The Aftermath

Tuesday February 09th 2010, 12:04 am

It sucks to even have to think about money when someone dies, but it’s a reality. In my case, I’m inheriting full responsibility for a shitty, run-down old house that I need to maintain from here on out. You would expect that when a persons whole family dies over the course of 5 years or so, including an accidental death (re: double indemnity) that the beneficiary would be left with some considerable money. I know people who have had just one family member die, and been left with some seriously life altering amounts of cash. Well, it comes as no surprise to me that when the dust clears I will be left with little more than some new bills to pay. The money I’ll be left with from the insurance policies isn’t enough to improve even one room of this fucked up old house. It won’t be enough to clear my old debts and repair my credit, and it sure as shit won’t begin to do anything that involves “a new life”.

Like I said, it’s pretty much what I expected. But it really would have been nice to have just one pleasant surprise in this wretched existence, especially during such a fucked up time.

Death, cont’d.

I was planning to write a post just pointing out the new design of this site and some other casual shit like that. And then someone else died.

I’ve always tried to like The Mars Volta. Each album has had some interesting, memorable moments, but as a whole I found each of them to be damn near impossible to sit through. And don’t even get me started on the bullshit jam-session live performances. But Octahedron finally sees the band craft more focused pieces that can actually be called songs. The lyrics are still artsy-fartsy stoner baloney, but that’s fine in this case…

Is it really weird to exhume my dog that died at least 15 years ago. Has to be all bone by now, right?

Wow. Do I even consider taking on a Murphy Bed project when I get to the bedroom? That would rule.

I'm kinda not excited to see Alice In Wonderland. Tim Burton seems to have entered into that sad realm of predictable self-parody.
