Another movie night, having done over 400 multiple choice questions today (didn't mark them yet - although I know I got 50% on the first two). Felt it was appropriate to relax a little bit, and get up early again tomorrow. Previously, I've written about Fitzcarraldo; I also previously watched that in this house, the house of the chickens, a year or more after I'd first seen it. Magnificent. But tonight, was a night of Alain Resnais.

Telephones - I'm not too good with them. I guess a lot of people could tell you that anyway, but I'm really not, and I dislike them, too - whatever happened to letter writing, sticking to agreements (like, i'm gonna meet you at such-and-such a time) or just doing the work cos it's a) enjoyable and b) got to be done - not watching the clock?

I'm reminded of all this as the phone just rang and I couldn't figure out how to answer it. Ha! It had rung yesterday and I'd assumed the battery hadn't charged properly because the phone might have been askew on the stand. Turns out, it wasn't charged again today, either, which prompted me to start pressing buttons at random. And, lo! It works.
