COMICS! |OT| January 2015. So many variants you'd swear it's 1995 instead.

ok that sounds sad until you factor in how many comics you could read in the comfort of your own (parents) home on your days off
Clinton in 2016 swears the turn the economy around for Sociology majors with 5+ years of retail experience
or a sitcom

Rent-free? If yes, I say take it.
That's a valid point. And it is a fact that I console myself with when I think about my current situation.
JEB BUSH 2016. LONG LIVE BUSH.
Yes. Yes it does.
Yep. For now it's not a bad situation. It's just this combination of having to pay no rent and working a dead-end, soul-crushing job causes me to get complacent and that's no good.
It has worked out well though. I've been able to save up all the meager income I do get.
Also, on a completely different topic, pretty sure I just heard gunshots outside. Huh. Night keeps getting better.

JK. They were just fireworks. Probably celebrating my and Tyrant Rave's engagement.
But for real, who sets off fireworks in the heart of fire country during one of the driest weeks of a dry year. I'd prefer it if they were gunshots.

Got my Stray Bullets Uber Alles in among others from IST today. Don't know if ai'll ever read it but I had to help out a fellow comics superstar. It's been. A few days since my most recent order and still no circles are half full yet.....
Well, hey, the offer might still be standing whenever your classes finish up! Send me a PM whenever that time comes and we might be able to work something out. I have a feeling I'll still be on the lookout for a roommate in half a year's time.

Stray Bullets is going to be ComicGAF Book Club #2. I got mine in my last IST order.

Well I'm glad we decided that X-Statix will be third (?) Book Club title cause I'm gonna be spending mad money this week on comics.
My classes end in mid-May so I'll remain hopeful.

This is confirmed? If so I'm gonna place the order like right now
Is that what we're going with? I thought it was Nausicaa?

Do it. Stray Bullets was decided a little while back.
I thought so, but we can figure it out later. We're still only on #1.

I don't know anymore. Someone needs to keep a list of what's what so I know when I can spend money.

I'm a bit ahead of the others, and I'm at the halfway point. Waiting to start Book 2.
I own X-Statix, too, so we'll figure shit out.
I nominate Kipp as the official ComicGAF Book Club organizer.

Kipp is the Defender of Wallets so that may be a good idea

I'm pretty sure we said this when we thought about doing a Secret Santa and the ComicsGAF podcast
I still say that we gotta get skype for this.

ComicGAF is the place where dreams and ideas are born and die but never truly live.
Seeing her recent comic sales, I would say a lot of people have forgotten about her book as well.
By the same token I met my wife at university randomly, and moved in with her a year later in what everyone widely predicted to be a stupid disaster.
We've been together fourteen years now.
Kipp that was the most amazing story I've read, I'm sorry your friend is such a dick. But hey, maybe when they get divorced in a year he'll be ready to move to Colorado! A friend of mine did something similar a few years back, married this chick before they had even been dating for a year, needless to say it did not last or go well for him.
Kipp |OT| - hope it works out breh

You can't be an X-Men fan if you don't end up hating your previous favorites at some point. Character assassination is the only goal of X-Men now.

I have to say HOLY FUCKING SHIT BALLS at that rent. I pay 1600 a month for a small 2 bedroom apartment.
People rush into shit now adays like mad. My GF and I moved in together at around the 3 year mark, and 2 years later now we're getting the So when are you getting married and having kids questions.
Do you guys remember in that first Spider-Man movie game you could play all the missions as Harry in the Green Goblin suit? That was cool.Harry Osborn as a Spider-Person were really an awesome idea
I miss old games where the extra characters/unlocks played totally differently. The missions in that game played way differently too when playing as the GG
And the gameplay was different? Never tried this :O
I just miss games having unlockables period, and stuff like that not being relegated to paid DLC.
Yeah, from what I can remember you could fly around on the glider and throw bombs and it had James Franco doing narration.

Where is a good place to start with uncanny x men and all new x men? I've read up to 15ish issues each and then I just fell off. I'd like to start back on both but without having to buy 30+ issues. So what would be a good hopping on point for each?
ComicsGAF: The House. I'm down for that.
Cool! Well definitely shoot me a PM then if you're still interested. Living with a guy from ComicsGAF would definitely be preferable to a completely random person from Craigslist.
Haha. I graciously accept.
Haha. Oh geez.
And, I mean, I do hope things do work out for him and they are as much of a perfect match as he says they are, but man...
As a pretty weak silver lining, the $145k loan pre-approval that I got is good for anywhere in the US though, so now my options are totally open. I should just move to Maine and live as a hermit.
With my luck, that OT would just go horribly wrong and end up in disaster. Like, it would probably get moved to community or something awful like that.
$400/month wouldn't be for the whole house, to be clear. It'd be effectively $1200/month (or close to that at least) for the whole three-bedroom house, and then split three ways, that's $400/month each.

Still 1200 for a 3 bedroom house, I'm guessing its more than 950 square feet? I'm just insanely jealous of people with affordable rent. Rent in Northern NJ is disgusting. By the time I add in water, gas, electricity, and internet almost half of what I take home is gone.
I didn't have a specific house in my sights yet, since I was planning to drive out there and look at houses next week (oh, that's another thing I forgot to mention; I asked off work all next week and when I called my friend who was going to go out there and look at houses with me, he was like "Oh, yeah, I told my work to put me back on the schedule because I figured you wouldn't want to go anymore"), but most of the houses in my price range were between 1000-1500 square feet.
