Get outta my dreams
Get into my car
Get outta my dreams
Get in the back seat baby
Get into my car
Beep beep, yeah
Get outta my mind
Get in to my life
Ooooh, Oh I said
Hey (hey!) You (you!)
Get in to my car.

.you decide.

While walking to the subway
And zoning in and out of my “Oldies” playlist
I [no joke] did the pointy finger dance.

Watch me now.
Hey!
Work.
Work.

A Groovy Kind of Love – Phil Collins (3:28)

Wikipedia says that Collins recorded this song for the film “Buster.”

Trusted – Ben Folds (3:36)

It seems to me if you can’t trust, you can’t be trusted.

what would my ipod do?

It’s been almost one year since I graduated college. And while there are many many things that I definitely do not miss (homework, packing up all my belongings every 9 months, a capella), I sometimes wonder if my brain is getting mushy. You know, like an under-used muscle or a cucumber past its expiration date or a pretty big pile of poo. So one day on the R/W, after a totally brainless day at my entry level 9-5, I used my mushy brain to think about its mushyness and ended up with at least one decent solution. I call this game “what would my ipod do?” and here’s how it works:

Rules:

1. Turn on iPod
2. Play songs in Shuffle Mode
3. Spend an entire day doing things based solely on the randomly selected song
4. Length of the activity/decision should also be inspired by the length of the song
5. No skipping songs. Use your imagination, okay?
6. Game ends when the day ends

For instance, if I followed these rules based on what was playing on my walk to work this morning, my day would probably start off like this:

“Your Song” – Elton John (4:05)
I don’t have much money… = something cheap
Yours are the sweetest eyes I’ve ever seen… = something sweet that starts with the letter “i” or is kinda Asian or both
Activity: Get ice cream from the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory!
Length: 40 min and 50 sec (includes travel time)

“Michael” – Franz Ferdinand (3:21)
Activity: Go to the children’s section of a bookstore and read “The Story of Ferdinand” by Munro Leaf to whomever will listen. Afterwards, quiz the children about the story, but only address them as “Michael” or “Franz.”
Length: 32 min and 10 sec (does not include travel time)

“Goodnight and Go” – Imogen Heap (3:52)
Activity: Steal “Goodnight Moon” by Margaret Wise Brown and go.
Length: 3 min and 52 sec

and so on.
and so forth.
