1. Big Willy style
Just enjoy the pure joy of watching a person dance and properly celebrate that we're living in the Willennium.

Honestly, it's got air conditioning, it's got snacks – what's not to like about living inside the fridge? Suddenly that weird scene in "Joker" makes sense now ...
3. But I just finally learned how to properly spell "Timothée"
I actually got stressed out watching this comedy clip that I was falling behind yet again. The culture, it moves so fast! (Warning: a few profanities)

And I had just learned how to tell Charlie Hunnam and Garrett Hedlund apart.
4. The daily dog(s)
Would you like to see a bunch of happy dogs riding their version of a roller coaster, driven by a charming and delightful 80-year-old man? Do I even have to ask?
This GENTLEMAN cares for stray dogs.ð
Eugene Bostick, an 80-year-old retiree, noticed that people were abandoning their elderly dogs near his his barn in Texas so he took them in, built a train to take them out on excursions and the rest is history!! â¤

Bonus breather
To help you cope with the rest of your day of social distancing and processing the news, here's a little bonus breathing exercise to calm the nerves and provide a little digital therapy.
As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.
When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
