I've been listening to "My Top Rated" playlist on iTunes on shuffle for the past few days while working on my paper (or during downtime between...I often get too distracted by music).

Some of these songs I haven't heard in quite a long time, and it makes me really happy.

I forgot how much I love the following albums:
Guster - Keep It Together
Anna Nalick - Wreck of the Day
Jason Mraz - Mr. A-Z
Sarah McLachlan - Mirrorball
Alanis - all of them. They rock, she rocks, I love her and she needs to come out with something new NOW!

Also, I've been listening to Corinne Bailey Rae in the car (which is really an excellent album), and I haven't done that since last winter-ish, so it puts me in a winter mood (my mind is big on song association). Not a regular winter mood, though...a Florida winter. When I can roll down the windows and get Starbucks hot coffee. But I can't wear scarves, because it's just too hot and your neck ends up sweating and you start to suffocate.


I think at some point, I'll make a list of my all-time, top 25(-ish), favorite/best songs. There are 67 songs that have 5-star ratings, though only about 1250 of my songs are loaded on this computer. I decided to only transfer the best-of-the-best, and the most recent albums...stuff I'd listen to on a regular basis. Not too many older albums made it on here, unless it's an artist I still listen to frequently (like Alanis or Barenaked Ladies).

In other awesome news, Colleen brought home food from Don Pablo's (where she works) for me and Jane. It was so good.

And I was going to get back to work, because I had taken a pretty long break, but Anthony from next door is over, so I might be social for a little bit longer before I plunge into another couple hours of work before bed.
