These are a Few of my Favorite Things

I find beauty in simplicity.  The simple things like getting a good grade, winning the multiple-choice game, and destroying someone in a graded discussion all serve to brighten my life.  But my favorite moment out of a slew of fantastic memories comes from something truly beautiful; Moushumi's mustache.

The internet, unfortunately, has destroyed every single scrap of evidence of this gorgeous, life-changing piece of beauty, so I had to place a replacement picture on the left (which I hope you can see).  Anyway, I had just finished this book which I did not like and only had solace in the knowledge that I had a movie to look forward to.  But, if books usually outrank the movie, then I knew this film was gonna be crap, but, "We live in an age of ideals", so I went along with the hope that I would find marginal entertainment in watching Kumar NOT go to White Castle for some reason.   The film started with the soundtrack of Ms. Serensky snickering away at some hidden knowledge of an impending rite of passage: There would be life before this moment and life afterwards.  After sitting through a great deal of trite nonsense and cries of "Gogol" from Chris (and myself), I heard the resounding cry of "Zounds!" from Shoemaker (I exaggerate a little, but you get the idea).  What could have made him shout so?...Only the oncoming of marvelous destiny in its full pheonix-like form.  I looked up from my copy of All My Sons (OMG I'M AN ACTOR! HEY EVERYONE LOOK HOW WELL READ I AM!) to fully take in the oddest collection of images I have ever witnessed: A strangely pudgy-faced girl with ill-fitting glasses, hair that looked purposefully awful and, to top it all off, a certified grade-a mustachio.  The culmination of emotions in the room rose to a high collective giggle as we all marveled at this quick glance into a parallel universe of horror, but for me, "There's no anger, no joy, no indifference", just pure astonishment at the revelation that I can never truly "un-see" this nightmare...So and that is why I have such fond memories of AP English!
