by day the blue will pale down into white where it touches the white of the land, after sunset it has a new circumference-orange, melting upwards into tenderest purple. but the core of blue persists, and so it is by night. then the stars hang like lamps from the immense vault. the distance between the vault and them is as nothing to the distance behind them, and that farther distance, though beyond colour, last freed itself from blue. -e.m. forster (a passage to india)
she's listening to my samsung smartphone. i upgraded last year when i lost my regular cell (which i still miss, believe it or not . . it was a lot easier to text with . . or course it's fun to have this fancy phone now. it was free . . unbelievably . . they're just happy to have you pay for the service per month . . and new ones come out each year). anyway, it's good you don't have a cell phone! my neighbor across the hall doesn't have one either.
When we were in Vienna we had to have them in case of an emergency with the students. So I carried one around all the time. When I went to meet my friend I knew from my university years we were running late and I tried texting her in order to save minutes. That completely backfired because I wasn't used to doing it. I kept sending her messages like "Nein" or "Ich" or "Es ist," but never a complete sentence. It was awful and I finally called her. I was trying to let her know we were on our way, but texting was not the answer for me.
Now, is that an iPod, iPhone, or what? I'm completely in the dark with those things. I don't even have a cell phone :).
