Monday Morning Eye Candy

July 3rd, 2006 § 2 comments § permalink

Yawn.  Monday.  Blech.

But two things that make it easier to come in this morning:

Watching the football team workout on their morning run.  Yes, I know they're barely legal and all, but yum.
The construction contractors working on my new office.  I'm not exactly in a hurry for them to finish by fall.

Old Skool

July 1st, 2006 § 7 comments § permalink

Rising early on a Saturday with good intentions, I walked and fed the dog, made breakfast, and sat down at the laptop to pay bills.  While killing my freshly good mood while seeing my bank account dwindle, I couldn't really find anything on iTunes that I wanted to listen to.  I'm fresh out of new music, and the old standbyes weren't working, so proceeded to make a new mix.

I was looking for something fun, danceable, singable, etc.  It's been a while since I made a mix cd, and this one isn't stellar by any means, but I was inpired when Rob Base got shuffled into the playlist from my library.  While g-talking with Dave, we volleyed lyrics from Snoop Dag to Run DMC, and it was practically kismet. 

So voila - my "Old Skool" mix:

  1. It Takes Two - Rob Base
  2. Insane in the Braine - Cypress Hill
  3. Come Baby Come - K7
  4. Gin & Juice - Dre and Snoop Dog
  5. Push It - Salt n Pepa
  6. Baby Got Back - Sir Mix Alot
  7. It's Tricky - Run DMC
  8. The Choice is Yours - Black Sheep
  9. OPP - Naughty by Nature
  10. Hypnotized - Notorious B.I.G.
  11. The Humpty Dance - Digital Underground
  12. Jump Around - House of Pain
  13. Nuthin but a G thang - Dr. Dre
  14. Keep Their Heads Ringing - Dr. Dre and Ice Cube
  15. This Is How We Do It - Montell Jordan
  16. Jump - Kriss Kross
  17. Rappers Delight - Sugar Hill Gang
  18. Bust A Move - Young MC

So today's productivity?  Questionable.  Music?  Excellent.
