i found this old semisonic cd tucked away in my cd book. this is their first cd, and one of the songs on it is called "f.n.t." this stands for "fascinating new thing," and it raises the question, "why didn't they just call the song 'fascinating new thing?'" they never use the initials f.n.t. in the song, so, it's like, why bother acronyming the title? where they looking to start a new fad? "how's that boy you just met?" "great! he's my f.n.t." i'm sorry, i just don't see it catching on.

it's a horrible cd, with lyrics like, "temptation lives alone and she works all day." who's temptation? does she look good in a skirt? but, oh, how i love the bad cds. prince and shania twain and shakira. remember "frente?"

i do. what a year that was.
