E-mail from JB: "I'm in town this weekend, but I can't find your numbers. Can you e-mail them to me ASAP?"
I e-mailed back saying my CELL is the best number to reach me. Sunday I noticed my home answering machine had a new message.
JB: "Let's have lunch and CD shop tomorrow... um... I am staying at J's right now and his number is 555-5555, or you can call B's cell at 777-7777 because he'll be with me when we go out.." Beeeeeeeeeep.
I saved the #s on my cell. Ugh, having to call J's house was a tad uncomfortable since we're somewhat estranged.
J: Hello, this is J.
ME: (eyes rolling) Hey, J. It's Sun. How are you?
J: Hi, Sun. I'm good. How are you?
ME: Super. Listen... um.... I'm returning JB's call.
J: He's right here. JB!
JB: Greetings.
ME: Dude, I thought I told you my cell was the best way to reach me?
JB: I called your cell... didn't I?
ME: No. (grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr)
Cut to the next day... my cell rings.
ME: Hello?
JB: B and I are at Amoeba, can you meet me here?
ME: OK, but once I'm inside, how will I find you?
(it's a BIG store)
JB: You can call B's cell, but.... he might leave before you get here. Hm.....
I'll come to the front counter in half hour. Can you be here by then?
Cut to in Amoeba front counter. My cell phone rings... the ID says "JB LA"
(arched brow)
ME: Hello? JB? (pause) ...B?
J: No, this is J.
ME: I'm confused.
J: So am I. Uh... is JB with you?
ME: Um... he should be walking to me in a second.
( JB walks up, hand him
my cell)
ME: It's for you.
JB: Hello? Hey, J... OK, but by the time you get here Sun and her cell phone won't be here, so... I think you can have them page me in the store.
ME: (head explodes)

This sure sounds funny to me, but I'm sure it wasn't for you, Sun. Sorry, heh-heh.
My brother doesn't have a cell phone and HE LIVES IN LA. It's so annoying. I keep reminding him where the tar pits are.
so quaint!
