Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
1. Open up iTunes, and select the Music tab under Library.

2. Click the shuffle icon in the lower left.

3. Place your cursor in the search box in the upper right.

4. This will filter your entire library of music by genre, album, artist or song.

5. Type in any word; I went with "lily".

6. Play any song in the results. (Lily Allen's "Smile")

7. While that song's playing, type in a word that's in the genre, album, artist or song.

8. When your song finishes, a random song in the new list will play.

9. Return to step 7.

My results:
"lily" -> Lily Allen - Smile
"smile" -> Everclear - Chemical Smile
"chemical" -> My Chemical Romance - Blood
"blood" -> The Bloodhound Gang - Most Likely to Suck
"suck" -> Wu-Tang Clan - Sucker MC's
"mc" -> Cass McCombs - I Went to the Hospital
"hospital" -> The Beastie Boys - Sneakin' Out the Hospital

Memento mori

3:10 PM - I was walking south on Alumni Rd from my office to the corner gas station to get a midday beverage and snack. I saw what might have been either a mouse or a chipmunk begin to hop across the street from the west side to the east side. A southbound car passed me and braked to avoid hitting the animal. It continued on, shaken, into the northbound lane. A car approached. Its last hop was into the front driver's side hubcap of the car. Dead. Suddenly. I had a large mocha Starbucks iced coffee drink and a peanut butter Nature Valley granola bar.
