It snowed for a little while today, but there was no major accumulation here.

After two nights of not sleeping well, I slept like the proverbial log last night… umm, this morning. I woke up a couple of times, at what most people would consider “decent hours,” but succumbed to the whims of Morpheus and went back to sleep. It was early afternoon before I managed to summon the willpower to get out of bed. Oh glorious sleep, how I reveled in thy grasp…

I didn’t do much today. The extent of my boredom was evident when I started doing some light cleaning. I knew that I had plumbed new depths of boredom when I caught myself in the middle of a mindless mental exercise/game that I came up with a few months ago: I would take two or more artists/bands and combine their songs into something combining the titles of both or all of the component songs. It seems to work “best” when the artists’ styles and genres are radically different.

  • Bananarama & Bryan Adams: Cruel, Cruel Summer of ’69
  • Kim Carnes & Billy Idol: Bette Davis Eyes Without a Face
  • Fred Rogers & David Bowie: Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood Threat
  • Nine Inch Nails & The Indigo Girls: Closer and Closer to Fine
  • Janet Jackson & Rush: Mystic Rhythms Nation
  • The Eurythmics & Elton John: Burn Down the Missionary Man
  • Tony Bennet & Rick Springfield: Don’t Talk to Strangers in the Night

You get the idea. It’s an amusing diversion. It’s also interesting when you get a group of people doing it – you get some rather interestin (and a little scary) combinations.

As promised, here is the latest snow pic, taken just outside the apartment around 17:00 MST. This was post-flurry, so there’s not a lot of unplowed/unscraped snow on the ground.

And some more crossovers:

  • Afroman & John Denver: Because I Was Rocky Mountain High
  • Jimmy Buffet, Kermit the Frog & Billy Ocean: Caribbean Amphibian Queen
  • Sammy Davis, Jr. & Samantha Fox: Naughty Girls from Ipanema Need Love Too
  • The Lemon Sisters & Bad Religion: 21st Century Boogie Woogie Digital Bugle Boy
  • Bobby Darin & Geddy Lee: Bill Bailey Won’t You Please Come Home on the Strange
  • Heavy D & Aerosmith: Now That We’ve Found Love in an Elevator
  • Gorillaz and Jerry Reed: Clint Eastwood-bound and Down
  • Rufus and Chaka Khan & NIN: Tell Me Something Good I Can Never Have

Peace.
