1. So glad we have youtube.com so that this kind of useless creative expression can exist.
2. emum, please don’t email about this post. We don’t care what you say – it’s not a curse word, and it’s the name of the song.
We’re not really an early adopter by nature, we just work with enough people that are that we can kinda fake it (also, we’d like to take this opportunity to thank our company issued white iPhone, white iPad2, and MacBook Pro for making us look like something legit at airport security). So since we’ve discovered something on the early side (unlike iPhones. BTW iPhones are amazing and Seinfeld is hilarious), we have to share (ie, claim it like we did when we signed up for thefacebook.com October ’04)! Are you Spotifying yet? Oh em gee. If you like music, it will change your life. Bummed that you downloaded Rihanna’s “S&M” before the way cooler Britney version came out? Have a random hankering to hear Toto’s “Africa” because you had a fun dance party to it in college? Saw Notting Hill on TBS and want to hear Allison Krause’s “Nothing at All”? Have all these things and more for FREE. FREE. Make playlists and keep them and share with your friends (on thefacebook.com). It’s a random music lovers dream. Mobile app too for $5 a month. Seriously iTunes is so 2011 Q2.
Generally, on my 50 minute ride home from work, I force either Reader emum, g-love, or Mo to listen to all the thoughts that have gone through my head in the 24 hours since our last conversation. Yesterday Reader g-love was the lucky winner, and I casually mentioned that my iPod Genius mixes seemingly don’t go together (Teen Pop, Indie Rock, and Urban Crossover).
However, Reader g-love countered explaining (and I was sort of surprised to hear this) that I was “one part perky / happy / free spirited, one part intelligent / thoughtful, and one part “oh no you de’ent.” Which, as I think about it, is perhaps true…so here is what we want to know. What does you iPod Genius mix say about you?
1. emum asked me what LOL stood for.
2. Both ebrothers are running in a half marathon with me next weekend. Lots of trash talking. Carter asking Robert if there is a “Big and Tall” division.
3. I’ve been listening to this song on repeat for the past 3 weeks. “All my life I’ve been good, but now, ohhhh I’m thinking what the h”
4. I’m obsessed with my Crock Pot.
5. I can’t get enough Brad Womack, and I hate to say it, but even with the horrible dye job, sweet little Emily won me over.
6. I found a new great neighborhood restaurant – Nino’s on Cheshire Bridge. You feel like a mob bust can happen at any second.
And that’s what you’ve missed! On elaney.
Okay, I’ve clearly decided that elaney is not going away. While I was in PR with Readers Melby, Ellie, and Edykes, sunning myself on the oceanic trench located on the boundary between the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean (obviously had to wiki that), I realized that it’s just too fun. So greetings from our trip and expect elaney to return with a new look and feel in the next few weeks.
…circa Y2K when she stocked our attic with 200 gallons of bottled water.
