- Calling card successfully obtained. Patty's cellphone seems to be in a non-coverage area at the moment though. Waaaah, I was all looking forward to hearing her smiling voice, hopefully we'll experience the magic of communication in some form or another this weekend. Also, I know she's sent me two letters, but neither has been received yet.

- Saw an ex-lover on the street this morning. He looked terrible. He's twenty years older than me and always looked older than his age, so it's not surprising, but it still shook me. He looked at me curiously, wondering, I suppose, if he should recognize me. I only recognized him by the walk, and that same stupid bomber jacket he's had all these years. I'm surprised I don't run into him more often; he lives right near here, but it threw me, and made me sad for the little overhwhelmed girl that I was -- so much power and no idea what to do with it other than apoligize for it.

Every time I read calling card I think of it in the old sense and am momentarily confused when you talk about phones.

Oh good. I thought it was just me. :)

It means I'm doing my job well.

I think I'm used to calling them phone cards.

The second part of your post made me dig "Still Crazy After All These Years" out of my hard drive and give it a listen.

I read that as "piercing". Not sure if it's a vision problem or a reading comprehension problem...

I thought The Claw decided who stays and who goes?

(Toy Story, in case it's too oblique.)

[Unknown site tag] has directed me to ask you about signing up for Comic Con for a "Creative Person" pass, or something similar.

Can you illuminate me?

If you're a professional creator, you should be able to register here to get in free: https://www.compusystems.com/servlet/ar?evt_uid=709&site=PROF

It may be too late to do it for this year's -- they always demand that you do it really early, but since the link is still live it might work.
