thats why we should evacuate the burbs and build 50 story soulless concrete apartments for everyone

i agree but until there's social infrastructure, im gonna have to raise my kid in a place that:

1. wont try to murder him if he's gay, or trans, or whatever
2. will let my wife get medical care she might need
3. i can buy a house in
4. (this is a big one!!) won't burn us all alive
5. preferable but not necessary: has good public schools and stuff

so that means the suburbs of california. i'd rather live in LA but (3) and (5) don't work. i could move to the sticks and would love it, but then (4). i could move to a non-coastal part of CA, OR, or WA but (1).

once the boy is an adult (1) and (5) wont be issues any more, and (2) likely won't be either as ms jones and i age. then i can start lookin at non-california intersections of (3) and (4) maybe

cls: ms jones just finished* the kitchen. it looks way better than it used to. when we moved in, it was lit by a big fluorescent light behind that frosty-wavy glass. took that out and oh hey cool that's a skylight. that area's finished now, and the cabinets are all resanded and painted white and all have new hardware. got a new oven.

things to do, none of which are urgent:

* new backsplash (ms jones says it's mint green which sounds ugly, but im colorblind and it just looks off-white so lol idk)
* new counters (ms jones just wants them cause butcher block is cool)
* new sink (ours works but the shape is stupid)
* new microwave, ours is aging pretty hard

we will probably revisit the above once the stucco's been fixed, and we've painted, and we have new gutters, and we've had a landscaper come out and give us the once-over. i'm probably gonna just call a handyman to patch the stucco after the leak i mentioned earlier gets fixed, then we can put off painting as long as we want basically

can't wait to get everything checked off. it's happening though, if slowly i haven't smelled gas or been pissed off/terrified by terrible electrical practices in months! hell, this place is starting to border on safe i think (famous last words)

i got the swiffer and cleaned the bathroom floor in my home office today

ngl i miss it when work would clean my posting station for me. that was cool. i make it a policy to clean that bathroom on the clock as an impotent attempt to balance the scales after taking a pay cut for the crime of costing less to employ

ive been doin a lot of janitorial work today. updated my windows vm, installed all the software for my kenwood ht, and now i'm upgrading unraid.

i had a meatball sandwich for lunch. i put in _two_ slices of provolone and extra meatballs. it was good.

didn't go to the nature preserve today - i still don't have hiking boots and i told little jones we couldn't go on the trail i scouted last time until we had hiking boots. it'd be fine for me to go again, but i don't wanna go back on my word. and the other interesting trails are way the gently caress back in the canyon and i'm not lookin for a 10 mile hike today

tomorrow we'll probably go, though, and probably do the same stuff we did last time. it'll be rad.

update: now we're playing with an rc car in the driveway. holy poo poo these things are fun

Oct 16, 2004



this thing runs off of 5 AAs (and 2 in the transmitter lol)

it's rad, my folks sent hm 3 RC cars like a year ago when we were still in san jose and had absolutely nowhere to play with em. he did a good job with some school stuff so i pulled one from the closet and gave it to him. my dad and i have good memories of playing with rc cars together so it's pretty cool

i might have to bust out one of the other two, though, so we can race and stuff. this rules

That one RC car we had when I was a kid that could flip over and keep driving because of the tires being bigger than the rig was phenomenal

little jones had one of these that was small enough he could play with it inside. it was the fuckin best (until it stopped working)

when i was a kid my parents jumped up and down on the "do something you love" thing. go to college, don't work in a factory, study your weirdo humanities stuff if that's what you love.

it turns out that doing what you love 40 hours a week will turn it into something you don't love. i am very glad to have an easier job and not work in a factory and make good money, but where that money gets me is basically where my parents were with their dual skilled blue collar incomes almost 40 years ago: mortgaging a house, reasonably comfortable, can't go crazy with money but don't have to worry about it either if we're smart with spending. the main difference is that i'm doing this in california. other than that, it's basically the same

took a grinder to the lintels over my garage that were incredibly rusty and probably starting to gently caress with the mortar and brick above them. painted them with a nice grey rustoleom. they probably have never been repainted since the house was built in 1999.

owning a house loving blows.

lmao when i moved in i had code violations that were older than your house is now

lookit kd with his fancy brand new house, oh just take it for a spin
