Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

you get to the waterfall

Man!

I have to admit, a fireplace seems like overkill in Southern California.

Punishingly Intricate

They're just treadmills, but with water.

The kind with the invisible edge are what freak me out:

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

It gets cold-ish at night, though. Since it's a desert climate, once the sun goes down, the temperature plummets. In the winter it's anywhere from 35-60, plenty cold enough for a fire. Even in the summer, it drops 20 or more degrees at night.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

No infinity pool, and I don't think there's a fridge in the theater or anything to keep pizza warm. There will be a popcorn machine.

I'm currently pitching a soda machine to complete it.

The marquee faces the loggia (one of three loggias) that's next to the tower.

I'm going to cross-post this interview with Mike Rowe here, for all of you Dirty Jobs/Discovery Channel fans.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Ooh, he doesn't need a soda machine, he just needs a penguin!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

You know what it is? Goddamn CONVECTION. Physics is conspiring against me.

Bernoulli effect!

Or so I choose to believe.

Even knowing exactly what Liese means by this, I just love this sentence.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

It's possible I should clarify. A person like Tim is capable of misinterpreting to literal penguin. And then I'd be responsible for the raising of a wild animal in an unsuitable climate, and there's just heartbreak down that path.

I think the dogs would eat the penguin.
