Damn you, Adam Mathes. I've been craving donuts lately, and I managed to avoid picking any up at the store tonight.

Watching Buffy in your underpants while eating homemade mac & cheese. Works every time.

i make awesome (and usually highly alcoholic) concoctions in the blender, take long showers, get my head petted, smoke way too many cigarettes, and hang out with my cat.

I'd go with exercise and donuts.
And booze. It's a short-term solution. Unless it's retail therapy for the booze, in which case the glow lasts that much longer.

fake cocktail parties.
I make myself a cocktail and put on different pairs of shoes, pretending to be different people at the party.

60s romantic comedies and musicals. Episodes of Psych. Tea and cake. Walks in the part when the sun is shining. Other people's kittens. :-) My coffee shop.

comfort food (which extends to visual/aural stimulus)
like...i was in a really shitty mood the other night, and i watched Lost in America. Albert Brooks is a comic genius, and, for a moment, i was inspired to write something...

Exercise, masturbation, go see my friends.
Watching Berserk always cheers me up too.

@MizSarah: I don't like cheese. The mac is fine, but I don't do cheese.

@fuznotfuz: Damn you for posting that. I've been so good lately, and now I want something coated in chocolate and cocoa puffs.

Watching Dead Like Me or House.
Sometimes just going out for a walk at night around the city helps.

Staying up late watching new and old movies whilst reading escapist fiction usually does the trick. If something more drastic is required, I'll get out of the house and hang out with my friends. This usually involves grilling something.
I feel like I'm busy ALL THE TIME, so I've spent today swimming, lounging in bed, and watching 14-year-old Britcoms, and I feel fantastically relaxed and rejuvenated.
Exercise, of course, is a family favorite, since it pumps up one's endorphins. Swimming is my absolute best exercise for curing a funk, since it seems impossible to be unhappy when one is in the water (unless, of course, one is stranded at sea).
And let's not forget RETAIL THERAPY! Nothing quite so distracting from a blue day as new THINGS.
