I Recognize That I Need To Get A Life
► Somewhat interesting developments here on the street. Dean left for work at 7:00am as usual, but called me from her cellphone ten minutes later. She told me that when she left there was a police car parked in front of our apartment, and how weird that was. After hanging up, I went to the front room and sure enough, there was a squad car idling in the road. Shrugging it off, I went back to bed.
Five hours later I woke up and went to look out the front windows again. This time there was a big truck from the electric company, with an electrician working on the meter of the store/building across the street, and a group of nearly a dozen vested police officers and fire department guys. I stepped outside onto our balcony. Our neighbour below us was sitting outside with a friend. I had evidently just missed them carrying out stuff from the building. He told me that last night someone broke into the store and an alarm went off. The first police car was there waiting for a warrant. Apparently, when they went into the building to investigate, they found a marijuana grow-op in the basement.
I've no idea if the grow-op was the work of the owners, the renters in the apartment above the shop, the people renovating the shop these past 2 weeks, or some other renters. The authorities are gone now, and a few trucks are there (ones that have been working there lately. Curious.Derek: just interesting because in the past 2 weeks the no parking sign was taken down only to be put back up a week later, and they've been doing a lot of busy work around the building, which is surprising, think they'd be too stoned
Matt: Hahaha
I just wished they'd take that fucking "no parking" sign off of our yard.
► Dean had asked me to call and reschedule a doctor's appointment she has next week since she can't afford to take time off for it now. Calling 5 times yesterday, and 5 times today, I can not get an actual live person. Their automated messaging system doesn't even have a voice mail option. Someone has to be there since calling at noon I got a different message saying they were out to lunch. Yeah, no shit.

► Lionsgate Picks Up Dark Jim Henson Co. Puppet Film HAPPYTIME MURDERS - This movie has to be made. Seriously. Seriously.“Happytime takes place in a world where humans and puppets co-exist, with the puppets viewed as second-class citizens. When the puppet cast of an ’80s children’s TV show called ‘The Happytime Gang’ begins to get murdered one by one, a disgraced LAPD detective-turned-private eye puppet - with a drinking problem, no less - takes on the case with his former human partner.”

► The Week in Geek: Why Does Zack Snyder's 'Superman' Kneel Before Zod? - It does strike me as odd that Warner Bros's big plan, after Superman Returns unsuccessfully (to the tone of $391,081,192 worth of unsuccess) recreated Superman The Movie, is to attempt to recreate Superman II. I love General Zod, but give us a new villain.Derek: would be nice if it was a villain we haven't seen in a movie yet
Derek: like Brainiac or Mongul
Gene: unfortunately superman's rogue gallery is weak
Gene: and not recognizable by the general public
Derek: Superman does not have a weak rogue gallery
Derek: he has dozens upon dozens of big villains, sure his rogues aren't as notable as the Flash, Spider-Man or Batman, but he's in the next tier
Gene: but if you ask someone on the street to name 5 superman villains they can
Gene: not
Derek: ask someone on the street to name 1 Flash villain
Gene: and that is why it will always be lex or zod in movies
The general public are only aware of General Zod because of his appearances in the films. You make a Superman movie with Mongul, Metallo, or Parasite, they're going to be household names too.
