(Has anyone else noticed that I tend to do random music memes when I'm procrastinating on writing a post of substance, e.g. a writeup of our vacation in France?)
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 question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool..
Many of these turned out pretty amusingly appropriate.
