What a shrill, pointless decade. Not necessarily the songs I would've picked, but isn't that always the way? Besides, I'm glad they got some punk in there.

'I Want Candy' was on the list for a while, but they got rid of it. I was thinking it might've been because of nudie photos of the then-teenaged Annabeth Lwin, but, hey, 'Seventeen' is in there, and it's one of the most jailbait-y songs since 'I Saw Her Standing There.'

Correction: Annabella Lwin, not Annabeth. What do I look like, a Bowwowwologist?

I just had what's probably the luckiest, and best, single Scrabble play of my life. QUALITY QI UN AN, with the Q and the A on Double Letter Score spaces and the Y on a Double Word Score. Plus it's a bingo. It was something like 130 points for one play. To paraphrase the ending of a joke, you may wonder why I'm telling you this. Well, I'm telling everybody.
