For Easter, my aunt gave me a clock. A clock that looks like a pizza.

Tacky? Oh, I prefer the word ‘kitchy.’

That’s okay - my kitchen likes kitch.

(Note to self: take out the trash, idiot).

UPDATE: Oh my god, they’re on eBay, too.

Did you know that Mr. Belvedere was based on a comedy film from the ’40s titled “Sitting Pretty”? Now you do!

I got a little lost heading into Scranton — luckily, I saw this building and used the convenient map to figure out my way. I’m kind of surprised it came out looking this non-blurry … I was doing like 30 when I took the photo.

A view down the hill from my aunt’s back porch. The big gothic lookin’ building is North Scranton High. Isn’t the terracing cool? Honestly, it sort of reminds me of Hampden. (Not that I’m all that familiar with Hampden).

North Scranton High School. Condemned since I’ve known it. A few years ago they had some signs on it that indicated it was going to be rehabilitated … but the signs there now say, “Condemned.” So … anyone want to break in with me?

The aunt’s Devil Cat. Miserable beast.

Dan Jassim’s classic, with the Lucas-effect, introducing:

Go here for the whole bit, and here to compare the new to the old. Don’t worry, Han still shoots first.

A few days ago, I got notice from my leasing company that if I don’t provide written notice by mid-April, my lease will automatically be renewed, and my rent’ll go up twenty-five bucks starting in July.

And that’s fine. I live in Timonium — Cockeysville/Hunt Valley, really — and I have a 2-bedroom apartment that I currently pay $684 for. Even with this hike, I’m unlikely to find a better deal (as it was, they gave me a huge deal with this place already — I pay what most people do for a one bedroom).

But! Yes, there was a point. I’ve been thinking of moving to the city for a few years, y’know, buy a place, move into the Big Bad. Not for a couple of more years, anyway (repair the credit, etc.) … but randomly searching for Hampden apartments for rent I came across this site.

So even though I’m not going to use it to find a new place, those of you who are fearless city dwellers may find it useful.
