After I wrote last night’s entry, I gave some more thought to doing a Sweeps Week here on the blog. If TV networks can devote a whole month to credibility-straining plots with heavy doses of sex and violence, I see no reason why I can’t do the same thing in my little media corner. Some ideas are knocking about in my head and I think it could be a fun experiment. But I think it will have to wait until I get back from Europe so that I can give the concept proper attention it deserves.
I’ve been meaning to get a new cell phone for a while, so today I called up T-Mobile and ordered a Motorola V188. It’s a quad-band phone, which means I’ll be able to use it overseas. But with roaming charges of $.99 per minute in France and Germany, I won’t be having an extended conversation with anyone back in the States. But maybe I can text message some of my friends from the Eiffel Tower and make them all jealous. And it will be nice to have a phone handy in case I need to call the American Embassy from a Parisian jail. Not that I’m planning on getting arrested or anything, but sometimes misunderstandings occur.
