Spring Songs

It's time once again for another season playlist and blog background. Today's background is not only spring-like, but relates to what I would be doing right now if I were responsible and hadn't lost my keys: science. It's time for planting arabidopsis like crazy in the lab. I was tending to some plants in the greenhouse when I got my keys locked in the lab. Since it's Sunday, nobody was there to unlock it and let me get my keys. So now I'm unable to finish what I need to get done, so I'm just going to publish this post instead.

I finally got around to categorizing all of my iTunes music by season, and as a result I have far too many songs in each season to continue my 20 songs per season trend from fall and winter. I have 270 just for spring, and that's one of my short lists. With great effort, I've narrowed it down to 40. In the process I had to get rid of some excellent spring songs, so just because I've missed a nice song doesn't mean I don't believe it suits the season.

Edit: I've decided that since I typically refer to new blog layouts as they are used, but once I change it again it's hard to know what I'm talking about, I'm going to post screen-shots of the new-to-that-post design after I've changed things. Here is what my blog looked like when I published this:
