We Can Hear You Now


Anyway, I can't help noticing you just don't seem to want to do what I want you to do. It would be a much better world if everybody got on my page, as opposed to MySpace. Seems like only a few years ago people were delighted to keep in touch via email and cell phones. Now they Twitter, Face, Space, Google and control satellites from their desktops. Skywriting is fading in popularity and being overshadowed by starwriting, a method which involves aiming the lasers on a satellite at the nearest star and etching your message on the star's surface, making it visible to not only the Joe/Jane of your heart. but all the other Joes/Janes on the planet. Don't blame me if you start getting weird proposals from people you don't know; I'm not the one who told you to be so in touch with everybody.

What? You don't have a laser satellite at your command? Used to be you had to be a billionaire criminal mastermind intent on world domination to have one of those, but they will be coming to Target quite soon I understand. Be patient.Blofeld

My cell phone was shut off during my lengthy flirtation with unemployment, and I can't really say I miss it very much. I no longer get annoying messages at all hours, and I don't feel compelled to hold it to my face and pretend I'm talking just so I won't be the only one in a crowd who's apparently not egotistical important enough that I must keep in constant contact with a boss/co-worker/husband/wife/escort agency. God forbid they should miss the opportunity to voice their innermost thoughts for passersby to hear. Do you find the hands free sets as pretentious as I do? If you happen to be on the wrong side to see the device, the person looks like they are jabbering away to....nobody at all. Disconcerting and a bit spooky. Remember when we used to give lots of TheirSpace to people like that?

That's one reason they bother me, the other reason is so many use them when their hands are completely empty. C'mon! "Hey everybody! I am really special because I have this neat communicator stuck in my ear and now I can carry on conversations and make hand gestures out in public! Cool! I look just like Uhura with this thing."

I do not need to be that much in touch. Ever. Especially now that I have slipped the marital leash, and I'm pretty sure she just wanted me to know she was watching and always aware of where I was at all times. Joke was on her; I rarely turned my phone on.

I think we'd be okay without cellphones... the benefits are very overrated. And I really don't care for it when women walking around the grocery store on bluetooths, talking in their outdoor voices. It's scary!

I agree with Margo, the bluetooth thing is the worst. I always think people are talking to me, and then I try to answer them.

I'd forgotten about skywriting. I need to get my crop duster out of storage...
