It granted me amusement but I didn't feel like putting it up on FA, so here it is.
...Yeah, I'm home. There are awesome pics. I'll post them when I'm more awake.

1. Open your music library.
2. Put it on shuffle.
3. Press play.
4. For every question, type the song that's playing.
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button.
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool.
7. ???
8. PROFIT!

Songs:

Opening Credits:
Stories, Maura O'Connell. From the Women of the World: Celtic CD.
...Pretty cute, mellow, Celticy piece. Neat.

Waking Up:
World Leader Pretend, REM

First Day At School:
October, Lydia Busler-Blais
This is classical, with the French horn played by Lucy's sister-in-law, one of the country's premier French horn players.

Falling In love:
Against the Wind, Mairé Brennan, ALSO from the Women of the World: Celtic CD. WTF???

Fight Song:
Seoithin, Karan Casey
My life has a very Celtic soundtrack so far, which isn't a surprise at all given my ipod contents. Still, I fight more gently than I fall in love, apparently.

Breaking Up:
Ned of The Hill, Cherish the Ladies
This is more Celtic, this time a beautiful instrumental lament done mostly on solo Irish flute. How fitting.

Prom:
Ani DiFranco, Served Faithfully
OK that's just weird. But given how I felt about proms when I was in high school (thankfully I attended a high school that didn't have one, although apparently there was a Nonesuch Prom at least once, and it was properly weird) this kinda works.

Life's OK:
Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting With Eric, Charles Mingus
It's a groovy Jazz instrumental. Sweet.

Mental Breakdown:
Whiskey Before Breakfast, David Holt & Doc Watson
An Irish chestnut that made it into the Old-Time American repertoire (as is played in this version). I swear to dog I'm doing this strictly by the directions above. ipod oracle, you are a creepy beast.

Driving:
Bottle, Copper Wimmin
Oooh, dark one.

Flashback:
Whispering Pines, Dar Williams
Dark and dreamy one. Again with the creepy ipod.

Getting Back Together:
Mack the Knife, Bobby Darin
HAHAHAHAHAHA. Which girl am I getting back together with, with THIS as a soundtrack?!?!?! And who's doing the biting?!

Wedding:
Single Girl, Pat Caroll from the Songcatcher album
...OK NOW I'm creeped. And LMAO. This trad. tune is all about how the protagonist woman is totally miserable being married. Avalon Rising's 'Do You Love an Apple' is a much gentler varient of the basic concept than this one, in which the woman's children are starving and her husband beats both them and her.

Birth of Child:
Can't we Be Friends, Ella Fitzgerald
Snerk. The ipod demon is telling me that my plans never to marry or breed are sound, apparently. It's a breakup song.

Final Battle:
Should I Stay or Should I Go, The Clash
LOL LOL LOL

Death Scene:
Carhop, Los Straitjackets
...I have a Los Straitjackets song for my *death scene?* duuuuuuude.

Funeral Song:
Wounded Hussar, Tres Lunas
It's another lament, this time with harp and fiddle. The ipod demon is definitely cooperating with this meme.

End Credits
Jump, Jive 'n Wail, Brian Setzer

...ok, well there you have it! 0_o

Also, .

So this morning, I was awoken from lazy drowsiness by the loud quacking of my two girl-ducks (OK, the drakes quack too but only the hens are loud) and the following immediately thereafter, sung by my girlfriend the trained soprano, to the tune of "Oh Danny Boy":


Oh Summer girl
The ducks, the ducks are calling
from coop to coop
and down the Meeker-side
their food is gone
and all the water's muddy
it's you, it's you must go and feed them now

But if you stall
then somebody might help you
but if you stall
then somebody maybe won't
but I must go
and no one else is home
it's you, it's you must go and feed them now


...well, I am awake. ;D (and the Dux fed).
