Guess who blew through the alarm clock this morning? As my phone starting yapping at me around ten, I grabbed it in a daze to only hear Jim on the other end. He wasn’t upset. Just wondering where the transmitter keys were. The strange thing is that I was having this totally vivid dream that I was hanging out with Muffin at some college radio station back in his hometown of Burlington. In fact, I remember seeing the campus of the school he’s currently attending down there. 88.9FM was the frequency, but I have no clue about the call letters. There were about twelve people crammed into this studio, and I had absolutely no idea what was going on. They just kept telling me to talk into the mic as was everyone else, all at the same time. In real life, the school doesn’t even have a radio station. So weird.
I think my body needed the extra rest, but for good reason. Around one in the morning last evening, I awoke to the shrill of a female screaming somewhere outside my bedroom window. Understanding the innocent bystander principal, I quickly tried to figure out where it was coming from. Was this person in dire need of assistance? Fight? Rape? Mugging? Horrible break up and a recently cute single girl in need of a rebound guy???? Just as I got my brain pulled out of my happily sleeping daze, I figured it out. The stupid neighbors were watching a stupid movie really stupid loud with their stupid windows open. Stupid people really annoy me. Seriously. Took a while for the pulse to subside.
Being the music nerd I am that lives in my own little world, the new version of iTunes is pretty sweet. They have a “party shuffle” built into it now. I realize I could have made a smart playlist to do the same thing, but hitting play on it is like my personal radio station. With nearly 2,500 songs in my library, I’m listening to stuff I haven’t in quite sometime. Oh yes, it’s quite nice.
