Four three-story rows on 30th Street, across and down from Dizzy Issie’s. I like the brightly colored doors, although I don’t think these rows are as deep as some of the rows elsewhere in Remington.

Three-story rows on the south side of 23rd Street. Just so my opinion is clear, I do believe that 23rd Street and 30th Street are the two nicest areas in Remington.

Taking into account my spelling — and possibly poor geography — these rowhomes are on Huntington Avenue, just below 30th.

Does anyone else, in the process of listening to 98-Rock, really want to stuff a sock in Mickey Cuchiella’s mouth? Mickey, if I want to listen to rantin’ and ravin’, I’ll turn on WBAL! Play some effin’ Led Zepplin!

Work today was slow. As in, no deliveries slow. As in, we folded every box in the place and were considering unfolding them again just so we could refold them.

Anyway, I got out of work at one. I was kind of dissapointed - I’d been hoping for some overtime, but Jamal didn’t want to give up any of his closing hours, and Noah didn’t want to give up any of their open hours. I wound up with 15 minutes of overtime, or a grand total of an extra $2.81 on my paycheck. Hey - every bit helps.

Getting out of work so early, I said to myself, “Jeff, what are you going to do until you go to your part time job tonight?”

Anyway, Molly Goatwax wound up shaking her head over my rowhouse sketch - boy was I waaay off on that thing. She let me head to the upstairs floor of Molly’s, and I got a good feeling for the size and layout of a typical Remington rowhome. The best news - and something I’d forgotten - is that Molly has a big pool table at the front of the bar, which means I’ll be able to have a big pool table in my basement. Woot!

I have a lot of photos, but the camera is in the other room. I was taking photos of all the 3-story rowhomes I could find - some on 30th Street across and down from Dizzy Issie’s, some on Huntington, and then there’s a whole slew of ‘em on 23rd across from Molly’s.

Interesting fact no one but me cares about — Paul has comment #800.

This post is entirely, 100%, conjecture.

This is a sketch I drew last week of the interior of a rowhome. Realizing that rowhomes vary in their internal configuration based on when, where, and by whom they were built, this is a bit of guesswork, generally as to the placement of the stairs, bathrooms, and top floor arrangements.

This “sketch rowhouse” has four floors, including a finished basement, and measures 14′ wide by 44′ deep - the parking pad adds an additional 18′ to the rear, and also includes a tiny deck, and if you look closely, some trash cans.

I spent a lot of time last night thinking about what I’d do if I was lucky enough to acquire a four-floor rowhome. As it is, I live in a two-bedroom apartment, so if I were to buy a three-floor rowhome, the only additional “rooms” I’d be adding to what I already have would be a recreation room in the basement. But with the additional rooms on a fourth floor?

A library? Workout space (lord knows I need it)? Theater? Oh, the possibilities are endless!

If you’re a fan of well written tv drama, or sci-fi, or Joss Whedon, and you haven’t watched Firefly — which would be the best show airing on television if FOX hadn’t canceled it (only proving themselves, in the process, to be asshates to the nth degree*) — then get thyself to the video store and buy a copy of the DVD set, or put it on your Netflix que, or do something, but get it, and watch it, and then go to Apple Movie Trailers tomorrow, because according to Ain’t-It-Cool-News, the “Serenity”** trailer hits tomorrow.

*Or, because I’ve watched so much Deadwood lately, “Cocksucking dirt worshipers!”

**See, after FOX cancelled it, they released it on DVD, and it sold so well that Universal bought the rights to the show and turned it into a movie. It was supposed to come out this month, but with Hitchiker’s and Star Wars, they decided to bump it to the fall - September, to be precise. Sucks, but what can you do?***

***Besides, uh, watching the trailer fifty million times, I mean.

(Speaking of Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, there’s a little informal gathering to see it Sunday at the Rotunda. Couldn’t figure out how to access show times for Sunday from their website, but I figure by Friday there’ll be more details — shooting for afternoonish, I think.)

There is a 26th Anniversary Edition of The Jerk being released on DVD on July 26th.

I am not interested in buying The Jerk, however, I will still be 26 on July 26th, and I’ve been a jerk lately, so there’s some kharmaic rythym going on here, and I just felt like I should call myself out.
