Why would a girl with a bum foot, bum knee, and sore back decide to walk home? (45 minutes)
Retorical Question of the Night
Does (uncooked) rice go bad? If it’s been at least 10 years since you bought it, will it kill you if you cook it now?
(Rhetorical because I’m eating it anyway so we’ll find out.)
Petite French Vanilla Scones. SO YUMMY!
Another fun thing that can shake you out of your listening rut is using other people’s playlists. Take this great little list by Movies of Myself offered up for Valentine’s Day for example. I already owned all those songs, but I might never have listened to them in that order/grouping and hello it starts with the Cars. Come on now, people, you just can’t go wrong starting a mix with the Cars.
All-Time Favorite Cars Song: Drive.
And with that one we’re back in high school again (Hmmm, I would have said junior high but it apparently didn’t come until 1984 so I guess the Cars I was listening to in junior high were earlier albums than that). Holy crapolarolla are we thinking about old times today or what.
One of the joys of the 2008 CD Reorganization Project is rediscovering old tunes, sometimes tunes I never got into but most of the time tunes I loved that never made it onto iTunes (or the iPod) because they were out of the regular listening rotation by the time iTunes/iPods came around…
Last night, going through the “rap/hip hop/etc” piles, I found PM Dawn. PM Dawn!!! (Did you know them?) I loveloveloved those albums, haven’t listened to them in ages…
Unfortunately this discovery was made too close to bedtime to import them into iTunes last night so today I find myself searching the Pod for other oldies but goodies….Guess what I’m listening to right now? The Go-Go’s “Vacation”. Something that made it into iTunes one day when I was working on a “College-ing It Out” playlist, but then started thinking about things that (for me) were High School actually. Oh yeah, baby. This reorg project is bringing all KINDS of stuff to mind. Yay!
A little darker, sometimes lonelier. Still my favorite blend of disco vibe and hip hop beats out there. Not as upbeat as the last album but a few songs that still make me start boppin’ my shoulders and jumpin’ around at my desk. Fave song so far: “Going On” (bounce, bounce, bounce go my hips).
