Here's all the old news from the summer:
Abi got married! The ceremony was mystical and cute at the same time.
Nora, Pat and I drove to Prince Edward Island for Karen's wedding. Here's Nora in the loneliest McCafe WiFi Hotspot in North America.
Pat is telling his friend that we haven't gotten to Bangor yet, but we're still going to Bangor.
This is the bridge from New Brunswick (Canada, not NJ) to Prince Edward Island. $40 Canadian toll -- that's like $100 US!
They call it The Gentle Island. More like the Gentile Island! Just kidding. It was gentle and magical.
Everyone was camping on the beach except me and Delia. When we finally got there it was dark, and the campsite was a mixture of people trying to sleep (everyone) and people who think they're tailgating outside an R.E.M. concert (us).
The wedding was at Kirby's family's house, literally right on the ocean. My pictures don't really do the location justice! But I don't know if it matters, because is there anyone reading this blog who either (a) wasn't at the wedding or (b) has never been to a house right on the beach? I know that sounds like a controversial question, but I am almost sure that the answer is "no."
Weisses!
Lobstercaust
When we were driving home, Nora said, "I've heard this is the most robbed McDonalds in the U.S.!" Pat said, "does the Hamburgler live nearby?"
Then, it was time for me to go. Not to sound conceited, but people felt sad, like Francey.
And Eddie. Actually, I did not take this picture. It mysteriously appeared on my camera.
And then I was gone!
As I previously mentioned, I went to London Fields and hung out with this dog eating a beer can.
Buildings that look like owls in East London.
The edge of either England or France.
Spain
Spain started to look suspiciously like Southern California as the plane got closer to Madrid.
... And here, my troubles began.

Kathrine(Mon Aug 04 2008 17:56:48 GMT+0200 (CEST))>
Thank you for choosing TWC Live Chat. I will be your analyst today, how may I be of assistance?
Zoe(Mon Aug 04 2008 23:57:03 GMT+0200 (CEST))>
Hi, thank you. I have a billing question.
Kathrine(Mon Aug 04 2008 17:56:48 GMT+0200 (CEST))>
I'll be more than happy to assist you with that. Can you please provide the phone number, name, address (including apartment number) of the account you would like addressed?
Zoe(Mon Aug 04 2008 23:57:03 GMT+0200 (CEST))>
Sure. The phone number is XXX-xxx-xxxx, the name is Zoe Xxxxxx, and the address is XXX _____ St. #XX.
Kathrine(Mon Aug 04 2008 17:56:48 GMT+0200 (CEST))>
Thank you for that information, who am I speaking with?
Zoe(Mon Aug 04 2008 23:57:03 GMT+0200 (CEST))>
This is Zoe Xxxxxx.
Kathrine(Mon Aug 04 2008 17:56:48 GMT+0200 (CEST))>
Mr. Xxxxxx, for security reasons, I would need the account number.
Zoe(Mon Aug 04 2008 23:57:03 GMT+0200 (CEST))>
Sure. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Kathrine(Mon Aug 04 2008 17:56:48 GMT+0200 (CEST))>
I have the account open now. You mentioned you have a billing question?
Zoe(Mon Aug 04 2008 23:57:03 GMT+0200 (CEST))>
The question I have is, I paid my bill online this month because I've been out of town, and the friend who is housesitting for me just emailed to let me know that my service was disconnected.
Zoe(Mon Aug 04 2008 23:57:03 GMT+0200 (CEST))>
I re-checked my records of the online payment transaction, and I discovered that the payment got credited to my OLD TWC account.
Zoe(Mon Aug 04 2008 23:57:03 GMT+0200 (CEST))>
I moved on June 1st, and it looks like the old account is still linked to my online account.
Kathrine(Mon Aug 04 2008 17:56:48 GMT+0200 (CEST))>
The account number & address you gave me matched the one on our database. Are you located at a different address now?
Zoe(Mon Aug 04 2008 23:57:03 GMT+0200 (CEST))>
No. The old account number is slightly different -- it's XXXXXXXXXXXXOOOO
Kathrine(Mon Aug 04 2008 17:56:48 GMT+0200 (CEST))>
Can you provide me with the old address too?
Zoe(Mon Aug 04 2008 23:57:03 GMT+0200 (CEST))>
Sure. The old address is YYY W. Yth St., Apt. YY
Kathrine(Mon Aug 04 2008 17:56:48 GMT+0200 (CEST))>
The acct# ending with XXXX is linked to Xxxxxx St address.
Zoe(Mon Aug 04 2008 23:57:03 GMT+0200 (CEST))>
Yes, that's correct.
Kathrine(Mon Aug 04 2008 17:56:48 GMT+0200 (CEST))>
The order was processed for the account transfer but was never completed. I will take care of that right now. I will also adjust the date so it will be disconnected on the same date you got your services installed at the new location. Everything else will be transferred automatically to the new account.
Zoe(Mon Aug 04 2008 23:57:03 GMT+0200 (CEST))>
Okay.
Kathrine(Mon Aug 04 2008 17:56:48 GMT+0200 (CEST))>
I will restore the service today too for Xxxxxx St.
Zoe(Mon Aug 04 2008 23:57:03 GMT+0200 (CEST))>
Thank you!
Kathrine(Mon Aug 04 2008 17:56:48 GMT+0200 (CEST))>
Service already restored for Xxxxxx St account. It might take about 5 more minutes for everything to come back on. I already completed the move-transfer account from Yth St. address.
Zoe(Mon Aug 04 2008 23:57:03 GMT+0200 (CEST))>
Okay, that sounds fine. Thank you!
Kathrine(Mon Aug 04 2008 17:56:48 GMT+0200 (CEST))>
Everything is taken care of Mr. Xxxxxx. Is there anything else I can assist you with?
Zoe(Mon Aug 04 2008 23:57:03 GMT+0200 (CEST))>
No, thank you, you've been very helpful. Is there a confirmation number for these changes?
Kathrine(Mon Aug 04 2008 17:56:48 GMT+0200 (CEST))>
No confirmation number since no order was opened by me although I have noted your account regarding the transactions for their reference.
Kathrine(Mon Aug 04 2008 17:56:48 GMT+0200 (CEST))>
You can just tell the representative for future reference that you have spoken to me at this time. I have saved all the information there already.
Zoe(Mon Aug 04 2008 23:57:03 GMT+0200 (CEST))>
Great, thank you!
Zoe(Mon Aug 04 2008 23:57:03 GMT+0200 (CEST))>
Have a good evening. Again, you've been very helpful. What a relief to have this taken care of.
Kathrine(Mon Aug 04 2008 17:56:48 GMT+0200 (CEST))>
Do you also want to try the movie channel TMC on your account? We have it free for 1 month as a promotion right now.
Zoe(Mon Aug 04 2008 23:57:03 GMT+0200 (CEST))>
No, thank you. Not at this time.
Kathrine(Mon Aug 04 2008 17:56:48 GMT+0200 (CEST))>
Not a problem.
Kathrine(Mon Aug 04 2008 17:56:48 GMT+0200 (CEST))>

I got you this
Olivia has to go soon but luckily little Stephanie is staying. Last night we went to a disco that looked like the inside of the Ukrainian National Home. People in Madrid have a lot of energy for going out and staying out late, but nightlife here is very innocent and cheerful.
Spanish phrases I know:
Something like that
Take it from behind
Can I have a transfer
Whiskey and ginger ale
T-shirt update:
Harry, Sally and Me
How am I supposed to know what's right?
I sure am going to miss being on the same continent as Olivia! Can you guys believe it's already August 3rd?
