The Demonweasel Speaks

So let’s a do post for the new year, since I didn’t do one for all of August. Quick hits, we ordered a PPV and it’s starting at 1:30. Of course, I gave myself the gift of a DirecTV DVR this Christ’s Mass, so I guess it really doesn’t matter. Of course, it’s not working 100% yet, and a dude has to come and fix it. The first available date they have is the 27th. Ass.

I’m not doing resolutions. I mean, there’ shit I want to get done, but I’m not going to be all official and say it’s this and it’s this and it’s this. I mean, I have enough going on this coming year. Getting married, wot wot. Other things I’m interested in  achieving this year are publishing “Shadow of the Past,” finishing “The Corner,” either getting a plan together to buy the store or get my own, and the suddenly prescient buy a house.

Prescient. I do not think that word means what you think it means. I’m going to use it anyway.

We drove around Springfield, dodging crack addicts, hookers, youth gangs and even a house fire yesterday looking at some of the places that we had scoped out on line. Yes, as we drove by we saw a house in the first stages of burning down, people running around, giant billows of smoke filling the street. Thankfully, not one of the places that we were interested. But yeah, springfield, because it’s 150% cheaper than living in YS, and with Allie and her mom moving to Indiana in the coming year, it’s not that super pressing to live in YS, especially given that they’ve passed another levy making it even more expensive to live there. Fuck it, when we can own a house that costs maybe 60,000 in the ‘field that would cost 130,000 in the ’springs. If not more. Yes, that’s between 60,000 and 70,000 for three bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and basements and shit like that. When you take into account how much we’re paying for an apartment in the springs, the math just makes sense. And yes, we did find a couple of places that looked to be crack, hooker and fire free.

We’ll see what happens.  Of course, this means I’ve gotta get my license. But that’s coming, I swear. For realsies. Add that to the non resolutions.

And for those of you playing at home, I think I maybe fixed the Feedburner issues, but you’ll have to resubscribe in your readers and email lists and shit like that. I’ll know for sure when this gets posted.

Off to watch Kenzie play guitar hero (another present from Christ’s Mass) until “Accepted” comes on.
