Judy Blume Rules. That is All.
If you can stomach Kathie Lee, then watch this brief clip of Judy being awesome.
(I totally agree with her observation that how it feels to be a teenager hasn't changed much over time, only the details are different.)

A Glimpse Into My Psyche Through My iTunes Play Count
I've always listened to music while I work. Today, as I was revising Perfect Fifths, I took notice of my iTunes Play Counts. Here, for pure procrastination purposes, is a partial list of frequently played songs that I've never before mentioned on the (retro)blog:

Wow. That Was Fast.
I really didn't think that so many of you would respond this quickly!
The winners of the (I Saw The Police and Elvis Costello and Now I'm in a Fantastic Mood and Feel Like Giving Stuff Away) Spontaneous Contest are...
Jasmin T. was the first to respond to the answer to the first question:

Synchronicity by the Police (Which, by the way, was the ONLY song they didn't play that I really wanted to hear. Oh well, leave 'em wanting more...)
And J.S. came in minutes after her with those answers PLUS the answer to the bonus question:
Don't Stand So Close to Me by the Police (You know Sting was a teacher before he became an Global Rock Star/Tantric Sex God, right? Oh my.)
