Ok, I swear I had no idea it was Freddie Mercury's birthday today until I Youtubed 'Don't Stop Me Now' last night, and then only after I looked at it again after chucking it on my blog. Weird thing is, it wasn't even a random compulsion that drove me to Youtube the song. On my laptop, my screensaver pops up with all the album covers of the music that I have in iTunes.
Really cool.
Anyway, they made it stupid with the new operating system, so that when you move your mouse, the screensaver doesn't go away. No. It does much more than that.
It lets you click the album, and it plays!
Pretty cool, except for the fact that you can't get rid of the screensaver by moving your mouse.
But I digress. What happened was that I accidentally clicked on the album, 'Jazz', by Queen. And the only song I have from that album is, of course, 'Don't Stop Me Now'. And at the time, I thought, huh, crazy coincidence, good motivating song for the upcoming week from hell.
But this, this is some next-level crazy coincidence. Lots of weird coincidences happened back in my high school days - we'd talk about something random and obscure in class, and the next day it'd be in the mX - but this just takes the cake.
Anyway, I guess all that's left is to wish Freddie Mercury happy birthday. Happy birthday, Freddie Mercury.
Word of the Day: Mercury
