Technilogically Challenged!

Just when I think I've taken a step into this technological world of ours, something happens to remind me how little I really understand. We've recently had to change our wireless cell phone service which meant we had to have new phones. After more than a year I'd just barely begun to figure out some of the features on my old phone, but I had become fond of the calendar feature that let you schedule future events and then set off a reminder alarm. My new calendar feature is pretty different and I've spent a great deal of time trying to figure out how it works. Apparently not enough time! In the early hours of the morning (12:30 AM, to be exact) my phone alarm began ringing loudly to remind me of an appointment. It was actually pretty comical as Ken and I both tried to wake up enough to figure out what was going on and where I'd laid the phone when I went to bed. As you've probably guessed, the appointment was really for 12:30 PM and after finally silencing the phone, we wearily crawled back to bed. :-)

Silence is Golden - Part 2

Some of you may remember a time a few months ago when tragedy struck and took out our Satellite and DVR. Much to my dismay, I'd lost the opportunity to watch one of the earliest silent vampire films, Nosferatu. I've looked for it to be shown again, but no luck. (sigh)

Just before leaving for New York, luck was with me! While shopping at a local outlet store, there was a copy of Nosferatu for only $1.99! I had to buy it and have been waiting patiently to watch it. Justin had told me that if it came on again, he would watch it with me so today I let him in on the good news! :-) He gamely smiled and said of course, he'd watch it with me. Then, with a sly grin on his face, he said "I know . . . why don't you bring it down to my place so we can watch with my surround sound!" Hmmmm . . .
