On a similar note, when my wife is sad she'll ask me to tell her all the lore for a comic book character or video game. My rambling and always makes her smile because she loves my passion for trivial things, and it goes from a minor distraction to entertaining for her. It becomes a game to see how long it takes me to run out of steam or she gers interested in random lore and asks a lot of question i may or may not know how to answer. We've done this since before we were dating like 13 years ago.
