do we have any way of describing the event other than "surreal"? is "unreal" more correct in this circumstance? i know im as guilty as the next for using it but wouldnt surreal mean a move not merely to the the extraordinary but beyond to something entirely otherworldly and dreamlike. had the towers taken on organic characteristics and become elastic to avoid the planes that i think would have been surrealistic. than again, "unreal" doesnt quite seem to do justice to the cataclysmic visage. i bet the germans have a good word construct for that sense of dislocation.

A few weeks back I lost a bet over whether AT&T owned Excite@Home, which provides Internet services to Comcast cable. Excite@Home's been floundering lately--its own auditor expressed doubts about its survival, the auditor got fired, and so on--so I'm wondering, will AT&T step in to save its property, or will it say "life's tough"? The only reason I care is because it looks like I'm involuntarily about to change email (third time in a year because of companies tanking) and will possibly have to move my website (how much notice will I get? a month? a week?). Also, what hideous entity will Comcast partner with when E@H goes down? AOL? Microsoft?
