Missed calls
Last night during dinner the telephone rang. The caller ID read "unknown name/unknown number" so I ignored it. The call was probably a sales pitch; it usually is. But then it dawned on me: maybe it was Nicole. Nicole Kidman has been in Washington this week filming her new movie "The Visiting." I picked up the phone on the fourth ring. "Hello? Hello? Nicole?" The line went dead. I'll bet it was Nicole Kidman trying to get in touch with me. Damn it. Just my luck. I should have answered sooner. But why the unknown name? Maybe her cell phone battery was dead and she had to call from a pay phone. Maybe she was using one of those calling cards to save money on long distance charges.
Okay, I hear your murmurs of disbelief. Hey, just because sexy actresses aren't calling you at random when they are in town looking for companionship after a long day of filming is no reason to stick a pin in my balloon. I see the cup as half-full, and it just so happens that my cup is half-full of major Hollywood starlets calling me up out of the blue, okay?
Just a few weeks back I received a garbled call on my cell phone (caller ID blocked). I couldn't make out the voice on the other end, so I hung up. Whoever it was, called back three more times before giving up. The calls sounded like they originated from a crowded bar. The next day I read in the newspaper that Angelina Jolie had been spotted in a trendy Georgetown saloon, having a beer and playing pool. She was alone. Coincidence? I think not.
