Old timey, mari-timey.

I'm sitting here at work, revising the weirdest mix I could make right now. While making a mix CD for my Finnish girlfriend, Nina, a few months ago, Adam told me that I make really weird mixes. Its probably true, I have trouble sticking with one genre or the other, so often times my mixes sound quite disjointed. It also takes me for-ev-er to be really happy with mixes I make for other people, and often they are never finished. Since April, I have made no less than four separate mixes for Adam that remain unfinished. I know, I suck.

So, I was thinking the other day, about this project my psychology teacher made us do for class where we made a mix tape that described who we were as a person. I still have my mix tape somewhere. I think it included the Monkees and probably some God's Reflex, if memory serves. Maybe I'll try that project again soon. And then when I meet people I can say, "Hi, I am Jen and this is a musical version of me." Problem is, I'm not sure I would even know where to start with something like that.

The mix I finished today is so bizarre and skewed that I can't wait to find someone who can appreciate a mix with Annette Funicello's Pineapple Princess, John Lee Hooker, and some Bollywood something or other thrown in for extra dance fun.

Wow, I am in a strange place indeed.

My life is very odd right now.
