I had lunch with my old friend Corrina today. We've known each other since she was a BVSer in 1995. She happens to work right next door to my office building. You'd think that would mean we would get together more often than we do. But we don't. I'm such a homebody I can't even make the effort to plan a movie night. Lunch is easy though. Maybe that's enough.

Tomorrow Sallie and I head up to Uncle Jim and Aunt Marilyn's for Thanksgiving. We'll be eating at our cousin Lauren's with her husband and two kids. It'll take us a little over two hours to get there. I'm not sure we can get ourselves moving in time to get there for lunch. I should buy some snacks for the car. I also need to put gas in the car. My usual station had gas for $1.99 this morning. We'll see if it stays that price by the time I get home. I probably should've stopped. I also need to put J&M's phone number in my cellphone, and charge it tonight!

I just downloaded and installed You Control: Tunes. I wanted something to tell me what song was playing from my newly created iTunes Genius playlist. With You Control, I can have the song name scroll across my menu bar as well as come up as an overlay box that fades in and then back out after a second or two. There are loads of controls so you have lots of say in what it shows you.

The iTunes Genius sorts through your music library and selects songs to go with one you select. I have mine set on Coldplay's Don't Panic with 75 songs sorted by artist. It's a nice mix between a completely random playlist and listening to just one or two artists. I like music to sound similar unlike others I know who can listen to many genres one after the next. That would disturb my ears too much while I'm working.
