One of my auntie’s has the Bread Bible in her kitchen, and the Cake Bible as well. She’s an amazing amateur cook and pastry chef, and she’s used her copies of both thoroughly - they’re beat to shit.
I think you’ll find good use for that, is what I’m saying.
Once you get drawn away from the cars, it’s a really nice view, MR. What floor are you on - 3rd or 4th or what?
Despite the lights, can you see the stars at night and if so, what constellations can you see out there.
What direction does that face?
Enjoy your new place.
It’s strangely peaceful and melancholic, possibly because it’s sunset/evening. I say “strangely” because he frequently mentions people he knows getting murdered.
Yes, a sunset can be quite melancholic - also like a kind of bitter sweet.
Any other words to describe what you see “above”?
4th floor, facing north-ish. The building is only 2 years old. So it’s still really nice. They’re putting up another one in the next year or so. Just across the intersection. If I"m still here, I’m moving into that one because it’ll be taller, and newer.
Also, MR I like your cabinets and stainless steel kitchen accessories. Looks nice.
That stuff came already in here. Between that, the granite, the tile, and the floors I was like yeah OK I’ll take the place. I also have a little screen next to my front door so that I can see anyone who’s downstairs trying to get in, and I can either buzz them in, or call the cops with the push of a button. It feels empowering. One day, they were servicing the elevator, and I had to bring groceries all the way up the stairs. It was the worst experience of my life.
Oh yeah you can see some stars. Just not over those bank buildings. To the right is an old abandoned blast furnace thing that’s used as a music and festival venue and a haunted house in October and on the side of town it’s darker at night so you can see stars better that way. My old place was out near a bunch of lakes and it got really dark at night in the sky and I could see orion’s belt and the dipper one of em I dunno which one really clear from my balcony. I dunno what I can see here I haven’t really looked. If I had a telescope, I could probably watch people in those towers pace back and fourth between their cubicles. The building isn’t bad at all. There’s only 56 apartments here, and the 1st floor of the building has a yoga studio, (which has an amazing selection of healthy munches), a tapas restaurant that’s a little fancy but reasonble priced, a sandwich shop that delivers and a few other things. Mayne some kind of spinal therapist office, and a few new things moving in. Directly across the street there’s a bar that my friend manages so he gives me free drinks and food and all that, and they’ve got the whole “dance club” thing going so there’s always packs of drunken women just roaming around the base of the compound. Next to his bar are 5 more, and then there are about 10 or so restaurants within less than 1 and a half blocks. 2 breweries with taps, within 1 mile. Excellent stuff really. I like it a lot. This place was originally proposed to be built and these units sold as condos, and then they got funding to build, then some delays, then the condo market here got flooded with all these renovated abandoned factory buildings getting turned into high end lofts, and so they decided to keep building this one, but to rent them as apartments instead of selling them as condos. So they finished 2 years ago and I had to wait about 4 months for one to become available that I wanted even though I know the manager and was referred by another guy who knows him it was a bitch but I’m glad I got it.
This one place serves all kinds of beer, and they also have these chicken nuggets which are fried, then dipped in waffle batter, then soaked with a bacon flavored maple syrup. Think about that man. Really just stop for a second and imagine you’re baked, then you walk down the hall, take an elevator down, and stumble 150 feet and then you’re got chicken nuggets wrapped in waffle batter covered in bacon maple syrup with a beer. It’s like a miracle when something like that is the case.
So it’s snowing now. And I can’t even see the buildings across the way right now with the fog. Crazy stuff.
loll a miracle or a heart-attack?!
Both.
That’s the way to do it. Makes me think of back when my mates and I would have a big night out in the city, acid or whatever, then finish up after sunrise at the casino TV lounge for long island ice teas and potato wedges. Talking about acid, got slipped a couple of dots the other day, didn’t even know then waiting to cross the street and BAM! Almost collapsed there and then on the fucking footpath waiting for the walk signal.
I hate when that happens.
My most recent purchase is a plane ticket. 3 hours notice, and my friend is coming up to see me for a few days. Should be a blast.
On 17th, we purchased this Honda scooter for my wife.

That isn’t a Honda, that is a Chinese manufactured scooter from TANK (what the company was called back in 2008 at least). I had one, and had it imported straight from the factory, had a gouge in the back metal wheelframe and would deflate and pop suddenly, which sucks if your on the highway, woke up in the hospital due to that defect, nice pothole crater in the road where my head hit.
The engine is a exact Honda engine replica.
The guy who runs the website vespa amore looked it over and informed me of this, he is a big scooter expert in the US, and also runs a icecream shop (just cause, not because he needs to).
The TANK factory sells them under slightly different models and “company names”.
Very disappointed with my downhill speed, I was getting passed up by minivans full of kids going full speed down steep hills.Don’t even want to talk about uphill.
Waste of money.
I just bought this off of craigslist. Got a pretty good deal on it, but I can’t pick it up yet because I don’t have a trailer big enough to haul it. Plan to do some bass fishing and water skiing with it. I’m really psyched about it.
