You scored as Batman, the Dark Knight. As the Dark Knight of Gotham, Batman is a vigilante who deals out his own brand of justice to the criminals and corrupt of the city. He follows his own code and is often misunderstood. He has few friends or allies, but finds comfort in his cause. </td> Batman, the Dark Knight 83% Lara Croft 63% Captain Jack Sparrow 63% William Wallace 63% Neo, the "One" 63% Indiana Jones 63% The Amazing Spider-Man 54% The Terminator 54% James Bond, Agent 007 54% El Zorro 50% Maximus 50% Which Action Hero Would You Be? v. 2.0 created with QuizFarm.com

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...

I know what you mean about cell phones. I use it to call people. If I wanted to pay the money, I could do the text message, the mobile Internet, and other things I don't quite understand.
