Quiet weekend with me and my broken phone...
My phone finally died its sad death last Saturday (12/2) at Karyna & Joe's. It broke clear in half. I don't know why I'm so tough on my phones, but this is the 2nd one I've broken in less than a year. Sad really. So I get the replacement and I go to the Sprint store today to get the phonebook transferred. They have me wait 30 minutes to be seen, then they take my phone and tell me to come back in another 30. I do and have to wait another 10 minutes before the guy brings me back the phones and says "you're all set". At which point I walk outside, turn it on, and there are no entries in my phonebook!?!? I go back in and he says "oh yeah, they said they couldn't transfer the information. I don't know why, but if they can't do it, probably no one can. Sorry." WHY didn't you tell me that when you gave me back my phone? What completely AWFUL customer service. Now I'm going to have to enter everyone by hand. BTW, if anyone has a new #, now is the time to tell me...
So since my phone's been out of service and it was just plain nasty outside weather-wise, I pretty much decided it would be a good weekend to relax at home. It was nice to be so insulated and relaxed. I hung out with Nemesis (my cat) and we cuddled a lot. She's *much* more friendly in the winter! I baked a batch of Oatmeal Chocolate Walnut Cookies. I just love when the kitchen gets all warm and the whole house smells like cookies. That's the best. I watched some movies (Miami Vice, Footloose and Top Gun). Miami Vice was alright, but not all that. I *still* get 5-year-old-dance-around-the-room-rediculously-happy when I watch Footloose, and that frightens me. And I watched the commentary version of Top Gun, which was pretty interesting -- they had the technical experts/Navy guys telling you what was factual and what was Hollywood. SO much of that movie was Hollywood. I won't even go into it.
Also, I talked to Liana for a long while about all the things that are bothering me right now.(Insert appropriate Quote from TG: "The list is long, but distinguished." "Yeah, well so is my Johnson." Sorry, back to the point...) She always puts things into perspective for me *just* right. Her knowledge and experience and perspectives compliment mine. She's always able to explain those parts of human behavior that I don't like to analyze or even believe exist, and I'm able to do the same for her. Maybe it's just that when our particular emotions are concerned, everyone becomes blind and dumb: we get this tunnel vision and we develop the story in our minds like we want it to be, and we defend against even percieving, let alone acknowledging, the blaring evidence to the contrary. Maybe it's just Liana and I, though I doubt it. ;) The point that I'm trying to make, is that it's important to have someone to bounce your reality off of, someone to help break down the components of human behavior, as needed. Otherwise you risk existing in a bubble of half-truths, misunderstandings and transference, and that's BAD. Anyway, thanks girlie for the perspectives. I needed them.
