doing fantastic.
And then he winked.

I don't know what it is: the weather, the anti-depressants kicking in, a lot of fun stuff going on, or what, but i've been on a 3 or 4 week good mood.

yeeeehaaah!
