Whatcha Readin’ and Listenin’ To Wednesday: December 17, 2008
Usually I post what I’m listening to in my car, where I get through about six CDs a week. But when not in my car, I also listen to music on my iPod.
So today, you’ll get the iPod edition; I’ll show you the last 20 songs that came up on my iPod shuffle play. Enjoy.
Reading:
Titan Unveiled: Saturn’s Mysterious Moon Explored, by Ralph Lorenz and Jacqueline Mitton. Planetary science fascinates me, and that extends to the moons of the solar system. This book goes into crazy depth on everything you could possibly want to know about Titan, an amazing world far, far away.

Oh and I'm listening to it snow and sleet outside!
Exciting, eh?
