Using iTunes for the Timothology almost makes me feel guilty, because it's so easy to set up a playlist and burn it to disc. I used to have spiral notebooks filled with Timothology track lists, shopping lists, pricing estimates, and the like. In a political science class at Oakland Community College, the student behind me in class asked why my notes were all numbers and lists instead of phrases and sentences like everyone else's. I replied that I was making a shopping list for a gigantic mix tape instead of paying attention in class. She sarcastically asked how that was working for my GPA. I told her (truthfully) I was set to graduate with honors. The talks broke down at that point.
I probably mentioned this before, but the Timothology is a hobby that went from being beyond the cutting edge in 2000 to something a whole lot of music fans were doing in the middle of the decade to retro and possibly never to be repeated in 2013--blank CD-Rs made for music instead of software are getting thin on the ground and I don't want to just hand someone a flash drive and say that's the Timothology.
