One of the funniest things I’ve ever seen is a video on the Internet called Laugher Chain. It’s really as simple as it sounds: it begins with a video of someone laughing, and then someone’s reaction to that video, and someone’s reaction to the reaction video, etc. The first video is of a baby making a most ridiculous gurgling laugh. It’s hard to maintain composure. The second video is of a young man watching the baby laugh; he’s laughing pretty hard, too. The next video? Oh, wow. The man’s laugh is like nothing you’ve ever heard before. I wasn’t sure if it was real until I noticed a related video with the same man in it… and the same laugh!
Last week was one of the more embarrassing weeks since I left my parents house three years ago: my partner and I forgot to cook. Well, it wasn’t so much that we forgot to cook, I suppose. We just forgot to take out food from the freezer. Day after day, we’d smack ourselves on the forehead at our lack of foresight and trot off to buy fast food. You’d think that we’d learn after one, maybe two days of this. We did this for four straight days! When we finally remembered to take out some ground beef and made sloppy joes, we were so proud of ourselves that it was almost sad!
When I left my parents house to live to be closer to the local university, my father made me a promise: if I could cough up half of the cost, he would help me pay for a piano. I’ve played the piano for fifteen years and the prospect of being without one was making me grouchy. He took me to a piano store and we selected a plain-looking upright piano; a grand piano would have been far too large for the small house into which I was moving. Plain as it may be, this piano was well worth the thousand or so dollars that I chipped in. I couldn’t live without my music!
