My Current Shuffle Playlist

I'm not really a ritual person but then again I'm not overly spontaneous. I think on the Myers-Briggs test I scored right on the border the trait that corresponds to spontanity vs. routine. (For the record, I'm an INTJ but am high only on the "T")

But since I got my Shuffle, Sunday has become my weekly ritual of loading up the iPod and charging it up. I really like the Shuffle. It's light and fairly unoptrusive for my afternoon walk/runs (mostly walks) and the sound response seems better than the 20Gig model I now regret buying. It also keeps a charge for a long time - supposedly 12 hours though I've never been so anal as to measure it. At any rate, it's a lot longer than the 20 Gig model.

Here's my current playlist (and yes, I am a music buying addict, a friend of Lester B.):
