downtime for my brain #2: mp3 roulette

been editing like heck and am hoping to finish before nightfall so i can get on with my writing. except that the editing feels suspiciously like rewriting, as the originals are so frickin' bad it's driving me crazy. thankfully, it'll be over soon.

so today is crunchtime and i'm so stressed out i'm itching to break something. like my diet, or a certain person's face, or the record for eating the most number of dried cherries while blogging. instead, i take a break and play mp3 roulette. meme stolen from the blog of the love of my life*.
