My IPOD is possessed. I literally have it nearby all the time, since I have realized that music keeps me sane. (or happy, excited, or calm - whatever the situation calls for.)
Anyway - I KNOW I turned it off after the gym last night. Then pressed the 'lock' button so that when I shove it in my pockets or bag it won't turn on and drain the battery. I double checked it. OFF.
Not so much. Last night, around 11 I'm lying in bed and hear this faint noise like singing. I start wandering around my room - sure enough my IPOD is playing through my headphones. Strangely, it is still in 'lock' mode.. which means it could not have turned itself on. And, it is on a different playlist than what I had it on. Perhaps our house ghost, Eugene*, enjoys my music as much as I do, and wanted to listen?
*He's real, he flickers lights, turns off the TV while we are watching it, turns on the faucet, hides our things, and leaves dishes in the sink. Apparently he listens to IPOD's as well.

crushes and covers
This weekend I saw The Last King of Scotland http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0455590/.
Great movie - A bit graphic/gory at times, but a good story. (It is the story of Idi Amin, the president /dictator of Uganda from 1970-1979...and all the corruption and genocide that ensued during his reign.) On a lighter note, one of the main characters is my new celebrity crush. . James McAvoy. You may remember him as Mr. Tumnus the fawn, from The Chronicles of Narnia. Judging from his pics on http://www.imdb.com/, he is cuter in films. I think it was the Scottish accent in The Last King of Scotland that got me.. I have a thing for accents apparently.
Is it possible to have a 'crush' on a song? How else would you describe the short lived obsession with a song that causes you to download it and play on repeat (and perhaps sing it ridiculously loudly in your car, by yourself)? I know other people who do this too, I'm not crazy! Anyway, I currently am a fan of the Jim Sturgess covers of Beatles songs from the Across the Universe soundtrack. Particularly "Girl", "Something", and "All My Loving." Check him out on the soundtrack, or more simply, on his myspace artist profile - http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&friendID=152893222
