Don't Fall in Love with the Reaper

Should playlists be mainly around a lyrical, musical, or rhythmic theme?  I hope not.  Because most of my playlists are based around stupid concepts that have very little to do with the actual music.  Sometime I will outline some of these for you (so you can also have dumb playlists and so you can give me more ideas for mine).  But I have to skip that for now to get to the point.

I was mucking around in my iTunes today and it just so happened that two songs with the same name appeared next to each other.  This inspired my latest and possibly most worthless playlist ever which I have called "Same Songs."  I just spent about 30 minutes scrolling through my entire library sorted by song name to find ones with the same name.  As I was scanning that long list, Kenny Rogers' duet with Kim Carnes "Don't Fall in Love with a Dreamer" appeared right above Blue Oyster Cult's "Don't Fear the Reaper" and then about 4 seconds later I found myself absentmindedly singing the melody to the Kenny Rogers' song with the lyrics "Don't fall in love with the reaper..."

This gives me all sorts of ideas for what Valentines I'll send out next month!  Because Lord knows I can't reuse this one of Chris Benoit!

Slamball and Kitties

Oops, I have been majorly out of pocket.  I went to Texas for a week, then returned to Seattle and had company arrive the very next day.  Therefore my internet time has been scarce so I haven't written for a while.  I had lots of good stories, but most of them would be best with pictures so I'll hang on to them a bit longer until I can get myself organized.

Until then, I will share this little memory nugget from my sister:

"Remember that time at my apartment when you came over to watch Slamball and the cats were on the patio and you got up, filled your glass w/ water and poured it directly on black kitty and black kitty was so freaked out and he jumped up and started running and ran into your leg.  Remember that?"

No, I had quite forgotten about that.  Thanks, Staci!

I'm off to Vancouver tomorrow with my friend Jenni, then expect a full report on Texas, New Year's, my new shoes, and Canada when I return!
