I am disgruntled with T-Mobile. They won’t give me the phone that I want, the Samsung E715. Basically, if I weren’t already a T-Mobile customer, I could get the phone for $50 and keep my number. Since I am already a customer, the only way to get the phone for $50 is to change my number. If I want to keep my number and stay with T-Mobile, I have to pay $250. This makes no sense!! So now I’m debating whether to switch companies or not. If anyone wants to chime in with praise for Cingular, Verizon, AT&T, or someone else, now is the time to do it.
Last night I was really out of it, after staying at work late and then getting stuck in traffic on my drive home (which is rather absurd, seeing as how my drive home is only about 2 miles). I had planned to go to the mall, and to the grocery store, and ended up doing neither. There was enough in my freezer to make stir fry, so I did manage to feed myself for another day despite the desperate lack-of-groceries situation. I don’t know why, but I just don’t like going to the grocery store, and always end up avoiding it for as long as possible. So I stayed home, and watched Friends, and watched that new show “The Apprentice” with Donald Trump. I didn’t really pay much attention to either, but just ended up sitting on the floor for two hours zoned out and thinking about things.
I often end up sitting on the floor leaning against the couch rather than just sitting on the couch. I can’t really think of anyone else I know who does this, so perhaps it is a bit weird. I never really thought about it until last night when I realized I’d watched the entire hour and a half TV show from the floor.
Anyway. At 9 I was aimlessly channel surfing when I came across the movie “Playing by Heart.” It came out sometime during college, but I never saw it in the theater; I get the impression that it didn’t do that well, despite having a wonderfully eclectic cast of Angelina Jolie (in my favorite of her many roles), Gillian Anderson, Sean Connery, Anthony Edwards, Dennis Quaid, Jon Stewart, Ryan Phillippe, etc. Whenever I see it on TV, I always stop channel flipping, and I can’t watch the movie without thinking of Christina. It’s one of her favorites. I can guess why she likes it, because it’s probably for a lot of the same reasons that I ended up liking it when I finally saw it, and every time since. It’s about love, and relationships. I guess if that sounds interesting to you, I’d recommend you go watch it, but I don’t really want to try to explain it any more. I’m not really good with explaining movies, or why I like or don’t like them. But this one always reminds me of one of my other favorite movie quotes:
I don’t want to be in love. I want to be in love in a movie.
I’m glad it’s the weekend.
