Random Friday–Holiday Weekend, here I come!

It’s Friday once more, and as is my Friday tradition, it is time for me to set my pod a’shufflin’ and report back the first ten songs it spits out. I promise not to omit, alter or justify any of the songs that show up. I expect all who play along to adhere [...]

Random Friday–In the last few minutes of Friday

My schedule today was different from the norm, and so I haven’t gotten a chance to get my Random Friday Ten up until just now. But I can’t let a Friday go by without setting my pod to shuffle and reporting back the first ten songs it spits out, now can I? The rules are [...]

Random Friday–First at the new place

That’s right, Friday has rolled around once more and you know what that means! It’s time for me to set my pod a’shufflin’ and report back the first ten songs it spits out. As always, I will neither omit, neglect or ignore any of the songs the pod brings to the surface, proving once and [...]

Random Friday–It’s Cinco de Mayo!

It’s Friday once more, and that means it’s time for another edition of the Friday Random Ten! (cue the audience applause). The rules are simple, set your iPod or other (less aethetically pleasing) digital music player to shuffle/random and report back the first ten songs it spits out. No skipping, omitted, excusing or [...]

Random Friday–the “it’s a beautiful day and I’m not at work” edition

It’s Friday and you know what that means! Another set of random music, straight from the oddly insightful brain of my iPod. You know the rules, but here they are, anyway. Set your pod or other inferior digital music devise to shuffle/random, and report back the results. There is no skipping, [...]

Random Friday–Any day’s a good day when I’m wearin’ my Frye boots

I’m grateful to have arrived at Friday once again, relatively unscathed by the preceeding week, and ready for just a little rest. Or maybe, not so much rest, as I’ve got a potluck and Shay’s birthday dancing excursion (happy birthday Shay-bird!) tonight as well as a wedding and Shay’s actual birthday party tomorrow. [...]

Random Friday–Happy St. Patrick’s Day

I wish you all a Happy St. Patrick’s Day, despite the fact that (according to the Writer’s Almanac) St. Patrick was singularly responsible for co-opting the pagan holidays and celebrations of Ireland and turning them into Christian holidays. I don’t feel so warmly towards him now. I’m sure that my sister, armed with [...]

Random Friday–The leaving work at noon edition

I’ve always loved Friday evenings. They always felt to me to be a gift of time, a little pocket of space where the regular rules governing the minutes and hours don’t apply. The weekend has yet to really start, you still have a full two days to spend in the manner of your [...]

Random Friday–Only one week until my sister comes to town

It’s Friday again, and the day is slipping away from me. It’s already after 1 pm and I’m just now getting my Random Ten up, for your reading pleasure.
You know the rules, set your pod/digital music player to shuffle/random, and report back the first ten songs it spits out. No omitting, skipping, hedging, [...]

Random Friday–The Chuck Berry Edition

Sometimes there are moments, when only Chuck Berry will do. Yesterday afternoon, as I walked home, I experienced one of those moments. I turned to my pod, slightly concerned, as I had a vague memory of heartlessly deleting Chuck during a pod purge. As I scrolled down to the C’s, I exhaled [...]
