It's not like I've had it for years
This morning I finally tried to figure out how to change the time in my new car and in pressing buttons found I have a randomize button on my 6-disc CD player. Poor man's mp3 player!

You are my fire
On my drive up to TC I found a fabulous/horrible radio station. The 7p DJ seemed to play only schmoopy dedications with strong religious overtones. One woman called in to play a dedication for her husband, whom she has been with for 8 years, and was currently overseas in the military. After a touching if diabetic tribute to him she dedicated the song I Want it That Way by The Backstreet Boys. Number 1, I'm old enough now that married couples have The Backstreet Boys as their song? And two, um, the lyrics seem to think it's a break-up song.

This gave me a fabulous idea, though. Wouldn't it be fun to dedicate songs to your loved ones that were wholly inappropriate or just plain awful? Hilarious. Too bad for me and my friends that NPR doesn't do dedications.
