(no subject)

It's only eleven in the morning and I'm already hitting the diet Coke fountain sodas. This does not bode well for a bright day. I've also realized that I should bring in a coaster for my desk, because whenever I have a drink, it sweats all over my desk and that's just nasty.

I've also brought in some of my old cassette tapes, that had been buried in my father's basement. So many mixed tapes, never sent to whoever they were made for. Communication by mixed tape, I believe, is something largely confined to my generation and a little bit before. I would labor for hours over these things, carefully choosing every single track and their placement. This one I'm listening to right now was most likely made in 1997 or 1998, due to the some of the track selections (it's also amusing because it has "Break" by Charlotte's Funeral on it, hee).

For your laughing-at-Tara enjoyment, here's the track listing in its entirety:
