D'oh phone

10:24am JST Monday 14 April 2003

D'oh!

Still no phone. I went back to the store where I imagine I lost it, but they hadn't seen it. They suggested I go to the police.

The police!

What an amazing society where the police actually have time to be concerned over a phone.. In Houston cops can't even keep up with the number of cars that are stolen each day, much less lost phones!

So I told the police at the local police box I had lost my phone. They took my information, including the phone number (thank goodness I had memorized it!!!!) and my address (thank goodness I have it on my computer cause I have not memorized it!!) and where I work. I don't have that number memorized, but thank goodness for phone books so they can look it up!

Best part was how he told me something that would happen next. He was all, "yamma yamma yammera" and I'm like "Erh?" so he drew a picture.

Aright.

I borrowed his pen and wrote "We will send you a letter." thereby putting my teaching skills to work in real life.

I'm going to stop by Gera Gera to email Janette and Wende that I'm phoneless for now.

Got home from work and my phone was magically on my desk on top of a postcard from Janette!

I plan to get a longer string/handle thing for my phone, maybe a retractable one that keeps it attached to me. That might be a bit obnoxious or look stupid, but I'm certainly thankful to have my phone back.

Life is beautiful.

And I have the next two days off work. Nice.

Taxi Driver

1:37am JST Tuesday 15 April 2003

Watched Taxi Driver tonight. I don't get why he'd be so focused on killing Palantine and then seem to not be focused on it at the end.

I recognized Jodie Foster before I knew she was in the movie.
