Why me at work is dangerous

[erilyn]

Me doing dull work while listening to my Zen leads to strange strange thoughts.

Like how my Zen is obsessed with certain songs. No, seriously, do other people find that their random/shuffle/whatever function on their mp3 player isn't really random? I've got over 1600 songs loaded on the Zen, but everytime I do random it brings up some of the same things. These include: BSB bootleg from Cleveland, "Qui-Gon's Noble End" from the Phantom Menace soundtrack (my player has a crush on Liam Neeson's ass? Okay), the Evita soundtrack, Plow King (from the Simpsons soundtrack), Push (Matchbox Twenty), Holst's Planet Suite and "The Homecoming Queen's Got a Gun". Meanwhile, when I poke around, I keep finding songs that I didn't even know were on here cause they never come up. Hmmm.

Also, the other side-effect is starting to plan songvids for every song that I can. A Sheppard vid to Rockstar Baby by Nick Carter would so work! A multi-fandom celebration to the MST3K song Pants! An SGA vid to The Sunscreen Marketing Board by Three Dead Trolls! Darn, there were others as well, but I can't remember them.

My Zen plays a lot of System of a Down. I think it thinks I need more bouncy energy music in my life. It's right. I love my Zen. *g*

Makes me think of the jokes about "my tivo thinks I'm gay" cause tivo's will record things on the basis that you might be interested in them *g*. Though I can't figure out what my Zen thinks based on it's preferences...
