Thinking LOUD Out Brain Songs It seems I have a kind of…well, affliction. My brain contains a small continuous reel tape that makes it possible for me to hear a song, then replay one or two measures of that song over and over in my head until I hear another song catchy enough to take its place. Two years ago, I had Burl Ives singing Have a Holly Jolly Christmas for three solid weeks — and really, I thought I’d go quite mad. But then Auld Lang Syne took over on New Year’s Eve, followed by a dreadful fifties song called If I Knew You Was Comin’ I’d Have Baked a Cake shortly thereafter — neither of which was great but both of which were a relief from Burl and his jolly holly. The good news is that there is an upside to this problem. I don’t need an iPod. I don’t even need a radio. I am my own irritating amusement. Saves me a fortune in batteries!

Week’s BEST Technically Challenged My mom turns off her laptop before disconnecting the Ethernet cable so the internet doesn’t “leak out into the house.”- Miranda K My mother-in-law usually makes smiley faces this way :). When she wants to make a frown, she uses the other parenthesis. Unfortunately, she also flips the colon to the other side. She ends up writing things like “Sorry to hear about the death of your friend (:” - Juc B
