Anyway, that's what it looks like today. Next week, who knows, some of these things might change. I'm sure that after I post this I'll think of something I should have included.

Thanks Robert, it was fun. I'm going to tag oldwhitelady with it next. She's always talking about the CDs she takes with her, so her Top 5 should be pretty interesting. Consider yourself officialy tagged oldwhitelady. Enjoy!
