A Stage I Can Only Hope Will Pass Quickly

This is A’s newest “thing.” My brother-in-law (bless his - ahem - soul) loaned A this DVD. It’s all computer-animated music, and frankly I can’t stand it. When he’s got it on, I feel like I’m living in a video game. But he’s worked out this great setup in his bedroom: he puts the DVD on his computer, then uses two mallets made out of Tinkertoys to beat the hell out of his pillows. He’s got it down pretty well, I must admit. He plays right along with the little animated robot-things, in perfect time. And when they’re playing with only one stick, he plays with only one stick. I suppose it’s impressive if you can get past the sheer annoyance of it.
