For Posterity's Sake: TWBB v. NCFOM

I would like it to be known to all of my peers that, when history unfolds itself, "There Will Be Blood" will be regarded as a far greater masterpiece than "No Country for Old Men". 

While I can point out many flaws and deus ex machina moments in NCFOM any time you ask, I am hard pressed to find such in TWBB. As many critics are saying, it may be a perfect film. 

That P.T. Anderson got passed over at the Academy Awards is a travesty. Were I him, I would boycott all awards ceremonies until they get their heads out of their asses.

VERIZON LIES

Verizon FiOs is a beautiful thing as far as technology goes. But their customer service is a bunch of bullshit. 

Signed up 12/29/07. Some screw-ups on Verizon's behalf, service not installed until early Feb., T&Cs agreed 2/14/08. 

3/13/08, spoke to rep., said free promo acceptance letter was sent, but to wrong address (funny how they had wrong address, but I still get ads from them every day to this address in my name), assured me that I would receive within a few days.

4/1/08, spoke to rep. who told me she had the correct address on file, had no idea why I hadn't received letter, and would have someone investigate and call me back in 24-48 hours.

4/3/08, never heard from anyone at Verizon, spoke to account supervisor about myriad of customer service problems, including no call-back and no letter. Supervisor rudely informed me that, even though I signed up for service 12/29/07, I would not receive letter until 10-12 weeks from T&Cs acceptance. We'll see on May 1, Verizon!
