going green.

last night i got two calls from a landline in salt lake that i didn’t recognize. no message. i was intrigued so i called back.

it was a very nice, elderly-sounding man from the salt lake trib/des news wondering if i’d like to take the paper again.

sidenote: of all the companies of which i’ve been a customer, the sl trib is second only to nissan in phone spam. just an fyi.

anyhooha, he had all kinds of configurations and options for me, mostly costing about six dollahs a month.

my heart went out to the sweet man, earnestly peddling his newspapers, because it reminded me of newsies, which automatically made me think of my boyfriend christian bale singing longingly of santa fe.

but seriously, all the paper amounts to for someone like me is a lot of wasted paper, where i’m so plugged into the www all the time to get my news. unless i decide to start doing a whole lotta paper mache…and a LOT of paper mache that would be…etsy shop of my own, here we come…

the dear man told me to keep his phone number, just in case i was ever interested.
surely will, friend.
surely will.
