So you know, a few weeks ago, I turned the little album art window on in iTunes so I could stare at the album art while music played, but I had to leave iTunes open for that. And a bunch of times I thought, you know, the miniplayer version of iTunes should totally have room for the album art in it! And I was sad. But it didn't occur to me to, you know, check, and then today I discovered that, in fact, you can pop out the album art and resize it and make it hover on top of things right along with the mini player. Now I'm staring at the completely unmoving album art all through the song as if it's something special or something.
I spent 80% of today reading about sociology's third granddaddy (Weber is kind of my favourite granddaddy, but I like Durkheim's theories better, in spite of all his positivist and functionalist leanings) until my brain liquefied. The result of that was that I had sociology on the brain when I checked my friendslists and saw yet another cluster of people who I really, really hope are as well-meaning as they are set on changing the subject away from racism. I restrained myself from scanning textbook pages demonstrating the relevant terms, because it's not like you couldn't find out from Google or like these are particularly arcane theoretical concepts. But just for the record, "status" doesn't mean "amount of love someone is deserving of", nor does "skill" mean "exhausting".
ALSO. I've been buying and rereading all of Georgette Heyer's mysteries. And, well, the last one I picked up totally shocked me by going to the twincest place in the first chapter. Heyer + twincest = \o/
