Friday Random 10: The 'Manic Monday' edition(s)

The Bangles 'Manic Monday' wasn't the first song I heard this morning, but it did pop up on the iPod while I was in some traffic, surrounded by dangerous idiots in a really big hurry to get to their important jobs. I was singing along, smiling at everybody, letting pedestrians have the right-of-way and once I even paused to let a huge SUV covered with W '04 stickers in front of me. I just wasn't in the mood to be unpleasant, though I did flip him a bird once he got moving. Talk about your mixed messages, eh?

Anyway, I got to my desk eventually and found a couple of random ten lists that were ready to go last Friday, but I apparently never got around to posting them. Here's one:
