Jen had a fun game on her site. “Step 1: Open your mp3 player. Step 2: Put all of your music on random. Step 3: List the first ten songs it plays, no matter how embarrassing.” So here we go!
Dixie Chicks, “Sin Wagon”
Matchbox Twenty, “Crutch”
“Poor, Poor Joseph” from Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
John Butler Trio, “Don’t Understand”
3 Doors Down, “Be Like That”
“The Heat is on in Saigon”, from Miss Saigon
Box Car Racer, “There Is”
Harry Connick Jr, “It’s Time”
Angie Aparo, “Whatever We Become”
“Light My Candle” from Rent
That’s fun. I think I’ll do 10 more.
“Into the LEM” from the Apollo 13 soundtrack
Damesviolet, “Someday”
“Enchantment Passing Through” from Aida
Backstreet Boys, “Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely” (eek!)
U2, “Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses”
Sister Hazel, “Concede”
Fastball, “Vampires”
“Angel of Music” from Phantom of the Opera
“On This Night of a Thousand Dreams” from Evita
Billy Joel, “Big Shot”
They Might Be Giants, “Women and Men”
Interesting. That’s the first 20 random songs out of 2200 stored on my iPod. Random is weird. A lot of the musical soundtracks I have got queued up, but not a single one of the almost 100 classical songs I have on there. And nothing from the eight Counting Crows albums or six John Mayer albums. Weird.
Anyway. Last night we went out for Becca’s birthday (which is actually today, but the birthday girl has to study for a test tomorrow, how much does that suck?). We went to this place called the Mockingbird Bistro, down a side street among a bunch of condos. Very hidden away. It was expensive, but yummy (I had salmon and rice and the best spinach ever, oh, and delicious calimari), and fun. Not to mention that the waiter was really cute. Also, he called all the females “the lady.” As in, “is the lady finished with her plate?” and “would the lady like more wine?” There was even someone who pulled out my chair for me, and put my napkin in my lap. It was entertaining. I think I need to go to fancy restaurants more often just so that I’m not caught so off guard when I find myself in one.
In other news, Cari and friends went out and bought bikinis for the first time ever in preparation for their upcoming trip to…Tunisia. As Becca asked her, “You bought bikinis to wear in a Muslim country??? Great choice of a country to begin wearing skimpy clothes!” Yes, this does not seem like the best idea. Cari, please don’t get spat upon, or hissed at, or stoned.
It has been an interesting morning. I have been offended, attacked by snot, asked to write up part of a document that someone else should probably write, and eaten a brownie. Mmm, brownie. I have a lot to do in the next couple weeks at work, for a change, and I’m not sure where to start. I need to make a list, and sort out the priorities.
