Why can't cell phones just ring anymore? I got a new cellphone yesterday, and it's very cool, but every ringtone is loud & complicated & embarassing. Right now I have it on Vivaldi's Four Seasons, but I might change it back to Bolero. Either way, I wish it would just go rrriiiing! Oh well. It's cool anyway- it's got a camera! So I can take blurry, low-resolution photos & send them to you all day long! yay! & it has my same old phone number, so that's cool too. (It's taking awhile to switch the number over, tho... so I can call from my new phone, but if you call me, my old phone rings. So I'm carry both) :-)
Today we're supposed to go hiking with Brody & Jessie & Chris. Tho it's looking very cloudy & cold & it's supposed to rain today. I hope we go anyway, tho. Last week I went hiking & wore jeans & swore I would only wear shorts from now on. But it's really cold out today, so I may wear jeans again. & then complain when I get hot anyway... hee hee
We went to see “Fog of War” last night- it's a documentary about Robert McNamara, who was a guy I'd never heard of before :) But he was secretary of defense during the Cold War & Vietnam, so it was really fascinating to hear his take on everything from his perspective now. It would have had more impact, I think, if I were older & had actually lived through those events & had my own opinions & personal feelings on them like he does, but it was pretty cool anyway. Tho, it would have been just as cool & probably more comfortable if we had been home watching it on PBS. It was a packed theater (only showing on 1 screen in the entire Valley) with lots of old people (see observation above), including a woman who would go “Uh huh,” or “Hmmmm,” everytime McNamara would make an interesting point, which was about every 10 seconds. And there was also a guy with an oxygen machine, so every 15 seconds or so, everyone could hear “Ptssssh-shhoooo” from the machine. I think quiet documentaries are not meant to be shared with 100 other people.
Ok, gonna go get ready to go hiking... and hope it doesn't rain! :)
Have a great day!
