Kris and his former roommate Tim have been looking for a place for a bit over a month. The didn't like the place they had (it was really too small for two people) and thought they had a place all ready to go, so they didn't renew the lease. Only to find out, when the time came, that the landlord of the other place and rented it to someone else out from under them.
So Tim was living with his parents (not a good situation apparently) and Kris was sleeping on the couch at another friend's small place (again, not a good situation). This was, obviously, cause Kris a LOT of stress and anxiety, but they continued to look for another place. Today, they signed the lease on it.
It's in the middle of town, further from Kris' work than the original place, but not as far away as the other place rented out from under them. And it's a duplex, which is nice. Two full floors and a basement and attic, with an extra room for Tim's son when Tim has his visitations with him (the mother has primary custody).
Today after work, I was supposed to help them move stuff out of storage, but, well as happens with things surrounding Kris with alarming frequency, plans fell through and things changed. Instead, after work, I picked them up at Wal-Mart where they were buying stuff for the place: a lamp, light bulbs, trash can, blinds for the windows, toilet paper, a cooking set, etc. They have a bunch of stuff in storage that I was supposed to help them with, but as I said, plans fell through. But they got what they could tonight and plan on getting the stuff moved tomorrow afternoon. While Im in work. So I wont be able to help.
But regardless, Kris and Tim were proud of the place, even though it had nothing in it. And it was great to see Kris all happy and smiling and relatively stress-free again.
Im happy for them both.

Lime Street in the afternoon everybody crazy as a coon...
Tonight, I visited a blog I haven't went to in YEARS, the blog of the awesome LIME, The House Of Lime. The first post she had up is her answering questions in a meme someone else sent her. And then she lists 11 questions of her for anyone who wants to, to answer.
And HEY, I love answering questions. So, away we go:
1. I'm inventing a new yoga position inspired by you. What does it look like and what shall I call it?
You call it "The Reclining Polt", and it's a position mimicing one laying a comfy sofa, head propped up by a pillow, one hand holding the TV remote, the other in a bag of chips. It's not terribly difficult to attain.
2. What is your quest?
To seek the Holy Grail. And my favorite color is Blue...No YELLLLLOOOOWWWW!
3. Ghengis Khan or Snooki? Why?
Ghehgis Khan, simply because he HAS to be less irritating.
4. What does the color turquoise smell like?
The salty smell of the wind at the beach as it blows off the crystal blue water.
5. I'm giving you butterscotch candies, cabbage, yak milk, and escargot. What sort of tasty dish will you prepare for me?
A cabbage salad for starters, escargot for the main course, yak milk to drink, and butterscotch candies for dessert! Several dishes are always better than just one!
6. If you wear garlic around your neck to keep vampires away, what should you wear to keep zombies away?
According to The Walking Dead, if you wear the innards of another zombie, it keeps them from noticing you, so I'm going with that.
7. What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
Do you mean an African or a European swallow?8. Tell me a story involving a bathtub of macaroni, a red wagon, and a head of state.
It is rumored Caligula, after he made his horse a consul of Rome, ordered that the horse be carried around in a red wagon, and never again to pull one. This consul-horse, unfortunately, died when it accidently tripped and drowned in a tub full of macaroni. Poor thing.
9. Invent a family game using a pile of lentils and a thimble.
Lentil Pong, like Beer Pong, involves bouncing lentils off a ping-pong table and trying to get them to go inside an overturned thimble, and if it DOES, then the opposing team has to take a drink of beer. Participants rarely, if ever, get a buzz, much less get drunk. If fact, its not uncommon for players to die of thirst.
10. You may not use paint or wallpaper. With what will you cover your walls?
Photos printed off the Internet of gay porn stars and scenes. Obviously, this decoration would only be used in my bedroom.
11. When?
As often as possible, baby, with whomever I can, but as often as possible!

Whoa, whoa yeah, the publishers they tryna call us...
So the book I just finished "Teenagers From The Future" is a book of essays about the Legion Of Super-Heroes comic book (which takes place 1000 years in the future). The essays cover topics like the fashions of the future, race relations in the comic books, detailing and deconstructing the Giffin era, covers the Great Darkness Saga, and a whole bunch of other things you're not going to have any clue what I'm talking about because you don't read the Legion.
One essay was about Homosexuality and Sexual Identity in the comic book. There were a few gay characters on the team and the supporting cast, and a few others who had major hints dropped about them but were never confirmed. One such couple was Shrinking Violet (Vi) and Light Lass (Ayla) (yeah, the names are ALL spiffy like that). There were major insinuations that they were a lesbian couple, but it was never clearly stated.
In that essay the author quotes from one of the letter columns in the back of one the issues. It reads as follows:
"About the Vi-Ayla relationship, we've got a lively discussion going on the matter....Among those asking us to make a more definitive proclamation of their status, and/or to more openly depict other gay relationships, are Waynesboro, PA's Chris Shockey, Washington NC's David Webb...."
And when I read that, I'm sure I gasped! There's my name and city!!!! I had written a letter to them, probably asking them to just come out and say Vi and Ayla were a lesbian couple, and the letter had gotten printed in the letter column, but that was like twenty years ago, and I had TOTALLY forgotten it happened. Until I saw it in print again, right there on page 231 of this book! And I freaked! (well not really, but you understand)
It was so cool to have my name printed in the letter column, but how much MORE cooler is it to have my name printed in a real book, twenty freakin' years later! WOW!
Yeah, I know it doesn't take much to get me all excited, but still man, I think is amazing. I'm hyped! I want to go write a whole bunch more letters to comic books now! ....course now, no body sends letters, they send emails. And the comic books have gotten rid of letter columns for a few years now, so they could sell more advertising. So yeah, I probably wont.
But STILL! My name is published in a book, a real book!
Wow.....

Seems like yesterday, old habits die hard.....
Saturday at work, I got a called from A Local Celebrity, Mr. David ParisPeking. He was begging and pleading with me to go see "A Good Day To Die Hard" with him, which I already knew i didn't want to see. His wife refused to even consider it. And Ghostie, his usual crappy-movie viewing buddy, was sick with the puking flu. So he broke down and begged me.
He said he'd even cry if it would help. I said it wouldn't (although upon later consideration, I think I SHOULD have insisted upon tears). Instead, he said he'd buy me ticket. At the comfy seating VIP theater. And but me popcorn. And a drink. And then I thought: free drink, popcorn and comfy seat.....oh, why not? So I met him after work, got my free ticket, popcorn and drink, and we settled in the watch the latest Die Hard movie.
I knew it was an 'action film' but I had no idea it was such a science fiction film as well. It obviously takes place in an alternate reality.
It take place in a reality where in a Jeep can ram into the side of an armored vehicle and succeed in knocking the much larger armored vehicle off the highway.
It takes place in a reality where one can drop a truck full of highly refined, weapons grade uranium from a helicopter and have just a normal explosion result. No nuclear issues whatsoever.
It takes place in a reality where one can walk safely through a place contaminated with radiation for 25 years, like in Chernobyl, while wearing only a regular hazmat rubber suit gasmask. Radiation suits not required.
It takes place in a reality where radiation was 'pooled' for 25 years, and where one can bring a tank of some mystic, magical gas that, when released, totally neutralizes all that radiation in less than a minute and allows people to walk around in regular clothes.
It takes place in a reality wherein one can have fall from a rooftop and have a piece of rebar imbedded in your lower left torso, and have that rebar yanked out, and yet, you not only do NOT bleed out, but in fact can later in the day, run, jump, do flips, fight, and all other sorts of things a fully healthy, non-rebar-impaled man has trouble doing.
It takes place in a reality where one can be shot in the left bicep and be bleeding so badly that you require a tourniquet right after the shot, but later that same day, is able to not only lean on that arm, but hold an automatic firearm, bracing it against that arm, while firing it full bore.
It takes place in a reality where half a dozen 'professionals' armed with automatic weapons, and in fact a helicopter firing it's massive guns into a building, do not succeed it even hitting the people they're aiming at.
The movie wasn't a total loss, though. It did show several beautiful picturesque shots of the skyline of Moscow. And the guy who plays Bruce Willis' son is pretty cute, hunky, bicep-ey, with a nicely fuzzy chest.
Still, neither of these feasts for the eyes can even come close to making up for the horridness of the movie.
Unless you want a movie that is 5/6th car chases, explosions, and gunfire, and 1/5th brainless quips passing for dialogue (and I know some DO want that, although I can't for the life of me understand WHY!), then avoid this piece of drek with all due diligence.
Seriously, the studios need to let this franchise die and...yes, I'll say it.... DIE HARD!
