Randomness

You think it's easy? I don't think so. :-)

Elsewhere in my internet travels, I ran across another very helpful tool, The Blackadder Quote Generator. You'll get words to live by, such as: "If nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through. "

Today, I saw the first display of real, true class in a long time. Thanks, Jeanne.

And why are we turning into a nation with the most obnoxious cellphone ringers around? On the train tonight, I heard no fewer than 10 really loud and annoying "polyphonic" cellphone ringtones. Fur Elise, the "I Dream of Jeannie" theme song, some Mozart thing I can't remember the name to but I've heard it millions of times, and I can't remember the others. It used to be that all we had to contend with were obnoxious cellphone users-- now their rings are worse.

My favorite, though, was one I heard the other day: not only was there a loud, polyphonic thing playing, but over the song, this lady's phone had a voice saying "Attention: you have an incoming call." Where did she get her phone? Cingular Brainless?

All I know is that when I'm in charge, we're going back to a simple chime (bells are nice, you know?) on all cellphones. And I will be the sole arbiter of who should carry a cellphone in the first place. Arrrrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhh.

Okay, I'm better now.

I was listening to Wings' "Band on the Run" CD the other night. This was a great album, and proof that Paul could come up with something really good when he put his mind to it.
