The Week 3 shuffle

This timed out very nicely for Week 3 of Couch-to-5K.

  1. 16 Military Wives … The Decemberists
  2. Ch-Ch-Check It Out … Beastie Boys
  3. Cannonball … The Breeders
  4. We Used to Be Friends … The Dandy Warhols
  5. Woo Hoo … The 5.6.7.8’s
  6. Seven-Nation Army … The White Stripes
  7. Crazy … Gnarls Barkley

So it’s been about six weeks since I decided to start the Couch-to-5K program again, and I’m only on Week 3. I am very, very slow.

Poor Rockford

The Weather Channel says it “feels like” it’s 27 degrees here.

Rockford’s bus broke down a mile and a half from his park-and-ride lot.

He’s walking to his car, carrying an empty cupcake caddy.

(I did offer to go pick him up, but he says he’ll get to the car faster than I could get to him. He’s probably right. He has very long legs.)

Magic 8 iPod

Go to your music player of choice and put it on shuffle. Say the following questions aloud, and press play. Use the song title as the answer to the question. NO CHEATING.

What does next year have in store for me? … “Waste Time,” The Fire Theft
Sounds like nothing will be changing in ’07 …

What’s my love life like? … “Jackie Blue,” Ozark Mountain Daredevils
I don’t really know what to make of that.

What do I say when life gets hard?… “Why Don’t You Write Me?” Simon & Garfunkel

What do I think of on waking up? … “Kate,” Ben Folds Five
Our former neighbor, Kate, moved to Alaska recently. I just heard from her a few days ago. They were having “unseasonably warm” weather — it was 10F!

Favorite saying? … “Faraway Cookies,” Caitlin McEwan
That’s so spot-on it’s scary. It’s a song about cookies being “so high on the shelf.” So we have shortness and cookie-eating. Yep.

Favorite place? … “Into the Groove,” Madonna
Totally.

Drug of choice? … “Holiday,” Madonna
I do love a vacation.

Describe myself. … “If You Listen,” Elizabeth Mitchell
That’s not very descriptive, is it?

What is the thing I like doing most? … “Song for Junior,” Beastie Boys
Not far off. Junior and I do play music and dance quite a lot.

What is my state of mind like at the moment? … “Prime of Life,” Neil Young
It has been a nice day thus far.
