Sometimes when I pass a random книжарница.

I wander in and hand them one of my remaining Pilot Precise V5s and ask if they have anything like it. And they always няма.

This fills my soul with dread for the upcoming months. Luckily E is going to send me some after I pay him back in awesome books.

My Dad just farted as I was walking down the stairs, and instead of ignoring it or laughing about it, I stood there for a moment and thought about the noise…

“Wait.  What did that sound like…”

My brain knew I had heard that sound before, and now it just had to find it in the archives.  After twenty seconds of digging through a giant pile of old disconnected synapses, I finally conjured up a hypothesis.

“…Kind of sounds like a boss punch from the Nintendo Punch-Out.”

And of course, moments later I realized: computers are crazy.* I could just find that sound on a youtube video.

...Yup.  I was spot on.  My Dad actually had a crazy fart that sounded exactly like Super Macho Man’s punches in this video.

I’ve been playing these sound matching games for most of my life, I guess.  I used to never practice the piano before my lessons, and every week I would get through the lesson well enough, that it would convince my teacher that I did practice.  However, all I ever did was ask her to play before me or play the song on a CD, and then I would just slowly copy her or the music by “playing by ear.”  (Man.  Now that I think of it, it’s actually astonishing that I got so good at the piano for how little I practiced haha.)

And still, every once in a while, when I hear a distinct sound of a buzz, whistle, hammering, train, etc., I guess a song that matches that same pitch or beat.  Then, I would check it on my computer moments later and most of the time, I would hear the exact same pitch or sound.  It’s my favorite, weird, pitch-listening game. 

*Computers Are Crazy is the name of a new project that my friend, Sean Whiteman, is starting.  I just got a small stack of old, green-lined, computer printing paper in the mail, and my Pilot Precise V5 pens are about to get all up on it.
