Nick: “Can I place this order online?”
Verizon: “Yes, you can.
N: “Is there any fee associated with doing this?”
V: “I’m not sure…they may have charges that we don’t?”
N: “Aren’t ‘they’ Verizon, too? You are all one company, correct?”
V: “The online orders division has its own procedures and policies.”
N: “That’s totally ridiculous.”

Last night marked my first ever trip to the urban landscape of Franklin, PA for a fireworks watching excursion. Usually we go to Clarion’s river hill for this, but there was just no way (save for teleportation) that I was going to be able to go to work and make it home in time […]

I’m entirely in love with this advert for the new Ford Ka that’s running in Spain and various other countries that a) have clever advertising and b) have Ford cars that don’t suck. I’ve now watched it about fourteen times. I really think I should probably hang it up with the whole “being […]
Frustration is beginning to seep in around the edges.
