Playlisting!
As it turns out, I did spend a good amount of time this weekend resting. Yesterday was one of those days where lethargy grabs me and pins me down till just before sunset, but the rest felt good and necessary. Listened to music most of the time I was online. Walked a little in the evening light to get some also-necessary chocolate.
Today had more resting, as well as entirely too much munching of chocolate. Did some stuff online, napped, read a little of a book I probably won't finish, listened to more music, napped some more, read a tiny bit more, and then finally found the energy to go for a walk which the Gmaps pedometer tells me was about four miles.
At any rate, it's been a while since my last posting of a Launchcast playlist, so I figured it was about time. Since Yahoo's reached different agreements with different record labels in different countries, I wondered what difference it would make if I listened to the German version of meine Station. So that's what I listened to yesterday.

I think my station needs more variety. I always think my station needs more variety. Though I used to think this was a reflection of some weirdness in my psyche, I now think the Launch algorithm's got a sneaky way of leaving me just unsatisfied enough to get me to listen and rate even more than I would anyway.
