Why hasn’t anyone ever told me about Pandora? I mean, seriously, I thought you guys were my friends! I AM IN LOVE. I’m addicted to it. In fact if you want to buy me a subscription for the upgrade for my birthday, I’d love you forever. Well, I would probably love you forever anyway, truth be told, but it would be nice of you. This is the exact kind of thing I talked about doing one day. I have told people that I would like to start a radio station where it played all kinds of genres of music. It’s absolutely perfect.
I joined, and then while looking around, I saw all of these people I knew who were listening and what they were listening to. It was so awesome. One of my dearest friends was listening to an artist I absolutely love and I didn’t even know that we both liked that artist. Generally, we don’t even listen to the same kind of music. Or so I thought. Anyway, I’ve put the little widget there in my sidebar, so you can see what I like and maybe take a listen yourself if you haven’t had a chance to experience that particular artist or group. I like almost any kind of music, so you’ll see a wide range of tunes in my lists of listenings. (Yes, I just made that up.)
Pandora is in the title of this post twice for a reason. The first Pandora, I already told you that I LOVE. The second Pandora, not so much. Pandora is Ashley’s annoying, pissing, petrified cat. She doesn’t like anyone besides me (probably because I look a lot like Ashley) and she doesn’t like any of the other animals, which is annoying since she’s lived here for more than a year and she still hisses at them whenever they walk near her. She pisses all over the basement (which is finished, by the way) and has even done it so much that there is one place where the trim is rotting. Why haven’t we gotten rid of her yet, you ask? Because Isabelle LOVES her. And it’s not our cat. We’re just “babysitting” (read: fostering it and paying for it’s litter–that it uses rarely–and all it’s food) for the last 1 1/2 years.
However. And here’s the good news…She’s moving out!!! Ashley and her boyfriend and Isabelle are moving to a new apartment where they allow cats without the exorbitant pet deposit! Hurray. As soon as she moves out, we’re ripping up the carpet, scrubbing down the floor, replacing it with new flooring and replacing the trim.
Don’t get me wrong, she’s not all bad. I mean, she likes me, doesn’t she? 
Clearly she has excellent taste. But the pissing thing is a deal breaker.
What artist do we share a love of? I have to confess that I don’t really use Pandora much anymore. I listen at work and I used too much time (and refuse to pay for the service). I’m on Last.fm now. Come find me there!

I remember feeling so bad for my kitty Pirtuk. He was peeing all over our basement and I know it was because he was unhappy. Finding him a toddler-free home last year broke my heart but he’s so much happier now and that makes me smile.
Glad your basement will be back in order soon!

Why haven’t you posted on here about SuperProm?!? Mom, I get the feeling you are not taking this seriously.
Finn–Brandi Carlile. Or at least you were listening to it. I’ll have to check out Last.fm and find you there.
CMGD–I’m sure it’s because she’s pissed (no pun intended) about her situation and being abandoned by her real mommy. I hope she’s better for them when they get her back.
Emily–Oh, I have answered you, my darling daughter.
Love Pandora, but I love Last.fm more, mostly because it automatically syncs all the songs I’ve played on my iPod (via something they call Scrobbling). And as far as great mixes of music, I love Slacker Radio even more. Same principle, but I like their mix of music/artists better than Pandora.
There, you’re welcome. If I’d known you were still living in the 90′s, I would have told you about these sites a lot sooner.
