I first heard of the video when several celebrity twitter accounts listed it as the “funniest video ever.” So I watched it and it…was a bit of a letdown. It’s definitely awkward, but it wasn’t my brand of humour. I couldn’t tell if I was laughing with the person as he acts incredibly elated at the “double rainbow” or if I’m laughing at the person because it’s just a friggin’ rainbow. I’m probably grossly missing the point somewhere, but I just don’t find it to be funny at all!
I did, however, find the auto-tune remix to be much more enjoyable than the original.
I’ve been neglecting this blog so I figured I’d make up for a month of lost time by posting something every day. These posts won’t be that long but you’ll get one every day (perhaps two a day if I feel up to it). So brace yourself!
Redford is a Moron
About a month back I went to Casino Niagara with my mom. My dad and sister were on the Maid of the Mist, and I didn’t want to join them because I went two weeks earlier with my cousin. I guess my mom didn’t want to leave me alone in Niagara so she took me to the casino to sit around and play some slots. You know, casinos are pretty depressing places to be. I never seem to be there when people are having a crazy good time, but then again, maybe it’s only like that in Vegas. Casino Niagara (as with Fallsview and Casino Rama) made me depressed. I don’t remember seeing any of the patrons smiling, and none of them looked like they were having fun!
But the one good thing about casinos is that you get free coffee, hot chocolate, or pop. At Fallsview you can just order at the bar, but in Casino Niagara they have a self-serve section in the corner. I was fairly exhausted on the day that I went to Niagara because I had been volunteering the day before, so I was downing coffees and pop the whole day. So I go over to the coffee and pop machines and pick up a plastic cup. There were plastic cups and paper cups, but I just grabbed whatever was closest to me. I reach over and go for the coke, but then I paused, and said “you know, I could really use a coffee right now” (only I didn’t say this out loud because that would be mental), and turned to my left and went for the coffee instead. I press the button for two teaspoons of cream, then I press the button for coffee. I held my cup underneath the dispenser but didn’t feel the cup get any heavier. I was quite puzzled, and as I looked down I realized that my cup had melted away because the plastic cups were for the cold drinks, not the coffee. Whoops. I quickly move the cup out of the way because I didn’t want to burn my hand, but, unfortunately, moved my hand under the stream of hot coffee in the process and burned my hand anyway.
While cursing up a storm under my breath I went back to the pop machine and started pressing for ice to put on my left hand. I pressed the button and grabbed a handful with my right hand and started pressing it hard against the back of my left. Instant relief. It was right there that I turned around and saw a couple of old ladies looking at me wondering what the hell I was doing with spilled coffee, and a half melted cup on the counter, holding some ice to my hand (while dropping more ice and making a mess on the floor). I didn’t realize I was holding up a line. The only thing I could do was smile and walk away. I don’t know what drinks they wanted from that place but they turned around and went to the bar to order it instead. I’m an idiot.
