Song meme

[crowdog66]

Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post a line from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 5: No cheating.
Step 6: Only pick up to four songs at a time so others can guess.

In other news, my latest deadline is killing me very efficiently. I won't be sleeping very much in the coming week or so. But the book is looking "great", as the editor has rather enthusiastically told me, so I guess that's something to be pleased about.

Half an hour of internet recreation, then back to painting.

Also, much snuggleage and fussing over for you. *snuggles and fusses over and massages*

*wonders if Winnipeg has any spas, 'cause a pedicure is a wonderful treat and she'd gladly give that as a Christmas gift*
