Yesterday was very cold, but I could work from home and was hoping I wouldn't have to leave the house. Travalon didn't have to work because there was no school due to the cold, so he was home with me, coloring in his Beatles coloring book as I worked. I kept checking to see if the Adoration Chapel had been closed due to the cold, but it hadn't, so I had to go. Travalon decided he would take me, and he had fun hanging out on State Street. I was surprised because there was a loud gathering in the church hall, and then they all went upstairs. It's lovely that events are happening at my church again, but they're never anything that I am privy to.
Today I worked on campus, and not only was it cold, but it was snowing as well. I had to meet the pizza delivery driver to get the food for a meeting that I wasn't part of, but then my colleague didn't want to walk outside, so I took a short walk outside and then got back in time to have some leftover pizza. Fetalicious, my favorite! It has feta and spinach.
Coming home was scary with the falling snow. The shuttle that usually takes half an hour took over forty minutes, and then my drive home was even slower. To my surprise, Travalon had beaten me home even though I caught the shuttle before my usual one. We headed to Mamastep's birthday party at the Nitty Gritty in Sun Prairie, and we sat by the couple we had sat by last year. I got along with the woman so well that she friended me on social media, but we haven't seen them since then. Mamastep said we should all wear crazy hats or crowns, so a lot of the women had tiaras, and one had a very impressive crown. I wore my silver hat that kind of looks like a crown. One woman had what looked like an ancient Egyptian headdress. The men had less interesting hats, if they wore them at all, but Travalon did wear the Croatian sausage baseball hat that Cecil Markovitch had given him. (Cecil and I have matching ones.) We talked about social media reels, like the guy who bakes old recipes and the woman who critiques fashion, and I showed them my latest obsession: Adam Rose doing a duet with a person playing a chord progression. The original video has the letters of the notes being played, and Adam Rose said, "These lyrics really spoke to me, so I had to do a duet." He has a really good voice, but it's the way he interprets the "lyrics" that kills me. Here it is:
Someone pointed out in the comments under the video that this is a stealth Rick Roll, because the chord progression (which is lovely) is from "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley. All I know is that I could watch this video one hundred times and never get sick of it. The lyrics really speak to me too!
I did forget to bring up Philomena Crunk while we were talking about videos. She's my other obsession lately.
