you should only need one seed, surely and from that generate a list of random numbers as long as you need. So current-time() should be sufficient. If you generate a new seed every time and from each of those seeds generate a single number you are unlikely to get the same randomness properties you get by running a random number generator to generate a sequence from a single seed.
