Hello all!
I hope everyone is doing well, my life a little crazy right now...2012 is kinda kicking my butt. Lots of medical issues with friends and family and we all need prayers.
Now for something completely different!
So, our washing machine was making a heinous noise while washing our clothes. It literally sounded like a tank was tromping around inside the metal cyllinder where the clothes are. It was worse than nails on a chalkboard trust me. So my parents decided it was time for a new washer and dryer! They are Samsung and quite amazing.
There are all different kinds of settings on them, and they are front loading and very sleek. Then...I was washing clothes with my mom and getting the low-down on how the new machines work. When either the washer or the dryer complete a cycle, a little tune is played to announce it's conclusion. It's like the cadenza of the clothes symphony.
When electronics play songs with various beepy-type notes, you tend to think it will be a song everyone will recognize. Normally it's something like, "The Entertainer," or Vivaldi's "Spring," or Mozart...nope. When our washer and dryer finish washing and drying they play, "Die Forelle" composed by Schubert. Of all the songs in the world to parody WHY THAT ONE? Okay it's about a fish and you use water wash your clothes...but that's really it. Seriously.
Also in light of recent media...this is TERRIFYING! I was just sitting there near the washer and dryer and all of the sudden the melody of "Die Forelle" assaults my ears. My Mom casually says, "Dad and I couldn't quite place this song, do you know what it is?" I did know..., "OMG this is terrifying! This is horrible....Mommy this is the song that Moriarty tortures Sherlock Holmes to in Game of Shadows! You know the scene where he gets strung up on a hook and Moriarty starts playing the record?! THIS IS THAT SONG!!!! AHHHHH!!!!"
My Mom's only reply was, "Only you would remember that."
Seriously though y'all...Moriarty is torturing our clothes. If you don't believe me, listen to this:

God does things to make me secretly smile some of the time, and this is one of those times. What are the odds? I mean....really?!
I usually name everything in my life. For instance my blind cane's name is Sherlock, my purse is named Luna, my washer's name is Professor, and my dryer's name is Moriarty....
