odds and ends

Does anyone else think that you should be able to highlight text that's in all caps (because you accidentally hit caps lock) hit caps lock again and magically transform all the text to non-caps? Why has this not worked out so far? It seems so simple, and yet, so awesome

I love the "Game notes" on yahoo's gametracker. For example in the baltimore toronto game right now, Alex Rios and Frank Catalanotto hit back to back home runs in the first inning. In the scoring summary it says that. But, the game notes feels that it's necessary to shout that out at you below in full caps. It's like, thanks, Captain Obvious. What're you going to tell me next, that I'm looking at a page on internet?

It's June 14th, I graduated 1 month and 2 days ago. Do you know where your grades are? Because I don't. Which means I technically haven't graduated. I loved in the graduation ceremony how they were all "Candidate for the Juris Doctorate" and I'm like, Oh, well, that's nice. We could've had that ceremony on the second day of class. I was a freakin candidate then too.

So I've been listening to Pandora more recently. I think Pandora's quite emotional, actually. I'll be listening along and it'll play some songs I like, so I reward it with a thumbs up on the song. Then it's all happy and plays me some songs I like. However, sometimes, Pandora needs to be disciplined. Such as the rare occasion it decides to play me Celine Dion. So I give it the thumbs down. Pandora then feels bad, and changes tune. Because I have such an eclectic music selection in my Pandora selection, you really can tell the difference. For a while, it was poppy female singers. Then came Celine Dion. I sent Pandora to it's room without dinner, and we got to more hard rock, male singers. Much better.

Speaking of Pandora and the weird songs it plays, has anyone heard the Liz Phair song "Favorite"? All I can say is Liz Phair is odd, and that I strangely somewhat like the song. Here's the chorus, reprinted for your viewing pleasure

Oh baby know what your like?
You're like my favorite underwear
It just feels right, you know it
Oh baby know how you feel?
You feel like my favorite underwear
And I'm slipping you on again tonight
Slipping you on again tonight
Wrap me and roll me, hold me tight
Tear me apart and make me new
Like you always do

That's sorta disturbing. Then again, I've never really been one that's that picky about lyrics.

Other notes: The word "blog" is fairly disgusting, isn't it? Sounds like the burp that happens when you throw up a little in your mouth.
