1976, and I wasn't listening to this...

From amyirene_40, by way of many.

1. Go to this site: Musicoutfitters
2. In the search box in the upper right hand corner, enter the year you graduated from high school.
3. The first item returned should be the top 100 songs from that year. Cut and paste them into your journal.
4. Bold the ones you like, underline your favorite, and strike through the songs you loathe.

( I don't know what's more depressing, the fact that it's almost 30 years since I graduated, or that the music was so crappy... )

Hands of a sturgeon

A few years ago, I bought a jigsaw crab figure from an artist at Wiscon. It's a neat-looking work, but you have to be careful because pieces could easily slide out of place and then you'd be left with a pile of, well, pieces.

So there it was, standing atop a CD container, which in turn sits atop my file cabinet in my office. This cabinet is pretty firmly ensconced in a corner, hard by a bookcase. Nothing is going to be moving anytime soon.

So I'm hunting for my Cowboy Junkies CD with "Common Disaster", and check that particular CD case...which won't open and won't open...

...until I pull the door and it slams down, the shock of which sends the crab figure over backwards. Imagine the sound of the various pieces as they fly apart, bouncing off the back of the cabinet and the wall before scattering to the floor. Behind the cabinet. Hard by a bookcase. Which ain't going to be moving anytime soon.

I hate it when that happens.
