Yesterday morning I asked Alexa to play upbeat music. She replied with something like, “Here’s a playlist based on songs similar to ones you’ve liked.” Or something like that.
The first song up was La Bamba. “Cool,” I thought. I’m using that song in a scene from Wedding at the Happy Valley Motor Inn and Resort! What a coincidence!
The second song up was Elvis Presley’s I Can’t Help Falling in Love with You. Huh. Another song I used in Wedding. That was weird.
The third song was of no consequence, so I let my guard down, but number four was Tomorrow from the musical Annie. Holy cow! It’s probably the least likely song to appear on my playlist, but again, I’m using it in Wedding.
I’m wondering what else Alexa’s keeping an eye on. A character I have yet to name? My main character’s decision regarding her love interest? Heck, maybe I can get Alexa to finish the sequel! She seems to know it all anyway.
Peace, people!
Alexa has become very smart.😂

Be careful. Be very very careful. One day Alexa popped up on my screen. I muttered to myself “Oh do go away” and got the reply “That’s very rude”. Great cartoon

Lol! The title started out Big Brother, but since Alexa is a feminine sounding name changed it.

We have no idea how much our technology knows about us… even in Happy Valley!

That’s possible! I talk to myself all the time. And, I used a snippet of a scene containing Tomorrow on a facebook writers page, so that’s likely how it made the playlist.

Alexa’s like another family member here at Casa MarTar. We even have her pick albums to play from our collection. I have to say, she has excellent taste.

I’ve set up several different playlists via Alexa depending on the genre I’m writing. None of the songs that she played yesterday are on any of my playlists—they’re just mentioned in my current work in progress. So Twilight Zone-ish!

Alexia is always listening and at times seems to be all knowing. Have you asked her to finish the sequel for you and see what she says? 😉

I’m almost afraid she’ll say “yes!”
