I find at night, after a day that seems long, watching my little DVD library of Shakespeare films pulls me through. If I don't do that, I end up watching Mystery Science Theater 3000 and laughing at little robots making fun of dated or poorly done B-movies.
I guess it's odd that my break from working on the rules of writing and the aspects of story-telling is watching great examples of English drama and comedy or laughing at a from of creative criticism. Of course, sometimes I have my adult beverage in hand, but I think this is my true unwinding therapy.
So, a question for you, or maybe you can use it with your students... "What's your therapy after a long, terrible, no-good, bad day?"
I tend to watch back to back episodes of Boston Legal until I find life funny again. Adult beverages often speed that along as well. :) Oh, and Facebook. Always Facebook.
