There's a Darkness in This Town That's got us Too

[tracker7]

It's somehow fitting that a town named Liberty, even with a small population, would put on a pretty terrific fireworks show for Independence Day. About a half-hour long, all manner of pyrotechnics. A heck of a lot of fun.

Dad bought a smartphone today, a Nokia Lumia 520. We've worked on setting it up for him this evening, and while I'm still quite happy with my iPhone 4S/iOS7, the Windows OS on the Lumia is pretty nifty.

Dropped into The Louisville Game Shop this week. Talked with Colin M about the hobby, confessed my intent to abandon print products outside of extraordinary circumstances - and asked him to set aside a copy of Age of Rebellion, which falls into the "extraordinary circumstances" category.

Still no interest in GMing anything, not for a while. Would like to play something, once I'm resettled, but the list of stuff I'd commit to isn't long. I really can't see myself even thinking about taking on a GM role for the next couple of years. School has to come first.

But not tonight. Tonight's been time with Mom&Dad and a fun horror flick and a couple episodes of True Blood.

On a mostly unrelated note, what sorts of rents are you seeing around the Louisville area?

We looked at six places yesterday, houses or converted houses, ranging from $750/month to $1800/month. The West End is cheap but kinda scary, Portland is becoming gentrified, and we found some surprisingly affordable places in Crescent Hill and the Highlands.

That is basically what it is here, only more toward the $1800/month end. So, what you're saying is I'm screwed no matter where I go....

Dammit, I posted a reply here and the aether ate it.

When I was looking for a 1BR place, I found plenty of options in the $600/month range.
