Sorting songs
Feb. 15th, 2024 10:23 pmEvery year since 2019, I have made a list of my top 100 favorite songs that I heard during the year. I really love the process of sorting them. In case anyone cares, I use the method (which I'm pretty sure is called "quicksort"), where you take a list and pick the item at the halfway point between top and bottom. If the thing you are sorting belongs above that item, then you make that item the bottom and then pick the item that is at the new halfway point between the top and the bottom. If the thing you are sorting goes below it, then you make the item the new top of the list and repeat. There are lots of times when I wonder if I'm just guessing and if the ranking is real. Then, I find a song that I am just sure is better than another song, so I feel comfortable saying that there is at least some reality to the ranking. Anyway, I like organizing things, and I like hearing my favorite songs, so it is an enjoyable process, which I am working on now. It will take a while, though, to do all the sorting, as I don't even get to it every day, and there are about 250 songs to sort.
In other news, I'm sick. Maybe I mentioned it. Right now, it is just in my nose, and I hope it stays there.
