An undergrad talking to her friend on the bus tonight:

“And she was like, ‘You told me to shut up!’ and I was like, ‘I tell all my friends to shut up!’”

I was startled to hear the opening synth line from Prince’s “1999” as a ringtone on a cellphone this afternoon. I guess Prince has no copyright control over his Warner Brothers material, though, so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised at that as much as I should that that particular song’s being used as a ringtone.

Another day, another weather pattern. Much more summery and mild today. It was pleasant weather to walk home tonight in short sleeves.
