Kickin’ and Screamin’: My Musical Oracle

posted by hrossi | 9:30am Tuesday February 17, 2009

Valerie, I love your description of the Facebook iPod Shuffle game as “high-tech divination.”  So here’s what my iTunes tarot had to say.

(I must say I’m a little alarmed that “my life’s purpose” is “Lies,” and I danced at my wedding at “Up Where We Belong,” thank you very much!  But wow, I’d be lucky to have friends who think of me as “A Home”…. )

Despite what my oracle says, I’m in the mood for “A Little More Conversation.” So don’t forget to post your own results in our comboxes – did you uncover any iWisdom?
