Friday Random Ten: The Tony the Tiger Edition

Fire up the iPod, set it to shuffle, and write down the first ten songs that play. No cheating. No skipping forward.

  1. I Can't Help It, Bananarama, Wow!
  2. No Scrubs, TLC, Fanmail
  3. Hold On, Sarah McLachlan, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy
  4. Black Water, The Doobie Brothers, Greatest Hits
  5. Swanee, Judy Garland, Judy at Carnegie Hall
  6. Dim All the Lights, Donna Summer, Endless Summer
  7. Do It the Hard Way, Jazz Renegades, Sounds from the Verve Cafe
  8. Je sais ton nom, Isabelle Boulay, Tout un jour
  9. Big Shot, Billy Joel, Greatest Hits, Vol. 1
  10. Jive Talkin', Bee Gees

I have been waiting for this day for a long time now. Every time they announce a new version of their operating system, I always get excited. It's not that 10.3.9 is flawed, because it works so wonderfully on even my aging iMac. It's the whole "new" factor that sparks my interest. Plus, they have incorporated smart folders into the OS, which function much like smart playlists do in iTunes. That is such a revolutionary idea for file management, I'm almost wet. I can't even tell you how that will change my own way of working! I'm totally thrilled. Really. The Dashboard looks really cool, and while I use Konfabulator and have for a long time now, I think Dashboard will ultimately replace Konfabulator on my computer. We'll see on that one. Now I have to save up my pennies for the dual-2.7 GHz processor G5. Yay.

I've got lots of movies to take care of me this weekend, plus a droolingly scrumptious recipe for brownies that I simply have to make time for.

And just for fun, considering that I really should have been a linguist:
