Go out anyway.
Go see that movie that you want to see, but probably won't be able to get your friends to want to go to.
Go for a bike ride.
Go to the bookstore, get a latte, and browse.
Go window shopping. For a guy I guess that would mean go to a car dealership and test drive something cool, etc.
Don't sit here and be insulted by people for putting a little effort into your typing.

Which words in a typical American-English title do you write with the first letter in upper-case, and which in lower-case?
- There are many different ways in using capitalization in titles.
Three of the most common ways are:
1. The "The Chicago Manual of Style" says the following about
capitalization in titles:
"
-Always capitalize the first and the last word.
-Capitalize all nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, and
subordinate conjunctions ("as", "because", "although").
-Lowercase all articles, coordinate conjunctions ("and", "or", "nor"),
and prepositions regardless of length, when they are other than the
first or last word.
-Lowercase the "to" in an infinitive."

2. "Capitalize in Heading and Title:
-First and last word
-Nouns, pronouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives
-Subordinating conjunctions (for example: before, after, when...)
-Hyphenated compound words
-First word following a colon
Do Not Capitalize:
-Articles (a, an, the)
-Coordinating conjunctions (and, but, or, nor, so)
-The word 'to' when it precedes a verb
-Prepositions with fewer than five letters."

3. "-Capitalize all nouns, verbs (including is and other forms of to be),
adverbs (including than and when), adjectives (including this and
that), and pronouns (including its).
-Always capitalize the first and last words, regardless of their part
of speech ("The Text to Look For").
-Capitalize prepositions that are part of a verb phrase ("Backing Up Your Disk").
-Do not capitalize articles (a, an, the) unless an article is the
first word in the title.
-Do not capitalize coordinate conjunctions (and, but, for, nor, or).
-Do not capitalize prepositions of four or fewer letters.
-Do not capitalize to in an infinitive phrase ("How to Format Your Hard Disk").
-Capitalize the second word in compound words if it is a noun or
proper adjective or the words have equal weight (Cross-Reference,
Pre-Microsoft Software, Read/Write Access, Run-Time). Do not
capitalize the second word if it is another part of speech or a
participle modifying the first word (How-to, Take-off)."
Source: Capitalization of Headings and Titles
http://www.tc-forum.org/topicmai/ml03capi.htm
A more simple method is the following:
"...that the first word and all the 'main' words in a title should
have initial capitals, and all the 'joining' words should be left in
lower case, e.g.:
To Be, or Not to Be, That is the Question.
Business Case for Selling Fridges to Eskimos."

http://www.tc-forum.org/topicmai/ml03capi.htm
Finally, the following bit of advice:
"There are many modern style guides and they are much more liberal
than the traditional ones: you can make your own decision what you can
do, what you want to do - but once you have, stick to it!"
