My blog posting is starting to wane. I’ve got this giant post written in my head, it even has a clever title of Cats, Cars, and Crowe, but I just can’t seem to get it out tonight.

Instead, I suggest you listen to the new John Mayer song, ‘Say‘, because its awesome.

Or look at my sleeping cat (who isn’t dying anymore than normal):

And for one last time this season: Go Hawks! Please? Just one more game to win and then we can go to a bowl game we don’t really deserve that probably won’t even be aired on a channel most of us can watch.

On Sunday, I’ll move on to basketball season. And wrestling. I did get a ticket for the Iowa v. OSU basketball game in Columbus in January when I’m there for training. Probably the only game I’ll get to see this year. Stupid cable companies and tv channels. *grumble*

What I’m listening to/What my iPod likes

Nanette, Stacey, and Lisa have all put their iPods/playlists on shuffle and posted about the first ten songs that came up and their thoughts/memories about the song.

I haven’t been listening to my iPod today. Today I’ve been indulging in a little early Christmas music by listening to Sujfan Stevens’ Songs for Christmas albums online. Jeff got me the boxed set for Christmas last year. [Read more about it here.] There are originals, classic Christmas tunes, and other hymns. Its very folksy and homemade and brilliant. I love it so much, but had been good and hadn’t listened to it since probably February. Today I gave in and started listening to it online, as I don’t have my Christmas music on my iPod yet. Highlights include O Come , O Come Emmanuel on Vol. I, Come Thou Font of Every Blessing on Vol. II, and That Was the Worst Christmas Ever on Vol. III. Sujfan has some of the most entertaining song titles you’ll see.

I will now take a break from the Christmas and put my iPod on shuffle and see what comes up. I have 12,561 songs on my iPod right now. I bet I haven’t listened to half of those, so I doubt my list is going to be filled with specific NOLA fabulousness (it would if I just used my NOLA or Harry playlists), but this could be entertaining or very dull.
