Curling

Something else that makes me happy, I realized, is ridiculousness. Yesterday at the gym, one of the may tvs was tuned to some sports channel, and they were showing, of all things, curling. I tend to forget about curling, until the winter olympics roll around and I can't tear myself away from all that furious ice-sweeping. But yesterday, thanks to my return to the gym, I was reunited with this silliest of silly games. I just get such a kick out of it. I love the way everyone's so quiet and focused, and then they shout things out to each other like HARD!! and the sweepers sweep even faster! And I love that I have no idea what's going on. I mean, I get the basics, but there's got to be some nuances I'm not catching on to, right? Right? Here's a fun clip. Made even funner by the fact that one of the commentators is Scottish. What could be better? Doesn't that make you happy too?
