Last night I had a dream that I was on Atlantis. Well actually I was in a puddlejumper and it landed on the water like some kind of motorboat. Only when it landed, we were on earth in the middle of a water-skiing competition. I was then taken to the shore; however, the ocean turned out to be a very large swimming pool. The motorboats were gone and it was in fact just a very classy, high-end swimming pool. It was really deep probably 10-15 feet, but had tapered ledges as it dropped off and got deeper. It was crystal clear too. And I was there with someone who was supposed to be my dad, some friends, and my not BFF John Mayer who looked like a scruffy Orlando Bloom. He was kind of emo and was writing some songs. Yes, while swimming in the swimming pool. Obviously this all makes perfect sense!
I have solved my Napster conundrum. I was listening to some Pandora hardcore last night. By hardcore, I mean I was listening the heck out of it, not actually listening to anything hardcore. Unless you consider The Bee Gees, Earth Wind & Fire and Stevie Wonder to be hardcore. We are going with my idea of buying 13 songs a month. I wish I had thought of this idea sooner. My most difficult decision now is going to be deciding on the 13 songs. The first song I was going to buy was Goldspot's Float On. However, I have listened to the 30 second excerpt several times and the song is less then 3 minutes long. So I find myself over-thinking the purchase. It's pathetic really. I can buy things in a heartbeat that might give other people a pause, but a 99 cent song can take days of indecision! I got an I-Tunes gift card for Christmas, something I requested I might add, and I still had that thing in March! Eventually I just spent it all on one album so I could put myself out of the torture of trying to decide on one song. Still. If I had gone with this idea when I first signed up with Napster, I would have quite a music collection. LOL I say that as though my collection now is laughable. It is laughable only for the sheer volume. I was given the task of creating playlists for when we play XBox 360 games. Only I don't even know where to start! I need to start by deleting songs, but that is as easy as buying songs.
I think I'll start by narrowing my search field and giving myself parameters. Such as 2 new songs, 2 classic oldies, 1 techno song, 1 song from a game. Now I'll just drive myself crazy trying to get the proportions right!
I can't explain what I can't explain!

PS I'm also going to get my haircut today. Hopefully.
ETA I don't know if my friends list is familiar with Twilight, but this comic makes me laugh. Reminds me of Snape and His Unicorn which is soooo canon.
