It is Friday, March 6, 2009. Anyone born today will have the star sign Pisces. People have "that Friday feeling" and are excited for the weekend.

Spring is creeping in, and the evenings are starting to get brighter. In America, the song "Right Round" by Flo-Rida ft Ke$ha is at the top of the singles charts, while "My Life Would Suck Without You" by Kelly Clarkson is the number-one song in the UK.

On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "ER", "Cold Case", "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition", and "The Hills". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Super Smash Bros. Brawl", "Dead Space", "Fable II", and "Call of Duty: World at War".
