Challenges & Throwdowns

Last 5 Songs I Listened To

February 21, 2010

For the whole 3 people who read this blog, I thought I’d throw out a blog challenge. List the last 5 songs you’ve listened to. I’m currently listening via iTunes. But if you were listening to the radio or a CD or whatever, what were the last 5 songs you listened to?

For me:

1. C’est La Vie – Robbie Nevil
2. The Captain of Her Heart – Double
3. Sunshine Superman – Donovan
4. I Love L.A. – Randy Newman (I was feeling a little homesick.)
5. Call Me – Blondie

And in case any of you are interested, next up in the queue is “Brazil” by Django Reinhardt. I know, I know. “Who?” you might ask. Expand your musical horizons!! There’s always some great stuff out there you’ve never ever heard of.

Skee-ball Throwdown

January 8, 2010

So, I hear I have been challenged by a cousin o’ mine at a round of skee-ball, since I soundly beat her at pool last time we met. She says she clearly has the advantage. Little does she know, however, that I spent hours upon hours of my youth either bowling or playing skee-ball. I had barely enough room on my bed to sleep from all the stuffed animals I’d won playing carnival games, skee-ball being my favorite.

Did I mention my bowling average was 150? Did I also mention I could routinely hit nothin’ but net from 3-point range and my free throw percentage was 85%? I may have forgotten to mention my years playing softball and throwing runners out at home from deep left field. Yeah, when it comes to spherical objects, I have a habit of having pretty good aim with ‘em… If ya didn’t notice that from our little game of pool, cousin o’ mine. :D

Your only hope to beat me may be miniature golf.
