I used to like to do this before I went to my waitressing job. Turned it all into great cinema.

I do the song thing too - but never because I intend to...it just happens sometimes. usually it's when I'm in the car at a traffic light. I'll try to be more purposeful about it and see what happens :-)

another thing i do with music is this - i listen to my favorite songs and pretend i'm singing them on stage...or that i'm famous...i used to want to be a folk singer when i was small so i guess it's carried over into adulthood...it feels like something i did when i was a little girl and it makes me happy.

I do this all the time "flit my eyes from one sight to another to the beat, pretending it was a music video in front of my eyes"... hee hee! Actually I am on holiday at the moment in England and I have been doing it often while I have been travelling around by bus and and train. Fun to know that others do this too!

Glass, Concrete and Stone by Iron And Wine (I think?) This is a good song to try this with. Quite good at dusk.

Great site. New here.

For a surreal grocery store experience, I'd highly recommend watching the Japanese film 'Tampopo' - delightfully bizarre and strangely wonderful.

Funny thing I should try, indeed ... ;-)

...'till now, while listening to inspiring music, my on paper sribbled figure rings the doorbell and tells me to come out, to show me, what is missing in their world yet ... "real life according to doodles" would be a nice film title to start with.

I do this when commuting to work everyday. I see people on the train, and I make up lifes for them. And make up a story about why they look tired, upset or happy. This can keep me occupied for a long time. I usualy end up telling the stories to my boyfriend who usually thinks it's very amusing. I tend to listen in on other peoples conversations as well

I makes commuting slightly more interesting.

Oooh, very nice. I do this a lot, actually. I find everyday life very amusing most of the time. ;^)

I love this!!

First of all, I love The Nightmare Before Christmas. It's probably one of the greatest movies of all time. But, back to the post, I do something similar to that at school. My favorite band, Queen, has a song called White Queen which is really mysterious and poetic. I like to sit in class with my headphones turned up all the way to the loudest setting and i watch what people are doing, and relate it to the song. Sometimes it's quite funny, especially if there is a dramatic part of the song and I see somebody punch someone else.

I used to do something similar, but in the city: while riding the bus, I would listen to rock music and flit my eyes from one sight to another to the beat, pretending it was a music video in front of my eyes.
