Condiment Calling
Condiment Calling
Seriously, my innate stupidity knows no bounds. I'm also a complete moron with any form of technology (one of the few things I share with my gender).
I've lived a pretty backwards life because of control, and then poverty, so it's not that surprising to me that I'm not up on the greatest and newest. But when you can't even “run” a set of earbuds for your laptop, and handle the concept of “surround sound”, things are getting out of hand. I was watching White Collar using Hulu on my laptop just now. There was again no internet in my house, so I'm at a restaurant, where I've been ensconced in this comfy corner booth for five hours now. And there was this weird dinging, somewhat bell/somewhat tone sound coming from my right quarter. I actually took my eyes off the screen twice and looked for the silly thing. Was I supposed to answer something ? What was that sound ?
After the seemingly long moments from kneejerk stupidity to intelligent sanity, I realized it was some sound effect on the show that wasn't filmed, only heard. But seriously, what did I think I was supposed to ANSWER, here in the same booth I've been in for 5 hours, and it was apparent it wasn't my ringtone.
Was the SALT calling to me ? That was the closest. Or was it a more exotic and exciting summons from the gourmet malt vinegar ? Maybe the “fancy tomato ketchup” fancied me ? Yeah, it mustard been that. (Boo hiss.)
