today was monday. i made a list, but that got derailed when best buy refused to fix my computer, so i went to frye's and got this one, $260, a low-end toshiba.
other than that i checked my mail, got to drive across geist reservoir, and went to a pretty good libertarian party meeting.
frye's is in a fancy part of town so the dumpster diving on the way was pretty good. i have the alarm set because i have court tomorrow,
about the eaves that we got fixed this weekend, so if i get really lucky the case will go away now. or maybe they will put me in jail anyway.
now that i have a working computer i might get around to catching up on the last few day's comics. the $115 laptop i used a temporary thing wasn't up to it.
but for now i need to try to sleep, but it's hot and i'll have anxiety so i dont expect to sleep well.

my case about the eaves got dismissed today, after more than a year of hassles.
i went to 3 clubs, had 2 drinks, and came home with about 300 pounds of scrap metal. i cleaned part of the basement, rented a room to a mexican with a dog, had dinner with sylvia and ninetails.
i booked a screening for monday in kansas city. i missed a call from the waukegan clinic, and the kalamazoo clinic has nothing right now
with the case over, i can go back to doing studies.
i made a 5 item list and did them, then i made a 20-item list and did maybe 5.
i havent cleaned up my room yet. tomorrow i'll get up late and make a new list. next day: very heavy rain. roof leaking. haven't otten out of bed yet except for coffee. need to work on a list.

did not get out of bed. maybe because i had two drinks last night, maybe because there was a thuinderstorm, maybe because i have a new computer to play with.
one of my roommates recovered files from a computer i broke 5 years ago, so i looked at that stuff, and also caught up at reddit.
my car is still full of scrap metal that i guess i'll put into the basement since i got the basement a little more cleaned up.
the clinic didnt call back today, so not screening in chicago tomorrow for a $5K study. with the court case finally closed, i have a sense of freedom and fewer pressures; i can go do what i want.
thursday: not going to do a comic today, i'll just put it in the comment section.

i worked pretty hard today. got up around noon, spent an hour making lists, typed and printed my reinstatement letter, went downtown and got reinstated so i'm a lawyer again.
turned in the form for the criminal history but it wasn't ready so i came back but the office was closed, i was 3 minutes late, so they'll mail it.
they won't take cash, money orders only, which is what made me 3 minutes late. worst customer service i've seen in a long time. inelasticity of demand - they have a monopoly on what they sell.
some basement cleaning, vacuumed, took out trash, burned a little brush, chatted with the landlord's agent, sent an email, played phone tag with clinics in cincinatti.
tonight before sleep: move mattresses, email public access coordinator.
called mom for her 85th birthday, chatted about that time the senator came to our house, this was the senator that biden beat in 1972.
i made a key for my new mexican tenant,and collected $200 rent from the crackhead mechanic. i screen on monday so no club tonight. cleaned my room and built shelves.

the trip to kansas city was a wild goose chase. they looked at my chest Xray and it wasn't good enough to get in the study.
The trip cost me $100 net, but I came back loaded up with books and food and kitchen gear and scrap metal, so it's a wash.
1000 miles, which i will expense at 50 cents a mile for my tax records.
I had a green curry tofu dinner $10 in columbia and later went to a club there, and a different club in east st louis, had enough fun to justify what i spent.
came back spent the day burning brush, cleaning the yard, unpacking the car, dinner with the co-op crew, reading hunter s thompson "kingdom of fear"
tomorrow i'll call for a screening in waukegan. i napped at rest stop but need some real sleep now.

wednesday i did chores around the house, trash recycling compost burning brush cleaning the basement sorting boxes making shelves moving the bulk buckets into a closet. could not get thru to waukegan,
thursday 9tales arrived on his new motorized bicycle, and cory gave us a fridge because he's moving to bloomington.
thursday i made a screening appointment for tomorrow, so i will drive all night. i washed the basement floor again, boiling water this time, made omelets, did laundry, went to the po box, collected
$75 rent from the mexican guy with the dog - i can never remember his name, memaw, meno, something. got the car a bit cleaner.
the public records counselor says it's not illegal for the police to require a money order for people ordering a criminal history, so my next step will be to take it up with the governor's office.
i have time to put out more roach stuff before i go. i forgot to fix my headlight. going to stop by the club before i leave town. so i'm keeping busy.

i had totally missed that we have a large new cast of characters,
from the fertile imagination of injokester.
i dont know who any of these people are,
but maybe i'm just not in on the joke.
welcome, yáll.
that's my line.

this just in!
the wisconsin supreme court, 4-3, has ruled that voter ID is constiotitutional, overturneing a lower court ruling.
however, they ruled that for the state to charge for birth certificates would be like a poll tax, so now wisconsintes can get free birth certs by asking, unless they were born somewhere else.
the majority opinions are full of errors and bad moves, but what interesting is that the opinion suggests voter ID in othewr states is
an unconstitutional poll tax.
maybe in a few days we'll leave a coment with links to the opinions.

went to waukegan. it went ok. they really tried to get me in, did my ekg's and blood pressure until i passed.
i'll find out next week. then the 14th when it checks in, i still have a 5 in 17 chance of going home; they only need 12.
came back with a full car, after a bit of dumpster diving in chicago. drove back via lake shore drive.
closest i've been to a beach all summer. oh well, hawaii for winter will be ok.
now i'm just busy putting away melons, blueberries, pineapples, limes, rambutans, mangoes, salad stuff, bean sprouts, fungus, wheatgrass, etc.

it's 3 am tuesday. on saturday, we did the serve, 45 people, good food, i met a new friend at the salvage society who wants to trade vintage junk with me.
sunday, 10 volunteers, 7 customers. house meeting, didnt do anything else.
monday, it rained, i stayed in bed, eventually got up and dumpster dived a couple hours.
plus some chores, dishes, vacuum, trash, recyling.
today, since i'm not asleep yet, i might sleep in, but the plan is haircut, state fair, make a list, clean the car, start reading princess bride, clean the fridges, make a better list.
start a memo. 4 am now.

legendary invisible pink unicorn here. i couldn't pass this one up could i?
but i dont really do stand up. that's more the centaur's gig.
i don't tell jokes as such, i just tell stories about my life.
they aren't laughing with me, they're laughing at me, if that.
perhaps i can edit this later if i think of a punchline.

today was tuesday. i got up noonish, got a haircut, mowed a lawn, bought bug stuff and a fan, went to the state fair, had dinner with roommates, took a bath, read two more chapters
of the princess bride, scheduled a screening for thursday since i missed the $4000 study by 1 point on my ekg. and that was my day.

frist one was easy: flat tire, no jack handle, wrong rim, shop's closed, good samaritan saved me.
yesterday my best volvo broke down twice, so i stayed in a hotel in hammond, caught an enterprise rent-a-car to waukegan at warp 5, screening went well for a $4600,
shopped for a locksmith in boystown, made it back to hammond by 6, dipped a toe in lake michigan, closest i get to a beach till hawaii.
$gas, hotel, rentacar, gas, toll, train, bus, a drink, one volvo. today wasn't cheap.
took a train to the loop and caught a megabus. it was 20 minutes late and so was i so i hopped on just in the nick. my computer had still been on indiana time and i lost my phone somewhere today.
i made it home, but the volvo is still up there, all its idiot lights lit up and wont run. rescue planning tomorrow.
since it was past 6, the coffee shop in the monodnock building was closed. that's when i realized i was late for the bus.
my clean socks are still in the volvo. i will bike over to the other house tomorrow and maybe buy a battery for volvo no. 49.
it's past midnight and i'm beat, although i should wash first. i'm pleased that not only did i cope, i kept my blood pressure and ekg calm enough to pass.

friday i slept in. collected $175 rent, spent it saturday to rent a van, then rented a dolly to tow the car, went to hammond, car was out of oil, so maybe it'll be fixable.
got home. tomorrow i return the dolly then the van. have to remember to gas up the van.
van $175. dolly $85. might have been cheaper to just call a tow truck. oil $15. people, check your oil once a week, especially before long trips.
gas will be around $50. go-juice at mcD $4. brought my henchperson kevin to take off the crankshaft, after brian and greg bailed. kevin did well. gave him $20 and a trip to a strip club. i also give
him free rent. came home, did some dishes, cleaned the basement, need to clean my room and check the chore wheel. maybe a bath.
this space left blank for now

came home, washed more dishes, a bath next, then chores, then figure out my to do list.
got taken to a club for my birthday, had some fun. came home, dishes, vacuuming, etc.

monday was my birthday. i slept in and did nothing. reddit mostly.
tuesday i picked up my volvo, number 49, since the wagons arent running right now,and also went to the state fair with my roommates.
wednesday i made a list, went to a bar association meeting, finally got a document from a state office, got another document from another state office, came home did some chores wasted time on reddit
still need to call mom, take a bath, go out shopping, and check in with my tenants who are my mechanics. maybe a little gardening, got some new seeds.
need a better list for tomorrow. i feel unproductive, like i'm forgetting too many things.
it was less hot today and i could almost move around and do stuff, but only for a while.

thursday i didnt get much done. i notice that's a patern on days after i've had anything to drink.
did a few chores around the house. vacuumed, watered my plants on the balcony i'd been neglecting, put a bunch of food into glass jars, finally took my bath, started looking for the key to no. 48 and
it turned into a bit of a cleaning frenzy, although my room isn't actually clean yet.
i got into the $4600 study that starts 8/20, so if they dont send me home i'll be back on track for the year financially.
'friday: barely got out of bed. didnt run errands, go to gencon, or clean my room.
now i have to call mom, done, then head over and see if no. 50 is fixed yet. i didn't make a better list or pay my bills or go to gencon or write any memos. i didnt find the key. maybe i have a backup
car was fixed and i got maybe $150 in free groceries, then hung out with a roommate's english friend and his canadian cousin. saw more bugs today. just set out more bug bait.

now that i'm at the new house, i suppose i could do a few strips introducing my new roommates.
sylvia's 30. harvard educated chef/programmer. can't go back to the old country. been on hormones 2 years now, looks more like this:
then there's Karl. 6'2", str8, canadian, environmental tech, plays bass in xander's band, sweet poison victim.
there's also elise and jeremy, xander and helen, jim, and jim's cat
jeremy designs SAT questions. elise does something involving subsidies for farmer's markets.
[i'm actually white, but you get the general idea.]

xander works at jimmy johns, is an engineering student, is in the band, interns at the worker justice center,and leads our food not bombs chapter.
he's a lot of fun. helen is a sculptor, a student, works at jimmy johns,and looks a bit like a young marilyn monroe. i have a crush on her and sylvia.
jim is a dubstep dj, has a pierced septum and some tattoos, is a bit of a hippie, even more than the rest of us, drives a volvo.
his cat is fat, pleasant to be around, helps make the place a home.
because the lease limits us to 8 people, our friend ninetails doesn't live here yet.
add in 4 volvos, 4 boxes of worms, a 20 room building, 3000 sq ft. we are in the ghetto, but right where we are is open fields and such.

friday night after dumpster diving i couldn't sleep so i watched canadian drama on hulu 3am. saturday i got up, made a menu for the serve, made salad and tea, organized garlic bread and a fruit plate.
serve went ok, served around 58 people. then we took the rest over to gencon, but we couldn't give it away; nobody wanted any free food.
http://apathywizards.bandcamp.com/
i stayed at gencon all day, mostly peoplewatching, caught a live band, a juggler, a magician, had a beer, etc. i want to go back and see the band's next show. apathy wizard from muncie.
i picked up a package for silvie, built a worm box, buried the rest of the compost. tried to sort out what chores i need to do before i leave on tuesday. mostly clean my room and the hallway and back
porch. took a bath because i had compost on me. will drink coffee, need to unpack my car, read my mail pay bills mow grass check the talbott house. return 2 emails. buy a phone, maybe pack already.
need to go to the other house to collect rent. there's another band tonight i might go to if i can find the 1100 block of spruce street. i might not end up doing as many chores as i hoped.

monday i was awake at 5 am, left the house at 3 pm. got 6 of 8 things on my list done.
paid $750 in bills, deposited $900 to cover it. post office, went to my house and watered plants, got clothes for the trip, found the schedule for the study, bought socks at walmart, got a new spare
tire. havent cleaned the car the rest of the way yet, or bought a battery or moved the volvos. didnt find the deadbeat roommate who by now will be broke after not paying his rent friday.
didnt write a long-overdue memo for joe. didnt email my sister happy birthday yet, or write back to my ex. i should go make sure the trash i burned in the back yard is safely out, and see if there are
any house chores that need doing. one of our house mates is back home after a long bike trip in oregon. i'm trying to stay hydrated, hot again today and syvia doesn't understand she shouldn't use
the oven when it's already hot. but things are pretty good on the home front. i hav som e mail to go through and i should pack for the study tonight.

tuesday, got up late, didn't get anything more done, but i packed and hit the road around 3 pm, routine road trip through chicago.
did not stop at either of the strip clubs i'd been thinking of. did stop at my favorite chicago dumpster and got 20 jars of almond butter,
during the 4 days off, i have an invite to visit a junkyard in WI on the fox river outside oshkosh.
but they turned out to be on the recall list. i also bought 5 blueberry bishes for $10. bushes.
tomorrow is day 1 of about 21. this first part is only 4 days, then 4 days off.
i'm at the $70 hotel next to the job site, instead of the $45 motel down the road. wifi and hot tub, i'm a bit spoiled.
the car is back to getting 28 mpg, and didn't break down or anything.

8-20-14
wednesday, day 1 of i'm not sure how many, 20something,
unless they send me home tomorrow. they have 16 and only need 12, so 4 of us will get sent home. the rest will dose at 8 am.
i brought a suitcase of paperwork to work on, but what i'm actually doing is checking the list of houses for sale at the upcoming tax auction. i try to buy at least one house a year.
the food here is as bad as ever, and you have to eat it all, unless you can manage to hide some. blood test, piss test, ekg, blood pressure, all the usual first day stuff.
they sent me home. made it home.
the staff includes andreas, a jarhead who keeps order, and justin, the wiseass who knows when to bend the rules to get something done.
they play a lot of good cop bad cop.

8-23-14
friday. collected $150 rent, spent $40 at a bar. hung out with jake, mike, kevin, greg, nemo, at the house. jake managed to knock over the seeds i planted, and i'm not sure what he's done 2 the wifi
the $40 was for a dancer named vegas. i'm met her before but hadn't caught her in lately. went ok.
turns out they went to a vegan fest nobody told me about. then we all went to a party and learned a new game, the bag game.
saturday: i made the corn, the potatoes, the garlic bread, the fruit plate, the mango lime drink. sylvie did the stir fry and we reheated last week's casserole. serve went ok.
xander and karl helped and a new girl who found us on facebook. they disappeared so i cleand up.
jake was suitably impressed. i also harbested okra, cukes and collard from my garden.
sunday: my plan is to go get jake and show him the co-op. this place is what he and i used to talk about having something like this.
then he wants me to come up to wisconsin with him but i probably wont.

today, friday, i got up by noon, drove 10 miles to the only locksmith that could make our key, 6 keys $52. sams club for plates for this weekend's events, $38, a little dumpster diving.
booked a screening tuesday for a $7K study at the usual place. last chance to get back on track for the year.
a $3K tax bill to pay,and some income taxes to catch up.
forgot to go look at those houses on temple, which was item 3 on today's list.

by arbi
8-31-14
on saturday we had a good serve, then i went and staffed a table at a music festival at a park by the river, so that was fun. sunday i skipped the serve and went back to the music festival.
it wasn't an event i would have paid $70 for, but we had free tickets as volunteer vendors. my roommates'band, sweet poison victim, was the only band i liked. hot girls, good food, cute kids, friendly
people, everybody knew everybody. anyway i also got two yards mowed, looked at houses re the upcoming tax sale, checked out a vintage store, dumpster dived some late season tomato plants. dishes x 2
my new tenant is going to fix a leak in the basement so i'm giving him a month free rent. one of my other houses was broken into since we were there last.
tomorrow i drive up to waukegan for another try at getting into a study. $7000 this time. whoops that's not till tuesday, i have no plans for tomorrow. so i could make plans.
no one was home tonight. they probably went to a party without me. so i cleaned up a little, the place wash trashed from a hectic weekend.

9-06-14
wednesday i screened in waukegan, went ok. came home dinner with the roommates and we cleaned up the back porch.
thursday did nothing.
friday i screened in cincinatti, after staying up all night. went ok. friday night roommate jim had a show djing at the Mousetrap so we went to that.
saturday serve went fine. i made the corn, rice, fruit plate, and salad.
i transplanted some tomatoes, helped clean up a little, have to go to my other house to do laundry then there's something called the french market we are going to after that.
so i'm keeping busy. did laundry, went to the french market, now we are sitting around a fire outside.

so it's been a week since i've made a comic, and apparently i didnt get anything done. got tested and don't have herpes, didnt think so but it's good to know.
i vaguely remember stopping by a couple clubs, mostly stayed home and reddited. friday was the tax sale, didnt buy a house.
oh yeah tuesday we saw a movie and had a panel discussion, getting ready for moral mondays which is coming to indy soon.
the serve today went ok. i made eggs, rice, corn, coffee, tea, and bread.
met a cute guy at the diner yesterday bought him a drink and got his number by a ruse, but at most we'll just be friends.
it's saturday night and i'm home just watching louis ck videos.

 

by arbi
9-21-14
another 8 days have gone by. it's past my bedtime, but i wanted to get in a comic before i sleep, get up, head to cincinnatti.
some day this week i didnt get out of bed. reddit and 4chan. other days we've been busy with rev barber of moral mondays was in town
so saturday we fed 100 people and raised $106. stayed in after that, napped and washed dishes.
today, dumpster dived 50 starfruit, served maybe 20 people, house meeting, talked to momn, havent packed, havent washed, havent read my mail or cleaned my room.
check in tomorrow for a long complicated $4300, if they dont send me home.
met a dancer tonight. ava something? not adrian. Avery! i think. A very cute dancer.

So we just dosed, so I'm in the study. It was a small shot in the stomach area, didnt hurt. 13 people, mostly black. It's noisy but we are only here for a few days.
This study has a lot of follow up visits so it will drag on till december, and i'll either have to rent somewhere down here or drive back and forth a lot.
I'll end up making $15K from studies this year, less than I hoped, but enough to live on. Maybe I can sneak in one more study in december.
I hadn't gotten a study since may so i needed to take what I could get, and this one's actually pretty easy, just long.
there's a good chance i'll spend the last two weeks in november in hawaii, then fly back for the last outpatient.

9-24-14
today was an easy day, 2 blood draws. wasted the day online instead of doing anything useful.
even yesterday wasn't hard, got a shot in the stomach, didnt hurt or swell up or anything. i don't actually remember what this study is even about.
ok, it's for psoriasis and arthritis. it's a drug that's approved in europe but not here, and we are testing for new company that wants to make the stuff.
the stuff costs $20,000 a year, and made 3 billion for pfiser. ours could be competition and maybe someday bring the price down in europe.
in the usa they extended the patent for another 16 years.
we are getting 4K and change to the guinea pigs in this study.

long time no comic. i bought a computer the next day, i just havent been keeping up with the comics.
the study is going fine. i'm back home on a 2 week break in the middle right now. each day i would have adventures,
so now it's a little unclear how i should handle that. make 20 comics, or just a long comment section entry?
today started off unproductive, but i found 60 pounds of cheese, went to the post office, wrote two short memos, made a list, and now at midnight i'm making a comic.
today i bought some revereware, a bike,and a tux, $50 total. i have a date saurday if i dont get stood up. hope i can find my brooks brothers shirt with the french cuffs. i know i've lost my bow tie.
M- came back from cincy. T 4 cases avacados. W hung over, then an art project with helen

I had written out a list of all the stuff I was going to work on today,and I did get up early and do some cleaning in the kitchen and bathroom and my room, but then i ended up never leaving the house
didnt pay the bills, didn get my car worked on, didn't go through the mail still in my car. I guess it's time to get up have some coffee and get back to cleaning my room.
My room has two parts, a 10x10 room, then a closet with a window and sink and a shelf. So I've kind of made myself a nest in the closet, and store junk in boxes in the room. So today's chore was to s
start getting those boxes in better order.
went to a movie at the worker justice center, which is a former union hall we have the use of. movie about urban farms,and the filmmaker was there, on a panel with one of my roommates. good time had
by all. i drank too much coffee so now i'll be wide awake.

i still need to write up a notice of tort claims.
wednesday: didnt get much done today. the second week of my break is almost over. did a little blogging.
went to the bank, paid two bills, got some zinnia seeds, cleaned the stove, continued my game of thrones marathon.
we had a really good dinner and house meeting today. 4 guests, one guy gave a talk on prison reform stuff we might get involved in.
tuesday went to a workshop with xander at his media collective project, held at a cool ecocenter that had fishponds, an internet radio station, a yoga dojo,and a full kitchen that i might want to
borrow. the workshop was on how to set up a wordpress blog, which was tricky for me because i had to give wordpress a fake email since i've been banned there before.
hanging out with wine afterwards was fun. two hot chicks with media and campaign skills. well not hot but interesting.
the wine came from the benefit i went to saturday night, after helen stood me up because her parents were here.

10-23-14
thursday. i didnt get much done. game of thrones marathon continues. i went on a drive to a couple of nice private colleges on this side of town but didnt find the meeting i wanted.
then i went to another meeting at the ecocenter, an aclu presentation on know your rights. outlined a notice of tort claims that's due soon. the meeting was at the ecocenter where we had tuesday's
workshop, and was organized by the brother of one of my roommates, it's a small world kind of thing, 5 people i know were there. didnt mingle well.
nice autumn weather, going to need heat soon. made a list of stuff to do tomorrow, but i'll be up all night with season 4.
i forgot to look up during the partial eclipse. it wasn't really noticeable and my attention span is short.

 

by arbi
10-24-14
today was busy since i had to catch up on chores i've been putting off while watching game of thrones this week. paid my lawyer dues, renewed my 3 volvo plates, bought some red tape for my volvo
tailights, post office, got a money order for the texas taxes, made a list, checked it twice, dropped off a space heater for my newest tenant, got a refund on my sam's club membership,
spent 640 today on various bills.
took the recycling to a dropoff spot, took out the trash, sent some emails, went to city hall but you cant pay tickets there anymore, po box and shopping, might go for a drink later since my window
for drinking is closing, i go back to cincinnati sunday night.
and i dropped off the notice of tort claims so that's done before the deadline. annoyed my roommate because the printer is in her room and it startled her.

been a good day so far. it was just me and xander cooking, then jim came by to help with the serve. i washed most of the dishes, nobody else is home.
we went and looked at the church we want to buy. I see 17 rooms that can be bedrooms, and 3 large spaces for um activities.
The most important thing we learned is that the church that owns it now would give us a 1 year owner financing arrangement.
That's risky, because we could lose our down payment if at the end of the year we still dont have a loan, but it's a way we can go forward. So I'm excited and happy.
sunday goal: pack, clean car.
I stopped by a club, found 15 pounds of granola and some firewood, came home did the dishes, blogged a little.
Might or might not go out tonight, might or might not pack for my trip, might or might not clean my room a bit more.

It;s sunday. We had a picnic at home instead of doing the sunday serve. We had a meetinbg for food not bombs, thenb i picked helen up at the airport, then we had a house meeting, mostly about buying
the church. there's firespinners outside now, but i'm inside, trying to get ready to go to cincinnati tonight. moved my plants inside for the winter.
i just pulled the trigger, emailed the realtor that we want to buy the church at 9K down, 1 year owner financing, 6% interest 15 year term with a balloon. at the end of the year.
we found 9 people to commit $1K each. cute possible new house member is spinning fire outside. -oh they are done spinning.
the dishes aren't done. i got my room cleaner, but not really finished. talked to mom, didnt buy my tickets for hawaii yet. gonna go hang out with housemates.
didn't go over toi my old house to maybe collect some rent. still have one errand tonight.

ok i'm back. it's been 9 weeks since my last comic.
i had to reformat my computer, and that signed me out, so i had to go look up my password, and well, i'm just lazy.
meanwhile it's been adventures. finished cincinnati. went to maui for a week.
did a horrible study in illinois with a tube shoved down my nose, not worth the $2k it paid.
went to denver, hung with james at the bike pit, got into a study that starts in a few weeks.
the whole way there i kept the engine running because my starter was dying. tonight it died. i'm back in indy.

we had 12 people fo dinner last night and admitted wes as a co-op member. i didnt call mom or find the car keys for #48 or put a battery into #49, so i'm sort of carless right now.
like a squirrel, i stock up on food when it's nice so i can stay in during the winter

Did somebody say Reindeer Games?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116908/
personally my favorite xmas movie is "the long kiss goodnight." Geena Davis plays a mom who just wants to get home to her daughter, after she hits a deer, bringing up repressed memories.
samuel l jackson plays a helpful elf.
what?
say "what" one more time, motherfucker.
