I listened to Michael Jackson’s “Stranger in Moscow” on steady repeat as I drove to work today, humming along as I gazed through the rain coated glass into the low and heavy clouds darkening the skies.  By the fifth repeat, I’d wallowed myself into a murky place.  Yes, I was in need of inspiration.

I pinged into my personal e-mail as part of my morning in-office, breakfast (Quaker Maple and Brown Sugar Oatmeal and Kashi Go Lean Crunch)/finish the Starbucks latte ritual.  There I found a fantastically creative game completed and posted by Jessi.  I’ll include the rules below in case you want to play along (do it ,do it) and then my random answers.  Great fun and also a bit spooky!

Directions:  Put your iTunes, winamp, mp3 player or other music source on shuffle. For each question, simply advance to the next song to get your answer. You must answer with the song name and artist even if it doesn’t make sense. No cheating!
