25: "Mr. Lava Lamp"


So, to start the countdown, a very recent memory, and a pretty short and simple one, too.  It all started when my roommate, Josh, received a lava lamp as a gift from his girlfriend, Lizz.  Never having owned a lava lamp, we were all disappointed when - upon plugging it in - the lamp failed to get going.

I promised Josh that while he was gone that night I would leave it plugged in and watch it, and update him via Facebook.  A few hours later, I cam downstairs, and like Frankenstein awaking the monster:

"IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!!!"

Within moments, my roommate Lexi and I were busy staring at the lamp in all it's lava-ey glory.  I turned off the lights to get the full effect, and came up with a great idea: put the lava lamp in human situations, take pictures, and send them randomly to all of my Snapchat contacts.

And with that, the legend of Mr. Lava Lamp was born.

Over the next couple hours, Mr. Lamp:
-cooked
-did laundry
-ate a pizze
-broke his leg
-walked with crutches
-did homework on his laptop
-drank a soda

And then, there were several videos of me imitating the shrimp from Finding Nemo who got all worked up over the bubbles coming out of the treasure chest.

All in all, a great night.  To everyone who was on the receiving end of the chats: a) my sincerest apologies... b) I swear I wasn't drunk, stoned, or held at gunpoint.
