Outgoing Communique

I downloaded Skype several months ago, but never really used it much because I didn’t know many people who used it. But then I signed up for SkypeOut last night. It’s way cool. I can call land lines and cell phones from my computer independently. And people on the other end seem to hear me much better than on a regular phone. All I need now is a USB headset so that the person on the other end can’t be overheard on my computer speakers. And it’d be nice if people could call me from a regular phone and the call would go directly to Skype, but I think that feature is probably another twelve months away, at least. What’s really cool is that I’ll be able to load up Skype onto my nurse’s laptop and taunt people back home when it’s still, like, four in the morning their time.
The new blinds that were installed on one of my living room windows just a few weeks ago unceremoniously fell out of the ceiling last night. And now the sun is shining directly through that window and onto me and my desk. I feel like one side of my body is being grilled like a cheese sandwich. But am i going to move? Hell, no. At least not until I start seeing spots.
