A new meme!! Like we all could use another one of them. This one is easy: take your iPod (or other ripoff MP3 player), set it to shuffle (or random play), and write down the first ten songs it plays for you. No cheating. No skipping. No wishing. Just do it. I found this through Melanie and then followed up with Lauren and also Terrance. It seems that no one knows where it started, but whatever.
My list is totally indicative of why I am so in love with my iPod. Where else can I go from the Mamas and the Papas to the Pet Shop Boys via Garbage and Doris Day? Well, OK, maybe that's not such a stretch with me, but I love having every song I own available to me at the click (or scroll) of a button (or wheel)!! Anyway, I've got 5192 songs (14.7 days and 22.19 GB of music), and I'm still not done ripping my CDs. I've got about a dozen left to go, and I'm not even putting all of them on! I love this thing. Why didn't I do this sooner? What a treat!
I don't know if I mentioned it here, and I'm not gonna search for it to verify either, but I love my iPod to tears. I've got me an iTrip attachment that broadcasts my songs in the car, and it works pretty well on the default frequency of 87.9 FM, but every once in a while, another broadcast wipes out my iPod, and I have to wonder who the hell is broadcasting on such an obscure frequency in the Bay Area? But then again, that's about the only channel left to use up here.
OK, happy Friday already. Damn this week took too long!
