I don't remember which William Gibson book it was, but I remember one of his characters postulating that the reason why you get jetlag is that your soul travels at a different speed than your body. So, 'scuse me while my soul is still catching up.
While tired and groggy, I still have it in me to post a random ten. If you haven't done it before, pull out your IPOD or MP3 player. Set your contraption to random play and list the first ten songs you get. Here are mine:
- Fame and Fortune - Mission of Burma
- Sorted for E's and Wizz - Pulp
- A Change Is Gonna Come - Swervedriver
- Come Away - ESG
- He Ain't Give You None - Van Morrison
- Failures - Joy Division
- Mon Amour - Operatica
- Drum Mode - Gray
- Back to the Old House - Smiths
- Dreams - Gabrielle
Now it's your turn, either on your own site or below in the comments.

Oh, Rox, those are good songs but sure to keep dragging you down.

Is it time to say 'welcome to my country' now? Sorry about the weather...if only you'd come a few weeks ago, as we like to say.

Rox - the soul/jetlag theory (makes sense to me) is from Pattern Recognition. While I'm here, I'll click over to iTunes & see what happens. Okay:
By Way of Sorrow - Julie Miller
Always - Bill Evans
Is This All? - Jonatha Brooke
Livin' on Easy Street - George Jones & Tammy Wynette
Wondering Where The Lions Are - Bruce Cockburn
Mother Popcorn - James Brown & Astrud Gilberto
Fast As You Can - Fiona Apple
All Night Blues - King Wilkie
Dry the Rain - The Beta Band
Smoothie Song - Nickel Creek
This is kinda fun. Love your name, by the way.
