I had had enough of budgets and development plans and marketing so I went to Diaryland and started looking at review sites to find some good new diaries to read. I didn’t find one but I did find some good ideas for more to put on the “extras” page.

So, here it is: a list of Nimiiwin’s Top 20 or So Favorite Songs (in no particular order other than how I thought of them):

24. The Next Episode – Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg

There are more but I can’t think of the titles. There’s an Usher song from his first or second album that I loved but I can’t remember the name of it and for some reason today I can not get it to play on Windows Media Player when I look it up online. I played that song to death. I guess I’m gonna have to go to Barnes and Nobles and look it up. There’s a 2pac song I like a lot too but I can’t remember … I think it’s California Love but I’m not sure. Pitiful.
