I have to work all day today, but I'd rather be at home watching cartoons...like this one.
What's your function?
Flashbacks
Legal ones.
I'm amazed at how certain stimuli can trigger memories. I'm not even talking about significant memories or memories that bear any sort of meaningful impact...just everyday things.
Last night, Chelsea had her entire iTunes library on shuffle, which kicked out a number of "interesting" tunes. Lots of stuff from the 90's, most of which needs to stay in the 90's (in my opinion). At one point, the speakers started belting a song from Switchfoot's 2003 album The Beautiful Letdown.
I immediately hurtled back in time and was walking north on Goodwin Ave. in Champaign, then cutting behind the Nuclear Engineering Building, angling toward the Digital Computer Laboratory. It was pretty weird...it felt like I was on my way from ISR to DCL to work on a
project. I distinctly remember listening to that album on my iPod (back when it was new, shiny, and would play for longer than an hour) while making that trek across campus.
