small victories

[rm]

Patty has safely arrived either in Oman or at her dig site (not sure), but said Internet seemed reliable, so maybe dig site.

and I finally got the new phone to do something cool.

Is it wrong that I just set my new ringtone to be London Calling? That's fucked up, right? Oh, hey, they also have that song by The Killers I'm obsessed with.

*laughs like an idiot*

Dunno: it's certainly got a very distinctive intro. I kinda like it.

London Calling is one of my favorite ringtones, and only very special people get that ring. ;) But being a huge Clash fan who spent four years in London may mean I am biased.

Dig site? I missed something. Is patty an archaeologist?

[rm.livejournal.com]

Yup.

Sweet! So's Betsy intrepida. She's just sent off her app to NYU for that very thing.

Wait, we both fence, our girls are archaeos.....hmmm....

Curiouser and curiouser.

It may get weirder. Patty's a third (I think, maybe fourth?) year in the PhD program at NYU.

Tell me it's not for anything having to do with Rome/Byzantium....

Nope. Bronze age, Indus Valley.

PS - I hope Patty remains safe in Oman.

I was just in a grocery store, and what should come on but "Should I Stay or Should I Go?"

Okay, how creepy is it that The Clash is now in Muzak?

Oman is such a wondrous, beautiful place. I must say that I feel a twinge of envy that your gal is there.

When we first started dating, my husband put that as my personal ringtone. It stayed that way until we moved to Italy and had to get a different phone.
He had Fuck The Police for his work and, No Phone (by Cake) for anonymous callers.

One of my ringtones is "Ring Ring" by ABBA. I wish I had thought of London Calling - that one is much cooler.

Glad Patty has arrived safely at the dig - hope it's productive!

We do live by the river...
