If I were at home, to the point of being able to actually look through all 7000 of my MP3s… those would’ve been much better. But, as it stands, they’re not altogether bad. It was kinda fun to try and imagine the big movie-scene-type scenarios in my life and imagine soundtracks running throughout the slow, fading recap. Good times.
