i'm looking for a place to live, and the search isn't going well

ummm...

Any place east of Downey Ave, north of Stewart and Grey (or Firestone if picky), west of the 605 freeway

I lived in the townhouses at Texas St and Downey Ave.

Lots of options

i made an appointment to see a place today, and when i got there no one was there.

the other place i wanted to see was somehow mistakenly listed in the neighborhood i wanted. really it was 15 miles away! i wasted ~20 minutes on it, and actually made an appointment to see it before i double checked and the guy told me it was in ****ing west ****ing hollywood.

i'm not picky about neighborhoods. i just can't deal with this commute. so i need to live closer to the casino.

i'm bad at talking to people and making appointments and filling out papers

I dunno what good rover design looks like, but I got this puppy to Duna. Next stop eve!

lol. Why's the surface pink?

How did you get it there and land?

It's the Duna pole, by night

I always use the big rover wheels.

Where's the headlights and all the science experiments?

batteries?

And this is how I get it places

I'm also being personally targeted.

Jesus, turns out I'm getting the vanilla stuff

I knew it. I’ve always known it.

Now if only Gabe will admit it too...

Move to Calgary, Alberta. A couple of my cowrokers (who are also a couple) are transfering to the Calgary airport. They are getting a great, and new, apartment for C$1600 per month. Great view, near the casinos. Gym, and a common recreational area with pool tables and a poker table. Apparently, there are people in the building who are playing on a regular basis. The male half of the couple is salivating at the opportunity.

Downside for you is the temperature drop vs SoCal. But the poker is good. I know, though, that you don't want to move so far from your family.

mars isn't far away enough from my family

but im skeptical about how the good poker is, even if canada would let me live there, which i doubt.

do they even play 5/10 in alberta? LA is amazing. right now there are probably 7-10 5/10 games running, AND higher games.

plus, i don't think are many models in alberta.

it is beautiful there though right? and you have healthcare, and you don't invade countries, and you don't have shooting sprees.

but you do do a little genocide.

whoops.

Mostly in the past, though.

i went to an nfl game for the first time. i expected to be hot and uncomfortable, to stand in long lines for bathrooms, to have people screaming in my ear, to have a view limited to exactly one angle and see much less of the game than i could on tv, to pay an obscene amount for a beer, to have to fight through a ton of people to get to/from the stadium and around the stadium, and my expectations were 100% met. i know i sound like grumpy cat, but i don't understand why people do this. we invented tv. it works perfectly. at least the dinner after was great.

What do you think of college football? All the above is still true but they also were some of the greatest experiences in my life.

Sport is the greatest popular delusion of the age. Y'all can like whatever you want to like, but it's basically idiotic to really care about the performance of a bunch of millionaires with no more than a passing interest in whatever town they happen to play for this week.

Rocketry, on the other hand...

hey hey bigger!



I went to school right near the combat zone, for some reason we liked to check out the sights

When I moved to Tampa I decided to go to a couple of Bucs games. I was able to get decent seats for the first one I went to. I'm pretty sure this is because the Bucs season ticket holders really don't want to go to the games. This theory is supported by the fact that there are usually more opposing jerseys worn at the games than bucs jerseys.

It was pretty much what I expected, as you say. But, I was struck by the difference in perspective. It really looked like a bunch of guys playing football just like I did when I was a kid. On TV it looks so much different.

The second game I got front row 50 yd. line seats. Couldn't see much of anything. TV cameras and people in front of me the entire time.

I've been to a ton of UT (college) games. They are a lot more fun. The band playing songs and the cheers and all make it a lot better experience. Plus the tailgaiting and the fact that when I got to the game I was usually pretty lit made it much more enjoyable.

People don't go to football games to watch football.

Exactly. If watching football is your priority, tv is a million times better. Going to a game is about the rest of the experience.

the traffic, the exorbitant expense, the drunken screaming idiots, the nostalgia for days of roman games. sponsored by usa military

The car guys found the issue with my deflating tyre. It was a cracked valve, just like the pub predicted 9 months and 2 services ago.
