Even in Kyoto

I must say that I agree completely with reenigne's latest post regarding telephones. However, good phone conversations with long-distance friends are an exception to the general interruption rule. It's interesting how cell phones have changed phone conversation etiquitte as well. I have a hard time ignoring a ringing cell-o-phone, and caller ID makes me feel especially guilty. Oh well.

In other news--I went and saw "Prime" yesterday. Not the most spectacular of films, but oh well. The highlight was definitely one of the side characters, a friend of the hero who never made it past first dates with girls. In revenge, he would ring their doorbells and smash a cream pie into their faces. That reminded me of the year that I gave annikusrex a "cream pie" in the face for her birthday. She had been talking about an Alanis Morisette (remember her?) music video that contained a cream pie fight and thought it would be really fun. So I bought a banana and some whipped cream and came over to her house, and when she opened the front door, I smashed it in her face! Her shriek was incredible. Unfortunately, the whipped cream traveled clear past annikus and onto the jackets in the closet behind her. The dry cleaning was a bit expensive, but totally worth it.

Well. I feel like lounging around all afternoon, but I know I have things to get done. If only I could remember just what I need to get done...Oh well.
