Mix Tapes / Cell Mates

Sorry for the blog overload today, but it's all been percolating for a while and it's making me drop the thing I'm in the middle of and run to my computer.

I've been dating Janice for almost 3 years. In that time I've made her 27 mix CDs. Twenty Seven. I've been averaging one per month since we started dating. I've been meaning, for a while, to start posting the play lists to my blog. So here's the most recent one, followed by the very first one I made her, some time in June, 2007:

And then, the very first one. Janice had it in her head when I met her that she was a fan of the '80's, and I think that's part of why she dates me. I'm like a living relic. But she needed a real '80's musical education. Kids these days...
