I've got four gigs to work with, and I've only filled one.
If you were in my position, and you were putting music onto the iPod of someone who listens to a lot of popular music and barely anything that doesn't make it onto top 40 radio, what would you absolutely HAVE to put on there? I'm trying to introduce her to bands and songs that are faaaabulous that she's probably never heard of. (I'm trying not to go TOO far out, though. I already threatened her with Indian dance music and she was like, "Yeah, I won't be listening to that." So I restrained myself to just one song. ;))
****
Oh, man, why have I not gone to sleep just yet?
Oh, right, because every channel is showing a marathon of something for New Year's. One of these days one of these channels will just show a marathon of marathon footage and I'll shriek, "Oh, man, this is my THESIS!", get up out of my butterfly chair, and collapse to the floor thanks to my atrophied calf muscles.
Have I mentioned that I am a golden god at this couch potato thing? 'Cause I totally am. Mmm-hmm.
