Life Soundtrack Meme
Ganked from sabotabby who got it from.

IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?
So, here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every "scene", type the song that's playing. Comment on its hermetic relationship to whatever the scene is.
5. When you go to a new scene, press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool...

Hm. Interesting, not least for the amount of Devo that shows up in this random selection - five out of 17, on an MP3 player with over 1,000 items on it. Is it possible for a "shuffle" to be broken, or am I just paying too much attention?

OTHERWISE

Well, a pretty good long Easter weekend, even though it rained for two of the four days. I got some cheap fir 2x10s and gave them a double coating of linseed oil, to make 5x3 foot raised beds for my garden this year. If it hadn't rained on Monday I would have gotten it done. Anyway, it's not too late for next weekend. Going to plant spinach, snow peas, radishes, green onions, cucumbers and soybeans this year, among others.

Made some notes for my Cyprus project. Cooked and organized stuff. Did my and Lianne's taxes.

Falling In Love:
Soundtrack to Godzilla, "Godzilla's Rampage"

So very perfect.

And Monkey's Gone to Heaven is a pretty tight funeral song.

Yeah, I thought a few of these eerily appropriate.

I was going to comment on the falling in love song too...pretty rad!

Yes, a good random choice - the mood of the piece is slow, threatening, implacable and ultimately destructive.
