Geeky Cat Miusings

Well it has been a lively and entertaining week. On Saturday I went to see Sex in the City with a group of friends. We dressed up in dresses and heels in honour of the occasion. The movie was fun - if you like the series, you’ll enjoy the movie. It is not a great movie but still enjoyable. I find certain things implausible…I just don’t buy into the idea that the four characters are such close friends that speak to each other daily and drop everything to run to their buddies when one sheds a tear. Their personalities just don’t fit into the mould that is scripted for them by the writers. There is much that doesn’t jive with me - I can detect some BS in the story. I wanted Mr. Big to just blow away. But then Carrie would never be happy since she absolutely needs a man with a big wallet to support her clothes and shoe habit. I can’t believe she kept that ballerina outfit. Yuck!

And nobody in my group had cosmopolitans that night.

On Sunday I went to see Kismet at the Fairview Library. I really enjoyed it. It was a light bit of fluff with funny characters and good singing. Here is a tune from the musical (from the movie version). I think Milene will enjoy this.

On Monday I went to see the doctor about my toe. I broke my toe six months ago and I continue to have problems with it. I don’t think my family doctor knows too much about the matter but at least she referred me to a sports medicine clinic for diagnosis and treatment. I wonder if there was something else that could have been done to speed the healing process. The toe aches a bit in my normal daily life and can hurt a bit much if I exercise by doing aerobics or yoga, or if I wear high heels.

On Wednesday I used the spa services at my work place to get a manicure and pedicure. The students in the Esthetician Program work at the spa to practice the skills they have learned in the classroom. They are considered knowledgeable of giving manicures and pedicures after they complete the first semester of the program. I found out that the program is more intensive than I assumed — the students need to know a lot about anatomy and memorize the muscle names. I don’t normally go to the spa but I thought it would be good to support the students at the college and get my feet ready for wearing sandals. I picked a great nail polish colour — it goes very well with my shoes!

On Thursday, after talking about it for about a year, I finally bought a new cell phone. My old cell phone didn’t have text messaging, camera, browser, etc. It was just a basic eight year old cell phone. I learned how to use most of its features pretty quickly and updated my Facebook status on my bus ride home. I used the + sign to mark spaces in my message because I didn’t know how to insert a space, but I figured it out before I got home. I also browsed the internet, read the news, and sent a picture message. I changed the ringtone to Diana Krall’s Peel Me a Grape song. It costs $3 to download a ringtone but I just played the song on my computer and recorded it on the phone. I’m not sure why people download ringtones.
