What does your music say about you?

It's another iPod/mp3 survey/meme:

If someone new were in your car, what song on your player would you be quickest to skip out of embarrassment: Oh...quite possibly something from Don McCloskey - mostly for the language, and the fact that I'd probably be singing along.

What is the longest song on your player? Probably Paradise By The Dashboard Lights by Meatloaf

What do you think is the silliest song on your player? King of Spain by Moxy Frouvus

What did you most recently add to your player? Oh, I think I added some Barry Manilow, Don McCloskey and George Baum (of Lost & Found) piano stuff

What did you most recently delete? A bunch of stuff that I never listen to and never really liked in the first place that I had put on for a former frequent passenger.

What is your favorite song on your player that is from a movie? This Never Happened Before - Paul McCartney, from The Lake House

Is there a song on your player that is only there for someone else’s benefit?
Not anymore....See the one on most recently deleted.

What song or artist do you find yourself skipping most frequently and therefore should probably delete?
There aren't really any right now.

Without cheating, start your player and list the first 10 songs that come up in random play.
Tied Down - Colbie Caillat
SexyBack - Justin Timberlake
Have You - Jordan Knight, yes that Jordan Knight
Come Dance with Me - Joey McIntyre - yes...again, that Joey McIntyre
Don't Tango with the Freakshow - Don McCloskey - no, not the song from the first question
Kiwi - Maroon 5
Home - Michael Buble
Daughters - John Mayer
Rockstar - Nickleback
Sweet Affection - Tom Freund

My Peculiar Furkid

So Norm is quite the dog. He's always been pretty well behaved and only stubborn once in a while. He loves snow, doesn't mind thunderstorms...unless they produce rain. Then we have issues.


It started raining Thursday night at our place and didn't really quit until yesterday morning. And he really hates the rain. As in, he'll walk down the steps, realize it's raining, stop and think a bit and then turn around and go back upstairs. Thankfully, I'd told mom about this once early on and she sent him a rain jacket. He doesn't like to wear the hood, but he will stand at the door and wait for me to get his coat to take him out if it's rainy. Really.

He was a trooper though, with all the rain. He seemed to know that cold rainy days are for snoozing on the couch and watching the Olympics.

Green Eats...

I'm an apartment dweller. I don't really have anywhere to put a garden and besides I've never been much of a gardener - well, at least not until the end of the summer when I was a kid at Grandma & Grandpa's when you actually got to pick things from the garden.

My grandpa was a farmer. Grandpa and Grandma always had "his & hers" gardens when I was a kid. Grandma mostly grew the veggies and stuff in a smaller (relatively speaking) garden on the left side of their drive and Grandpa had a much bigger garden over on the right where he grew potatoes, sweet corn and all sorts of things. The weeding I wasn't much into, but when it was time to go gather the goods, well, that part was fun.

I have been thinking a little more lately though about where the things I eat come from. And then today, I came across this little video...



I'm not really in a place where I can make my own garden now, but I think I'm going to try and find a fun little farmer's market tomorrow morning - especially if it's not raining.

If you blog and have a roaming musical device of some sort - copy and paste into yours, then play along and leave a comment that you did. Good times!

Gotta dance....

This is my favorite You Tube in weeks.
Seriously, funny.
