My brother has Vonage as his phone service, so I used his phone to call the UK this morning since I can’t place international phone calls on my current cell phone plan… my three-hour call to the UK this morning (to chat with my friend Michelle) was only $7.08. I gave my brother a $10 bill and told him to, “Keep the change, kid.”

It was wonderful to catch up with Michelle in the UK. It’s always nice to realize (again) that your friendship can basically pick up where it left off - whether it was 2 weeks or 6 months ago - and that there’s no penalty for having been too depressed or poor or self-pitying to call. Yay, friendship!

Right now, Amanda is playing Katamari Damacy on my PS2 and is trying to build the moon… I’ve taken to calling her “Kali, the Destroyer” since she’s rolling over office buildings, small islands, oil tankers, and even giant octopi. Yes, it’s a fun game.

I also just checked my Stumbleupon homepage and saw that I had a new review. Users review other users basically to praise their taste in “Stumbles” (websites) and other such fun ego-petting. I received a comment from a gentleman in Ireland who stated, “I think i’ve got a bit of a brain crush on her.” That’s OK flattery… I can accept a brain crush graciously. According to UrbanDictionary.com, a brain crush is “wanting someone purely for their mind - has nothing to do with sexual attraction.”

Hey. That’s fine by me. I’m not currently comfortable with being a sexual being, so do enjoy my mind. It’s my best feature! I’m still entertaining the idea of creating a “Why You Should Pick Me” brochure as a humorous self-marketing device and experiment, complete with bulleted lists of features and testimonials from my friends and associates. I could use my design and writing skills to create it in Adobe InDesign and then make it a downloadable PDF. I was also thinking of creating a blank template that other ladies can download - complete with a space for a passport-sized photo and lists with boxes to check off to indicate turn-ons, turn-offs and mad skills you may possess, along with “make-your-own lists” for those of us who have additional things to offer.

I think the testimonials would be highly entertaining. Very much so.

Time to eat some lunch.
