After what? Not much. But it's a cool song I just found on the River and I like it. So the title amused me.
Yesterday was cool. Cousin Freddie came over from New York and went up to Canada with my grandmother. We met up with them for dinner (It would have been all day, but Josh had to work till 3:30.) So we went off to some burger/sub joint and I made a pig of myself with fries with gravy (yum!) and a canadian bacon sub (Also yum!)
Question: Why is it called Canadian Bacon and not Canadian Ham? It's more like Ham than Bacon. Just wondering.
So, we got home from Canada and there was a message for me. Todd, an old friend I just don't talk to much anymore is having a big party at his house tonite and I'm invited. So I said "Cool. I'm there.". It takes place from 5 PM till... whenever. They said they'll have a bonfire going (Fire is cool. I dunno why I find it so cool, but I always do. I love bonfires. I hope they brought the marshmallows :D ) So that's exciting.
Tommorow looks less exciting. I'll get some laundry done. Go and get some work done at school so that I have something to show the boss on Tuesday for our meeting. Otherwise, no plans at all for the day. Dunno what we'll do.
I can't believe I'm up at 6:00. Well, I was UP at 5:00, but I gave up trying to go back to sleep at 6:00. If I can't go back to sleep after an hour, I probably won't. *mutters*
Oh well. Not a whole lot to say. So I'll post. See ya.

The idea came recently as I was thinking about an ooooold email I got from [livejournal.com profile] dustkitten with lyrics from a bunch of old '80s songs. I know more of these songs now and like a bunch more, so i thought.. maybe I should do my own!
And so, here it is, in all it's glory...
190 lyrics of pure 80s goodness.
So, here's my challenge for any interested parties. As the person who made the quiz, I have the answers, of course. So I'll post the quiz and once there's a general consensus that I should post the answers, I will.
Feel free to work together or, if you're feeling particularly cocksure, alone.
Note that each of these songs was a fairly to major big hit, back then, so that if you did have a radio and listened to it, or just love 80s music as much as I do, you should recognize the songs mentioned here.

You may find the quiz Here.
Good luck!

I've given myself a new project. It's going to be tough, but I think it's worth it. Dare I suggest, even necessary.
The problem is this...I have between 17 and 18 CDs of MP3s I like to listen to. I've been burning since I got this computer... a while back (about the time that Napster was free and hot and I'd discovered it). And, as I only have a limited amount of space on my computer, I burn... FAIRLY regularly.
So, when new CDs come out or I find new songs I want to burn, they go on whatever CD I'm burning.
This was an... issue.. when I was trying to find my 80s songs for that last quiz. Because I, literally, have an 80s hit on nearly every CD. Add to that the fact that I've got, for example, Bob Rivers songs on at least 6 CDs, Barenaked Ladies on two etc, you're getting the drift.
It might behoove me to sort through my CDs and try to regroup things into an intelligent design (for example, take this playlist I created of 80s hits I just created for this quiz and try to burn them to CD.
Not only that, but maybe take the time to make sure the filenames and ID3 tags are correct.
And also, once I've burned them, go through the not fun, but probably important task of getting a playlist of the songs on all the CDs so that I know where all my songs are.
And so that's my project. To sort through, reburn and list my MP3 collection.
Sound fun, doesn't it?
Well.. no... not really, but it'll be useful.
So... that's my big summer project.
I'll keep y'all updated on it. :)
