Rush became my first band to break 1,000 on my Last.FM list. No surprises there. I guess that over my life time that probably means that I have listened to Rush songs at least 20,000 times. There were probably some years where I listened to them more, and some years where I listened to them less. The accountant/statistician in me is curious to what that exact amount might be.

That would be interesting to see. How would you even begin trying to figure that out though? LOL

Looks like Henry Cow should occupy the #2 spot any day now.

Yep!

It'll probably be within the next 7 days.

I'm writing a song on my mandolin.

Awesome.

I'm just relaxing, waiting, and rocking out to Dream Theater.

I have two similar chord progressions. One is throws in a dissonant chord, the other skips it. Which should I go with?

DISSONANCE

Why am I not surprised?

Because I'm awesome.

Because you're predictable. Like numbers on the right side of a ledger.

That's true. Wink

Hmm... it is less active today than it has been around this time on weekdays.

What gives?

Don't look at me. I bathed.

I took a shower just a few hours ago before my exam, so it's not me either.

No it isn't.

Here it is.

We were supposed to get severe weather last night too but apparently the storm barely missed us to the south. Thank goodness, because I didn't want my exam postponed.

Now I just don't want tomorrow postponed and then the weather doesn't matter anymore. Big smile

How'd it go this morning?

Much better than I had feared. I didn't have to do any financial statements from scratch, only parts. Big smile

And a bunch of computation, multiple choice, other stuff. I don't know how I did for sure, but I'm fairly confident I did well enough. I only need to keep my A anyway, which shouldn't be hard unless I bombed a section of it.

Spoken like a true Lisa Simpson.

Haha, probably. LOL
