Four days without an internet connection or cable teevee, people! First, the nice customer service person in New Delhi or wherever said that there was no reported outage. Then, on Day 2, a different nice person in New Delhi said that there was a large outage, it was affecting the entire neighborhood & that it would be restored in 24 hours. Then, on Day 3, yet another nice person in New Delhi said that there wasn't an outage, he didn't know why the second person said there was an outage, but he would schedule a service call. Finally, on Day 4, the technician shows up and quickly discovers that, when the people around the block from us were hooked up for their new internet/cable bundle last Friday, we were accidentally unplugged from the hub box. Or something like that. {sigh}Anyway, it was a pretty low-tech weekend. We took the kids to see Eragon, a movie that pretty much consists of taking a book with the most cliched, predictable characters & hackneyed, mono-dimensional plot and making it even MORE cliched/predictable/hackneyed/one-dimensional. Bah. Hunter liked it, though. The rest of us had fun picking it apart afterwards.
