From 1980-2000 we had New York Telephone, then NYNEX, then Bell Atlantic, then Verizon. It's been Verizon ever since-- i.e., The End of History. Wikipedia reminds me that NYNEX was actually fined $4 million in 1996 for having poor customer service. Has such a thing ever happened before or since? It seems so un-American now.Hobhttp://www.errorbar.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-52519537850203821382012-10-11T20:00:13.786-04:002012-10-11T20:00:13.786-04:00Nonsequitastic!Nonsequitastic!XeckyGilchristnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-31881129955741390242012-10-11T19:37:08.161-04:002012-10-11T19:37:08.161-04:00Andrew Sullivan -- a gay Catholic Tory who thinks ...Andrew Sullivan -- a gay Catholic Tory who thinks his church's position on gay marriage is horrible, but it's position on abortion is just right.<br /><br />Think this guy has issues?Steve Simelshttp://powerpop.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-89581342443038153342012-10-11T19:11:17.976-04:002012-10-11T19:11:17.976-04:00"Adjustment to NYC is a process.

Personally, I'm too poor to buy couches or TVs or know what a "mifi" is, but I still sympathize - I imagine it would be pretty horrible to have the wrong couch. In the spirit of Christian charity, I'd just like to observe that there are other places to live in the U.S., many of them nicer than New York City. Maybe you could try moving to one of them?<br /><br />Yours,<br /><br />wjtswjtsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-31233475977552960212012-10-11T17:33:27.847-04:002012-10-11T17:33:27.847-04:00No. The Higsons come from Norwich.No. The Higsons come from Norwich.wjtsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-58785911087671915892012-10-11T16:37:56.657-04:002012-10-11T16:37:56.657-04:00Originally posted at Just Another Blog (From LA), ...Originally posted at Just Another Blog (From LA), reposted here per MB's suggestion: <br /><br /><br /> Andrew Sullivan depends on Google maps to navigate a city of numbered streets and avenues laid out on a regular grid, with more large, readily-visible and famous landmarks than any other city in the country, a place whose twisty old enclaves can be escaped within minutes simply by locating Broadway, full of people who'd be happy to tell him where to go and what to do to himself when he gets there. <br /><br /><br />Fantastic.Adam Eli Clemhttp://www.facebook.com/adameli.clem.5noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-323944615219350052012-10-11T16:18:24.248-04:002012-10-11T16:18:24.248-04:00That reminds me of my only "bad" NY expe...That reminds me of my only "bad" NY experience. Eating in a nice restaurant I overheard the women at the table next to mine bitching and moaning and sneering about their maids. One woman's lazy maid didn't iron clothes because of a bad back... how dare she! The other's maid had a cold and might have given it to her "mistress". It was depressing to listen to.

Moving and readjusting is always a shock, particularly when the scale changes so much. And I missed my social circle like hell. Yet somehow I don't feel sympathetic. I could have written a piece about what was wrong with the rental we used to have, but I can't imagine using that as the basis for "oh god, life is sooo hard!" Because actually it wasn't.frasernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-80650531963100031902012-10-11T13:56:56.115-04:002012-10-11T13:56:56.115-04:00Somewhat apropos, an interesting scene in Spike Le...Somewhat apropos, an interesting scene in Spike Lee's new movie, "Red Hook Summer" has one of the leads looking at Manhattan from across the river and commenting that she's only been there once or twice and can barely imagine what it's like. There's just so much unspoken reality in that scene, I find it truly awe inspiring. Periodically, I'm on a roof with artists and journalists from out of town looking out over the east river at an iconically beautiful view of Manhattan all lit up at night and I've found that to be a perfect metaphor for all that's wrong in Sullivan's world view. Like many animals we are easily lured by bright shiny things, but if we turn and walk a few steps the other way, what we see -- in this specific case, Brooklyn and Queens, but it applies more generally -- is much more relevant and interesting. The shiny is too often hollow. The duller surfaces often prove much more substantial underneath.chucklingnoreply@blogger.com
