Yep. I'll continue to do business with them because they own the note, but I'll never do business with them again and I am actively trying to refi with someone else all the time.

We write a check to our music teacher, because he has the same relationship with the grid that KH does.

All having to take the check to your bank cause he doesn't have a checking account.

I was like that for a long time, but now I am minimally on the grid so I can

I'm pretty sure he'd be happier if we paid him in weed and booze.

I guess maybe it says at least two things about being a musician that dude had a riff in his head and he asked us if he could borrow our boxed set of his old band so he could figure out if it was one of their songs?

So, LFM's comic is only available in physical copy, right. Too bad, I was curious to check it out, even willing to withhold judgment about it.

The absurdity is veiled by the poetic charm with which the poet invests it.

Oh, shit...

Dude, I really liked the book, man, I'm sorry!

Things really got weird there for a while.

The, uh, we're still moving stuff back up to Little Falls, man, my girlfriend's doing the last run to the storage facility in Wiliamsburg we have the end of our stuff in right now.

My bad. My bad.

Christ, I forgot so many things during that particular karma tornado. Thank you thank you thank you.

Aw man, that book was written by Ivan Brunetti.  I recently unearthed his 3 issue series "Schizo" which I originally read when it came out in the 90s.  Dude's work is BLEAK! How bleak?  Issue 2 shows a baby in a stroller committing suicide.  It's relentlessly bleak.  I can't believe this dude is still alive.

It does contain one of my all time favorite cartoons of a kid with an Anarchy t-shirt getting beat up and yelling for the police.
