“I went fishing in Florida once, said Rebecca, and the ocean is absolutely teeming with violence. I pulled a two-foot kingfish out of the water. It fought and fought—well, for a minute I fought it—and then bam it comes up easy as an old boot, half-eaten. Between the time it snagged my hook and the minute later when I landed it a barracuda had bit it in half. The captain just laughs and throws it off the deck, and I watched it sink. And I am pissed. I did all that work. I took it personally that this other fish had come after my fish. What had become my fish. I am there in a boat ninety minutes from shore with some fiberglass between me and all this. I mean we’re on land and we don’t take it seriously how insane it is out there. You’re at the beach throwing a ball around laughing in the sand and out beneath the waves there is this slaughterhouse, this horror movie. Shark week forever. It’s amazing the ocean doesn’t just run blood all the time.”

It’s like someone went to the beach, looked around, and said “You know what? There’s nothing that makes you look stupid out here let’s change that.”

Cellphone's Dead

I want to give AT&T $3000 over the next two years. For cell phone service of course.

4 lines on a family plan. 3 are in the southern US, 1 is in the northeast. Simple enough right? I pay on time every month and have AT&T for all kinds of other shit, you’d think one simple request like this would be easy. Nope, AT&T won’t let me do that, they all have to be in the same “market”. So either one of us has the daily pleasure of dealing with an out-of-area number, or three of us do. Fan-fucking-tastic.

Sprint had no problem with this. Hell I probably could have had a line in Puerto Rico and another at Area 51 and they wouldn’t have cared. But their customer service is crap and I’m sick of dealing with billing fuckups.

The big 3 cell companies are all screwed up in different ways, and the smaller regional carriers all blow.
