"I'm a dork, she's so cool. I'm ugly, she's beautiful. She's so smart, I'm just a fool..."

Name that band! I only know of two guys who could answer this one
without looking it up. One of them is in Hiroshima, so he's out of
the running. The other is still out there somewhere... Actually I
know exactly where, but telling would take all the fun out of things.

I'm listening to Randy Newman right now. He's way awesome. If you
think you don't even recognize him, think again. If you've seen Toy
Story or Monster's Inc., then you know him. He does a lot of cool
stuff with the piano. I like him, check him out.

Yesterday was Strawberry Sundae Day, and today is Video Games Day.

Today is the birthday of such celebrities as:
Don Carlos, 1545
Percy Grainger, 1882 (AWESOME GUY!)
Kevin Bacon, 1958
Karl Dykhuis, 1972

And the following people died today:
Edgar, King of England, 975
Christian Huygens, 1695
William Cadbury, 1957

And some things happened:
Paris is founded, 951
NATO invites Poland, Hungary & Czech Republic to join, 1997

The other stuff is mostly boring. For me, anyway. You can look it up
yourselves if you'd like.

I am not really in the mood to look stuff up and report. I'm going to ramble.

The word 'earwig' comes from Old English. The 'ear' part means 'ear'
(as in corn), and the 'wig' part is a shortened form of the word that
used to mean 'to wiggle'. I guessed that much, then I looked it up
and I was right. Bully for me.

I just ran out of Ramble Energy. I am dead tired today. And I'm
done. Sorry this is so weaksauce.

buenas, i was very much hoping you could give me the name of the band who's lyrics you quoted in the headline of your july 8th 2004 post. i believe it read as follows: "i'm a dork, man she's so cool, i'm ugly shes beautiful, she's so smart, i'm just a fool.
