My life as a talky movie: The mood ring
Mood ring, originally uploaded by 160507.
Weekday, round 9pm, while eating suman and turon.
Grungella: One of my cats emailed Poland.
Grover: Explain.
Grungella: I got a “mail delivery failed” message. Apparently someone sent email to (consults notebook) txtww.tyminska@dz.com.pl. I’m guessing pl is Poland? I never emailed Poland, so it must be one of my cats. They like to walk on my keyboard while I’m working, and they must’ve stepped on the right combination of letters. It’s happened before.
Guy Smiley: That’s a nice ring.
Grungella: It’s a mood ring. The color changes according to your mood.
Grover: How does it work?
Grungella: It detects changes in your body temperature.
Grover: (puts it on) What’s my mood?
Grungella: Wait a minute. It turned green, so you’re in an okay mood.
Guy Smiley: Let me try. It turned orange.
Grungella: It means you’re agitated. Blue is supposed to mean you’re calm, and dark blue means you’re romantic or passionate.
Grover: I should wear a mood ring on a date, and announce what the color is, but not what it means!
Grungella: Or make your date wear it, and observe what color it turns into!
Guy Smiley stares at the mood ring.
Grungella: What are you doing?
Guy Smiley: I’m waiting for it to turn dark blue.
Grungella: You’re in love?
Guy Smiley: I’m in love with this mood ring, so it should turn dark blue! (Goes on staring at the ring.)
Grungella: Are you trying to make the ring change color by sheer force of will?
Guy Smiley: Yes.
Grungella: This is why we’re friends.

Question: What if one of the members of the “Gucci Gang” wears one of those mood rings? What color would the ring be? Hmm…

Grungella sounds like her computer has a virus. Though the cat explanation is way cooler.

I’m interested in buying the mood ring. I’m willing to shell out big bucks.
