I now have a safe deposit box. Also, the bank has different systems for California and Texas accounts, so apparently they have to ship off all transactions to Texas before processing them. Also their website is down.

I finished reading Eoin Colfer's Artemis Fowl: The Atlantis Complex. It was decent, but not quite up to his usual genius, in my opinion. The twists were not quite as shocking as they usually turn out (though that might be a side effect of my becoming accustomed to them), and frankly, the whole plot did little to develop anything other than Artemis' mental disorders. As for the action: the main cast was in very little convincing danger for the majority of the time, perhaps a result of Artemis' obsessive nonchalance. It's not so bad that is spoils the series, in my mind, but I'd rather go back and reread the bits with time travel and goblins and awesome support from Foaly behind the scenes.
