Music

I think I may have a cold. I don't *want* a cold, but it reinforces my plan to spend the whole weekend resting and puttering around my house.

Used to be I couldn't do the randomize-your-music-player memes, because I had a stack of CDs that weren't on a music player, but now I have my own personal jukebox, so I stole this from micheinnz:

Put your music player on random.
Post the first line from the first 32 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Let everyone guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Cross out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!

(I'm also leaving out the ones that have the song title as the first line -- too easy.)

( I took 'first line' to mean first coherent clause, unless there wasn't one. :-) And I may have gotten some wrong. )

State of the serene

Just a few quick notes:

1) I am so busy that I'm not posting, and I guess that's a good thing. But I had a lovely two weeks of birthday goodness, and I love love love LOVE my job. I've been there two months now, and it just keeps being great, and they keep loving me, and I could keep writing this sentence on and on and on. :-)

2) The amount of stress that has been reduced by cutting out most of my work for the webcommerce company is huge. Sad, though, because I really love the company and the people (literally love them -- my co-workers are all family members). But I was poorly suited to the job, and I don't do well when I am bad at stuff. It sucks my soul out. So now I'm sticking to the part I'm good at, making 10% of what I was making there, and getting some of my soul back. :-)

3) wtfpotatoes has been here fifteen weeks, and I love having her here. It's a BIG adjustment having three people here, but it gives me so much joy to give her a happy, stable home to live in. I wish she hadn't had to leave her home and her friends, but I'm glad I get to be here for her, and I'm glad to get this time with her.

Sreevay redux

I may spend the rest of the day alternating between doing a little housework and answering LJ surveys. You've been warned.

This one, which I ganked from mamagotcha, has actual meaty content, though I suspect it was written by someone who's a little young and titillated by the ooh-scary-controversial! nature of asking about things like abortion.

( The 'controversial' survey -- I stole several of mamagotcha's answers )

Boneheads on parade.

Asked on KTRS Radio in St. Louis whether she thinks Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin "has the experience to run a major company, like Hewlett-Packard," Fiorina[*] answered directly.

"No, I don't," Fiorina responded. "But you know what? That's not what she's running for."

Thanks to someotherguy for the link.
