I just got to do it. From Spike and E @ L comes a new meme: Put your iPod (or iRiver) on shuffle (unless it is an early version iPod, one that doesn’t have shuffle) and press next for each question. Write down the song that’s playing as an answer.

And……..I’m back. In one week I will be on my way to the United States and life in Shopping Mall USA. I got upgraded to Business Class on Cathay today. Considering I was just making it to the gate -a late start by rolling over for just a few more
