Minecraft -197- A New Home

After wandering the world and ending up well over 1800 blocks from spawn, I've found a new place to call home.

Worse Than Kids, They're Musicians

I just got news from Samantha Stevens down the street. She's been watching the goings on at the previously empty house between her house and mind.

She just called to say that kids might not be a problem after all because she hasn't seen them move any kids stuff in yet. She did however see them unload not one but four Palatino Bass guitars, several saxophones and (please let this be wrong!) a set of drums.

I like music (instrumental that is, can't understand the crap that passes for lyrics these days, especially since they don't sing 'em anymore, they scream 'em.) But what I don't need is a bunch of teens gathering to all hours of the night screaming their alleged "music".

I mean seriously, it's hard enough to concentrate with all of the assorted interruptions I'm constantly plagued with, I don't need this go with it.

**Update**

Just got off the phone with Sam again, she says that they've got kids after all. Apparently a whole carload of them just drove up. I can only hope that they've just got one and ten of his or her friends are showing up to see the new house.

Time to invest in some ear plugs just in case.

Maybe I should put a sign in my front yard, "Danger: Crotchety old fart lives here, eats stray kids for breakfast"

New Neighbors

It's looking like I might be in for some new neighbors.

On one side of my house is a family of four that moved in a few months ago. They're mostly quiet except when working on vehicles, watching football or screaming at their two kids. Not exactly wonderful but I've had worse neighbors by far.

On the other side is a house that's been empty for well over five years. I've enjoyed that time, the people who lived there before were among the loudest, strangest people I've ever seen. They moved out by throwing everything in the house out through one of the bedroom windows.

This morning somebody was there mowing the lawn for the first time in three years without the city first issuing a ticket and threatening to fine them an obscene amount of money for leaving it go so long.

Along with the guy doing the mowing there was a truck from smith equipment unloading some large boxes and storing them in the garage. I can't help but wonder why anybody would need stuff like that in a residential area. Then of course I remember Jakob around the block. He's building a rocket engine in his back yard. Says he'll be able to get to the moon with it when he's done.

No 'Extra' Weight Loss For Me



April 21st, 2012 15:25 pm by Ed

Somebody told me recently that while being sick is miserable I could at least expect to lose a few extra pounds during that time.

Well, sadly it's not to be. Apparently they were thinking that by 'sick' I was doing a lot of throwing up and not much eating. This couldn't be farther from the truth. I'm not throwing up at all and my appetite, while dulled a little, is fairly normal. So when, just for grins, I got on my scale and checked my weight it had actually gone UP a few pounds. The reason of course for that is that due to being sick I'm not being nearly as active as normally. (Think lots of sleep)

So no, being sick does NOT automatically mean you're going to lose weight... unless you're hardly eating and doing a bunch of throwing up.

Some time spent waiting for Ocelots to appear but apparently I'm not patient enough just yet.
