Wednesday 04/11/09

On Thursday morning last week my SAD lamp arrives. On Thursday around 1630 I gather the courage to place it on my desk and turn it on. Later that evening, A Girl, aware of my new experiment, emails me the following chart, where I have to track daily light exposure and daily happiness:



By Tuesday, we are ready to analyse the preliminary results.

Me: Light on

A Girl: Don’t forget to keep your tracker updated

Me: It’s not looking so great, is it?



A Girl: I don’t know if we should be worried about what might happen to you if your happiness line and exposure line were to cross each other, but I am, very worried

Me: I’m scared too. At the moment they appear to have a perfectly negative correlation

A Girl: Why does it not surprise me that this clinically proven form of SAD therapy is resulting in these figures for you?

Me: You are a realist, that’s all

A Girl: Perhaps your lamp has already acknowledged that you are a lost cause and is trying to distance itself from you slowly. I think you may actually be making your SAD lamp depressed

Me: I see

Oh and a propos of begging, please note, the Amazon Wishlist near the bottom of the panel on the right is alive and well

I have one valium left over from when I attempted to have an MRI and there's also a full bottle of Xanax in my sock drawer and some kind of Hydrocodone pills. Would you like me to send them over? I'm not really into drug trafficking but I might make an exception for you or should I just bake you some brownies? Would that make you happy?

The light exposure I get, but how are you measuring happiness?
