Today I discovered a new music site that will take a song or artist you like, then recommend other songs/artists that are similar. This all came about when we were at a friend's house, creating a mix tape (the term mix CD just doesn't sound right). The site is
Pandora. It'll expose you to artists that you've probably have never heard of.
Also, I spent most of the afternoon laughing so hard that I was tearing and making snorting sounds. We put together round #2 of the dating bet between our two running friends. This all started a month ago when E. (first name is abreviated) started saying that dating is too scary and that she could never imagine ever asking a guy out on a date. Because of the good supportive friends we are, we had "E" compete with another one of her buddies (Let's call him "S") on seeing who can ask three people out first in the month of September. The prospective dates didn't have to say "yes," they just needed to get the courage to ask them out. "E" easily won over her other buddy, "S."
So, today we wrote a new October challenge where they have to gettwo people each to agree to go out on a date with them. We even wrote down several rules, so they wouldn't try to manipulate the "spirit" of the challenge. Two of us (myself and "W") will act as judges in case the two participants argue on the victory. The loser this time will have to sing, "Living La Vida Loca" in front of our track friends. If neither one completes the October challenge, they'll need to sing a duet of our (the judges) choosing. Also, if they both complete their tasks on the same day, we'll declare a tie, and this bet rolls into the month of November. Oh, it'll be a fun November for us!
