On You Won't Believe These 3 Amazing Pieces By Erik Satie
All Satie's piano pieces are soothing, delightful, or both. The titles are equally delightful: "I Want You," "Desiccated Embryos," "Sketches and Annoyances of a Fat Wooden Mannequin"...

On Ask Polly: My Best Friend Is In Love With My Sister!
Friendships are fragile, even when your best friend isn't dating your sister or your other best friend. Friends move to different cities or countries, or go to grad school, or get married and start families, and suddenly the distance between you is amplified by time and you can't complete each other's thoughts anymore.
My high school best friend and I were so close, and remained so even several years after graduation. But then life events pulled us in different directions, and we grew apart. I went to her wedding 2 years ago, and even though we live outside the same city about an hour apart, we may not spend much time together before we die.
All this to say, take Polly's advice and cherish your friend (and sister) as much as possible.
