Okay, Now This is Really Freaking Me Out
The rules are as follows: start iTunes on the most recent piece of music that has earwormed its way into your head and then let it continue in shuffle mode until bedtime. Tonight it was Fauré’s Pavane. As I hit the Return button, power of suggestion being what it is, I thought how nice it would be to then hear Ravel’s Pavane for a Dead Princess. Being someone who follows rules (especially rules of my own making), I decided instead to let randomness rule.
Guess which piece came up next.
I mean, my computer has enough music on it to keep playing for 14.6 days without repeating a single piece.
I think iTunes can hear me.

I think you're losing it, dude.
I'd figure out the probability of that happening, but I'm no longer an actuary.
But do you think iTunes can hear him?
the rule is: you can only affect the workings of the universe when it doesn't really matter either way. That's pretty much S.O.P.
If I were to think of a day and time in the next 15 days, any random moment, and then Dean were to guess a time, and be within 3 minutes or so of the time I picked, that would be about the same probability. Or maybe NPR hosts just have super powers.
Oh see, you must have accidentally set iTunes to "Mind Read Shuffle" mode. That feature was upgraded along with Tiger, to accommodate people who were distressed by the extreme unpredictability of "Party Shuffle." Did you not read your User's guide?
