Ridiculous Saturday

A few short items from yesterday...

1 - I realized that I was being charged 15 cents per automated text message from the Weather Network... but when I tried to unsubscribe, I couldn't find the link! Telus did it to me again - changing the web site around on me. I had to call the client-care hotline to get myself unsubscribed (like they didn't even acknowledge the fact that I was basically screwed - they did it for me through their internal computer system).

2 - Speaking of my cell phone, I got a really dramatic shot with the camera function of a crowd of protestors marching through downtown yesterday... and subsequently deleted it by accident before I got to downloading it to my PC. I'm an idiot. On the other hand, demonstrations, protests, and marches seem to be a semi-regular occurrance in the Nation's Capital ...I'll have another chance, I'm sure.

3 - DC's shipping schedule is all out whack again. After checking not one but two local shops, neither had the two-week-old issue of Legion. Since it ties into the big Infinite Crisis plot, the title was supposed to switch over to "Supergirl and the Legion of Super-Heroes" for a few issues... both stores had the sample cover on display under "coming next week." Uh... yeah. Whatever.

4 - the rerelease of Macross was supposed to continue last week - it hasn't. I've been going around to various forums and sites... while every one lists the second DVD as being available March 8... nobody anywhere says they actually found it to purchase.
