I've done this a few times. I basically had to move for work to a distant city and couldn't make earlier trips to check out apartments first. One time I had a family member who lived nearby check it out for me, but I moved into one place unseen because it was literally the only apartment in a small town I could find.

It's a shame real life isn't like La-Di-Da Magical Perfectland where you have friends everywhere in the world who can take a picture for you or you could completely trust a landlord to not do everything in their power to deceive you about the crappy apartment they're trying to dump on you.

I want to live in Perfectland. :sigh:

According to that Huffpo article, he wasn't even supposed to be performing. This is just some janitor who went to clean up some spilt beer onstage and then decided to give them a little performance.

My girlfriend's sister rented an apartment sight unseen. If they had actually taken the time to visit it, it would've been rented and gone already.

I live in a 3 floor 2 bedroom with finished basement "apartment" with a back yard garden and immediate access to every conceivable public service and fast food delivery of every ethnicity just a few minutes outside of Atlanta. For $750 a month.

Coming from jersey, I have no idea how people live in Boston/NYC/Chicago.

80% of my books are on my kindle (I sold/donated everything that wasn't digital) and yet I have a "library" where I smoke a hookah and sit in a cozy wingback chair while reading garbage fiction and tweeting shitposts as I gaze out floor to ceiling windows on autumn's changing colors.

Anyways, face swaps are still kinda funny:

The apartment I live in now, I rented sight unseen. I was moving up from Olympia to Seattle and in the time it takes to take the afternoon off work and drive up, places get rented. I put in a bunch of applications that I was too late on and once I got one that looked good in the ad and I was first on, I pulled the trigger sight unseen.

The place is nice, though, so I guess it turned out okay for me.

The sudden reminder that I have no fucking clue what I'm talking about
My current place is the upstairs of one half of a duplex in downtown Columbus. I share the upstairs with my girlfriend, and our other friend takes the downstairs since it's his place originally. Thus, he pays one half of the rent and bills, and we split the other half.

I pay $200 a month for my share of rent, gas, and electric.

Then again, no dishwasher, no laundry. On the plus, the laundromat down the street has a bar.

Years ago, I saw an episode of Bear in the Big Blue House, where there was a stack of books on a table. One of them was called The Brothers Bearamazov. It gave me a good chuckle, and made me wonder what other amazing references I must have missed as a kid.

Fake edit: after googling it right now, I've discovered that Bear in the Big Blue House is co-produced by The Jim Henson Company. So I guess that explains that.

Sesame Street was always big on these kinds of relatively-harmless jokes that only adults would get, with I think one of the first ones being Monsterpiece Theater with Alexander Cookie (Cookie Monster), and I think it's at least part of the reason the show had as much staying power as it did. Every other kid's show at the time was just pants-on-head retarded and you'd want to shoot yourself if you were forced to watch it as an adult because you were keeping an eye on your child. It's pretty much the most watchable show that's aimed at 3-year-olds.

This is true of all the best shows, really. The whole reason Animaniacs, Adventure Time, and others are so well regarded is that they're watchable to both kids and adults. This has a dark side, of course - this trait is what made a certain fanbase crop up around a certain show about pastel horses. (I had to watch some of it while looking after my little sisters and it was not as bad as I had assumed.)

Haha, I got to see a lot of little kids shows since I would watch my nephews a lot to free up some time for my sister. There's this one called "Big and Small", I believe it's a Henson production as well and one episode was about thunderstorms...imagine my surprise at this song:

Who at one point met God/Jack Kirby:

quote:

Dr. Doom takes over The Thing's body, forcing Mr. Fantastic to kill his old friend, then travel to the afterlife to bring him back. After fighting through a series of surreal metaphysical challenges, the whole team ends up at God's doorstep, and finds that the almighty looks a lot like Jack Kirby. The Kirby-God restores everything to normal, and then, ever the gentleman, tosses off a quick sketch. Amen.



And God's a giant dick because all Ben ever wanted was to NOT be The Thing, and obliviously Kirby-God could send him back as a regular human, but NOPE!
