music

Today my ipod was randomly playing through what I have on it. I don’t usually listen to it that way- but it was kind of fun.
Here’s what we (Sean, Caleb and I) listened to while driving around town this afternoon–

1. Mr. Big Stuff- Jean Knight
2. Drive My Car- The Beatles
3. Senorita- Justin Timberlake
4. Bohemian Rhapsody- Queen
5. Baby Got Back (only for a minute and I edited it with the volume control)- Sir Mix-a-Lot
6. Sweet Home Alabama- Lynrd Skynrd (Sean asked if it was Rascal Flatts–my parents would die!)
7. I Can See Clearly Now- Jimmy Cliff
8. You Give Love a Bad Name- Bon Jovi (totally rocked out to that one– the boys are totally into this)
9. Great Balls of Fire- Jerry Lee Lewis
10. When I See an Elephant Fly- from Dumbo (I don’t know who sings it)
11. For Once in My Life- Stevie Wonder

I do my best to fill the boys in on all of the music trivia that my dad imparted to me. Our play list is a bit more random than the music my dad had us (or forced us to) listen to. I love music and the feelings and memories it conjures up. I think that this is definitely an area I am like my dad. I ask (or force) Cam and the boys to listen to songs all the time and then ask them what they think the song means- agghh- who’d have thought? Thanks a lot dad!

I’ve been waiting for these to come out ever since they announced the MacBook Pro, and it became clear there would be no 12″ MacBook Pro.

The black one is cool, but not worth the $200 premium. Maybe if I wait long enough, they’ll stop charging extra for it.

The only other downside, at least from my perspective, is the fact that it is nearly two inches wider than my 12″ PowerBook G4, and would therefore require a new bag to carry it in.

UPDATE: 2006-05-25

Cross this one off this list. I’m posting this from my new black MacBook, which was waiting for me in the pantry when I got home today. Happy Birthday to me!
