My carrier has hung up on *me*!

Latest annoyance: After five years with them, my phone company has gotten tired of being superior to the local provider I dumped them for and has decided to jack up their fees by 261%. I won't go through how difficult it's been to extract information from them, I'll just say that I'm now shopping around for a replacement--which might mean giving up my landline, since AT&T is pulling out of local service in my area and I still haven't forgiven SBC for all those years of dicking me around. Being a consumer would be so much easier if I simply had no pride.

But I'm sick of bitching about how hard it is to be a well-off, homeowning capitalist. Forthwith: My promised review of last weekend--just in time for the next!

Of course it also helps that the cellphone feng shui gods do not shine on my apartment. I live in a railroad apartment that runs parallel to an elevated subway line as well as a major artery, and all the local antennae are pointed at the train and the road. There is reception in only one corner of the front bedroom, and then only if the listener is tall enough to bend over the rubber tree in the window. Otherwise no Sprint, no Verizon, no Catherine Zeta Jones.
