I'm so used to sleeping someplace with the windows open and having lots of sunlight in my room to tell me that it's morning. Here, I woke up ten minutes before my alarm and thought it was 4AM until I looked at the clock (at which point I was annoyed because I had been hoping it was 4AM and I could sleep for four more hours). These curtains + the tree outside my windows really block the light.

Anyway, time for Japanese!

A big thank you to conorfrog for the most excellent dance music!

I now have a playlist that is seven hours long. It has a lot of stuff that can be cut out though. In addition to hearing some old favorites I haven't heard in years (like the "everybody dance now" song), I have also been introduced to some totally cool new stuff (like Shakira), and I now have copies of a lot of songs I like that I didn't have before.

Here's a question for you all: should I put "Ninja Rap" on the playlist? It's the Vanilla Ice song from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II, you know -- "go ninja go ninja GO, go ninja go ninja GO!"

The only thing I'm worried about is that a lot of these mp3's are at different volume levels, and really need some sort of volume equalizer.

I have this awful feeling I'm forgetting something since I have no classes this afternoon. Starting next week I'll have Theocomp T/Th though. An email sent to students-l advertized a belly dance class! I've been wanting to take a belly dance class since this summer. It's on Fridays from 11-12. Anyone want to take it with me? Also, there's a pilates class Fridays from 1:30-2:30 which also sounds cool.

Eclectic

Talk about an eclectic playlist. No, it's not done yet. So far I have music in English, German, Spanish, Japanese, and Chinese. Anyone got anything to add to this? I could go for some more non-English music, just to expand my horizons. Okay, they're already kind of expanded because I didn't have any music in Spanish before.

The longer I sit here and stare at this list, the more I realize this is really a two-person job. I need second opinions. Should Vanilla Ice's "Ninja Rap" really be on here? etc.
