MDH and I are leaving tomorrow for the bright lights of the big city of Columbus, Ohio to spend New Year's and the rest of next week with all of our lovely friends, most of whom are public school teachers who don't have to go back to work until Jan 7th. Par-tay!Since MDH has to spend some of our time there working we can charge most of our expenses to the company trough. Hurray! It's what my darling calls a "boondoggle".
Meanwhile, in my absence, I give you the gift of music, via the meme that Constant Drama, that sweet young thing, tagged me for last week. I started filling it out and feeling very old and noticed that my answers were lacking lustre. I decided to spice things up a bit (and because I'm still not over the thrill of having my iPod safely returned from being repaired) and use musical answers from the shuffle feature of my iPod, as in a similar meme I posted on Monday.
This time, however, there is a new and experimental element I've added just for YOU. I've uploaded the musical answers to a file sharing thingy and hopefully you'll be able to click on them and actually download and listen to the songs as you please.
Hope it works! If not, would you please let me know in the comments?
Many thanks to BeckEye from The Pop Eye for inspiring me to try.

2. What were you doing at 0800?
I’ve got cotton candy between my ears and find that time reference baffling. So I was either, sleeping, reading, cooking or watching TV.

Not anymore as these days I am often alone. These days I’m typing more than I’m talking, but I can chew the ear off of strangers at the check out register at the grocery store.

It Stops With Me by the Hotclub of Cowtown
20. Do you make your own words?
Yes. It started with my sister when we were little. She couldn’t say God Bless You when someone sneezed so we started saying “Ooh Shom-blay-shen”, and it stuck.

And there you have it. Whew! Putting all these links in here took me a long time so it better have worked. I probably won't share this many songs at the same time again.

Okay. I need like, three days to digest all that. But thanks for the new song ideas for my itouch ipod.
Safe trip.
Silly pictures.
Much beer.
You have an Arts and Crafts bungalow? And you add the half year to your age at our age? Me, too! BFF.
Hey...I am on my way out the door, too, but stopped by to wish you a Happy New Year! Will have to go back and listen to all those songs. Very impressive linkage going on there...

Like your sister who could not say God Bless You, I could not (and still cannot) whistle as a child. Instead of whistling the normal little tune when someone looks good, I would say RIT REAR. I still use it sometimes.
Oh, and pistachio ice cream is my fav, too!
Have fun in Columbus!
p.s. can you teach me how to link? I'm blogger challenged.
I think I'll tag myself for this meme. Enjoy tropical Ohio! ;)
YAY! You did the tagged and I feel precious now =p. Heh.
Topsy Turvy, I always wanted to watch that movie but I live here in Malaysia and we dont have TMC and people just couldnt give a damn about classic movies as much as I do. Sad.
And concluding this comment I just want to point out that we clearly do not have the same taste in music, except maybe for the Amy Winehouse and Gorillaz song.
Thanks for doing the tag.
Enjoy the trip, happy New Year, and thanks for putting "Won't Fall in Love Today" in my head. Yes, I know you mentioned "Institutionalized" instead, but that album was my life for a hot second as a skate-friendly kid.
Wow. That is a lot of work. I'm too lazy to do those memes. But, of course, I like yours.
"I have never used text messaging because I am old."
I love that answer.
I've never heard the "Jackson" version by the Cash's, but I love teh Nancy Sinatra / Lee Hazlewood version
i love reading memes :)
perhaps you can't answer the ice cream question b/c your tastebuds have never carressed the sweet chill of chocolate chip mint??!
You have been tagged by me!
I don't think she's coming back. I think she left us. I don't think I like that.
