( action hero quiz stolen from vree )
Abnormally long-feeling day. There's construction in and around my building, so I spent much of the day inhaling plaster powder, paint fumes, and the stink of tar :( Headache city.
In good news, our new cell phones arrived today. With D.'s job search and my increasing roadtrip habits, D. pointed out it would be a really good idea for us to have cellular phones again. Still playing tech support tag to get them running, but they are slick :)
I have to admit - I'm a luddite where certain technologies are concerned, and cellular phones are one of them. I have no need to play video games, or download funky (and annoying) ringtones, or listen to music. I just want to make a call, dammit! And I'm kind of tetchy about the subject of button size - one of my stranger repeating nightmares is that I can't see or can't press the right buttons when I really need to make a call (like, Republicans are chasing with a crucifix and holy water or something) and this has invaded my waking life in the form of needing fingertip-sized buttons. This was the only real requirement I asked of D. when he was shopping around and these phones (Motorola 815E) have good-sized buttons.
They also have a camera and their own browser (!) and probably countless other things I'll discover when I read the user manual. Call me naive, but this is the first cellphone I've had in at least 2 years and it's staggering to me how far the technology has advanced for features like this to be called "basic"!
Time to eat some dinner before I go fence...
