The Friday Random 10 returns!  If they start bumping against each other I’ll probably discontinue it again, but maybe this’ll help spur me to post more often.  Kari’s CD collection has also been added to mine so there’s a little more diversity, especially in the country genre.  Here we go!

  1. Lucky to be Here – Blessid Union of Souls
  2. Ben Folds Five – Cigarette
  3. Guns n’ Roses – Hair of the Dog
  4. Boston – My Destination
  5. Jo Dee Messina – Cover Me
  6. Sarah McLachlan – Sweet Surrender
  7. Shania Twain – I’m Outta Here
  8. Radiohead – No Surprises
  9. Sheryl Crow – Anything But Down
  10. LotR: The Two Towers OST – The King of the Golden Hall

Matt has a meme!

Grab the nearest book.

1. Open it to page 161.
2. Find the fifth full sentence.
3. Post the text of the sentence along with these instructions.

Don’t search around looking for the coolest book you can find. Do what’s actually next to you.

mine:

Union troops swarmed over the Confederate trench line and would have taken the fort itself if Buckner had not arrived with reinforcements.

From Grant by Jean Edward Smith, a biography of Ulysses S. Grant.  I got it for fifty cents at a garage sale yesterday.  :-)

Via John Wilkins comes a sci-fi book meme:

So I was intrigued by this list of best SF of the last 50 years, at tikistitch, via Pharyngula. The titles I have read are in bold.

When I first saw this I thought, “Ooo!! Sci-fi!.” Then I saw the list and felt humbled when I realized I’ve only read two of the books. *sigh* More reading material. Look below the fold to see the list and the two books I’ve read.

The Brutally Honest Personality Test December 9, 2006

This test is making its way around ScienceBlogs.  It’s based on the Myers-Briggs personality test that’s been floating around the internet for a while.  Here’s the link.

I got INTP:

Loser- INTP
13% Extraversion, 66% Intuition, 80% Thinking, 46% Judging

Talked to another human being lately? I’m serious. You value knowledge above ALL else. You love new ideas, and become very excited over abstractions and theories. The fact that nobody else cares still hasn’t become apparent to you…

Nerd’s a great word to describe you, and I seriously couldn’t care less about the different definitions of the word and why you’re actually more of a geek than a nerd. Don’t pretend you weren’t thinking that. You want every single miniscule fact and theory to be presented correctly.

Critical? Sarcastic? Cynical? Pessimistic? Just a few words to describe you when you’re at your very best…*cough* Sorry, I mean worst. Picking up the dudes or dudettes isn’t something you find easy, but don’t worry too much about it. You can blame it on your personality type now.

On top of all this, you’re shy. Nice one, wench. No wonder you’re on OKCupid!
Now, quickly go and delete everything about “theoretical questions” from your profile page. As long as nobody tries to start a conversation with you, just MAYBE you’ll now have a chance of picking up a date. But don’t get your hopes up.

I am interested though. If a tree fell over in a forest, would it really make a sound?
