Music challenge rankings, stupid names for fish, and a useful Caller ID site

High-scoring words of the night so far:

PASTIME (112 points) - against Matthew F. [4W, 2W]
UNMIX (292 points) - against Maiken H. [4W, hook off RARE to make URARE]


Curtis Sanford is no longer a Canuck, since Roberto Luongo is back and Jason LaBarbara is still doing well. PETA stupidly wants to rename fish to "sea kittens." Sorry, but I'm Chinese, and will continue to eat them! Besides, I'm not wasting the money I just spent on twelve cans of sockeye salmon the other day! (and apparently, Sidekicks are on sale at Safeway for 99 cents each - I haven't had those in YEARS, dude!)

Michelle checked out the Ohio phone number since she got curious, and told me to look up 800 Notes and Call Display - sweet! Despite what Jake thinks, it is a real number and NOT a spoof. Now I'm just having noodles and taking the iLike music challenge since I maxed out on the number of songs I can like with that application: only 2000?! CRIMINAL, DUDE!

There is a ranking system with that music challenge, to be augmented as I come across new levels:

Music Rookie: 0-100 points
Music Novice: 101-200 points
Music Intern: 201-300 points
Music Explorer: 301-500 points
Music Pioneer: 501-1000 points
Music Junkie: 1001-2500 points
Music Expert: 2501-5000 points
Music Genius: 5000-10,000 points

Your Friendship Style is Empathetic

You deeply care about each person you're friends with. For you, friendship is all about the personal connection. You tend to know everything about your friends' lives... and they know everything about yours. Your friends are your confidants. You are always there for your friends. You celebrate their successes and support them in their times of need. You are as loyal as they come. And you expect the same loyalty and understanding from your friends in return. You and another Empathetic Friend: Have a amazing friendship, when it works. You care for each other deeply, but you often end up with hurt feelings and drama. You and a Gregarious Friend: May have a bit of a one sided friendship. You adore your Social Friend, but you sometimes feel a bit neglected. You and an Independent Friend: Struggle a bit. You are very interested in your Independent Friend's life, but your friend often needs more space. You and a Philosophical Friend: Respect one another. You love to learn about your Philosophical Friend's brilliant ideas.
