Then again, I've been kind of busy with the temp job and just haven't been much up to the blogging thing when I get home.But I thought I would do a little something I used to do. I've been listening to my iPod at the job, and I've had it on shuffle. So...here are the first 25 songs (plus some bonus ones) that I got off the
