Today was a free day and I spent most of it being a pleasant hermit. Played around with Disney mashups with my cousin, who's staying with us for a while, and we found a way to sing Second Star To The Right and I See The Light TOGETHER. Simultaneously. With the same chords, and it doesn't even sound weird, it sounds freaking amazing.
Then went out on a whim, and came back with sea salt chips, almond pocky crush, maple syrup caramel corns, Picola sticks, Quattro cookies and spicy tomato flavored roller coasters! Which sucked. The snacks are not to help me study, I just thought, in a stroke of the most random kind of inspiration, that snacks might help me tone down my brain's negative affective style by feeding it more positive experiences. Something I learned from the very verbose Happiness Hypothesis, of which I swear this latest chapter on gratification and vengeance is an ode to fifty years of trashy pop psychology:
Reciprocity is like a magic wand that can clear your way through the jungle of social life. Reciprocity is an all-purpose relationship tonic. Used properly, it strengthens, lengthens and rejuvenates social ties.
I found the piano shaped mousepad I liked, which is ironic tribute to the fact that I missed the registration deadline for my ABRSM exam by a few hours. Happier was I when cousin came home with a box of glazed Krispy Kremes, now I can go to bed forgiving the universe.
