the horror....the horror..

as promised, the royal tour... from the living room which I can't put on here, we enter the spiral staircase into the studio watch out for the evil catface during the day. now the studio. its very bright in the day time a closer inspection of my work table. i just got access to a shitload of free paint so i havent organized it yet. the other view, and what im bout to go paint when i get done posting this. (not the owl, thats just left over from the big painting) this is the roof that on nice days i can walk out on and spraypaint so it doesnt fuck up my air inside. back down the stairs - cat attack and my little office area where i meticulously plan out witty responses to internet questions. To the guy asking if I actually did graffiti, ll I have to say I guess i'm just a different type writer than you.

update: looking better. still getting bits of nasty shit out but it might just be puss.

actually you can't piss in there or it fucks up the compost. I just pee outside.

The second floor is a studio so i just paint and paint and paint and then try to sell shit. Other than that I get most of my work off craigslist. labor and creative gigs... I really enjoy painting signs though, that's the most satisfying.

It might have been in the "your art thread" in the untitled section. I put it in there about two weeks ago after I finished the ya rly.

oh man....holy shit I forgot about this thread. I saw this a looong time ago, like on one of my first visits to 12oz... I remember this!! I remember thinking, so this is ch.0... I'll stick to brick slayers, thank you.

Thanks man.. This is the only shot I got of the outside of my house. My state's thread got shut down for some reasons and such, so I gotta keep it simple. Anyways, this is the front, I got two paintings i did hangin outside chillin with the other animals. I'll post some more tomorrow when it's daylight.

No shit? That's awesome. I'm not ashamed at all of my house, and my girl loves it. I have lived in the city a while and it's just too much people. Everywhere...Rather have bugs and birds and squirrels and spiders and coyotes, but that's just me. What city you livin in, just curious.

I see a brown recluse pretty much every day, but you get used to it. They dont really wanna fuck with you. We got wolf spiders that get huge and they eat the recluses so it's no big deal. But fuck yeah I still check the toilet every time!

you already know...

Man, I usually just eat whatevers in the garden. On a side note, if i DO get pizza, if you call in and ask for the employee discount, most places will give you 50% off. You gotta do some smooth talkin though. Edit: this only works on domino's and papa john's, from what i've tried. worked every time though!

The pictures were taken the day after! But yeah haha.

Whatever I have for breakfast, this is in it.

the only downside is the retarted ass meth heads that live in trailers around here. But i'm far enough back that they don't come down my driveway so i rarely deal with them.

Dude my girl loves it. She found the house and wanted to move in but didn't have a car at the time, so I took it. Now she got a place right in the city and we go back and forth, it's dope.

This is now a thread about my house...hah. I got city water, but only on the kitchen sink for now. I have yet to fix up the bathroom. It's really a fucking beautiful house, and that's pretty cheap for rent i think, at least to live by yourself.

It's pretty cool. It actually doesn't smell bad at all. The lime totally kills the smell. I was hesitant at first, but it's super straight. I live in a small city in middle tennessee.

man, out here, it's pretty intolerable of that kind of business. Not that I give a fuck, but some dude at the bar I shoot pool at asked what songs he should play on the jukebox and I suggested Rocket Man, by Elton John. Holy fuck. The whole bar got dead quiet and I had to play it off cool, like "oh uh, i meant skynnard....play some skynnard..."

I have a compost toilet. It's a cement chamber that you poop in and then pour lime/sawdust/soil into it and it decomposes. after it gets pretty full you switch the toilet over to the other chamber next to it, and when that fills up the first one has decomposed into harmless compost which you can use to fertilize non-food plants and flowers and stuff. Rinse/repeat. I do have "plumbing" for my kitchen sink, which just drains out into the woods. I get city water though, but i don't have hot water.

$400 a month, electric included, internet included, water included. its far enough from the city that I don't ever see people unless I invite them. I can walk out my back door and onto a trail into in a cedar glades park. I chop the dead cedars for firewood to heat my house in the winter.. I go to sleep listening to owls and frogs, in pitch black night, and I wake up to birds. I have chickens that I get eggs from every morning, and a garden. Granted, the house was pretty fucked up when I moved in but I've spent 4 months repairing it and now it's perfect for me.

The setup I havent set up the sink all the way so i had to use a bucket its doin pretty good There was a little bit left in there and to finish the tour of the bathroom, here's my toilet. its feelin a bit sore today, but no big deal...once I got past the skin, below that didn't really have any feeling. it was weird. Here's hoping for no return visits!

95% of this thread is video games, tv shows, and movies. Same on you all. What ever happened to hiking? Cant never take that shit away.

man, i just dont like doctors and all that business. It seems like I should be able to do it myself. I like the idea of not relying on someone else to fix you.. Like now if I was stranded in the forest I know that I could use my survival skill of cyst removal.

Man, I fucking smashed my thumb with a hammer today, too. What a gyp.
