Mixed feelings today.

Groceries are terrifyingly expensive. It is now 100% indisputably cheaper to get as close as possible to a balanced diet by buying fast food than buying portions at a grocery store for one to two people without them going bad before being used. It's insane. Infuriating. Unfair. The only way to get efficient iron rich protein for a good price is fast food.

If you remember the incident where roommate had a little fit about the expensive carton of eggs? Now the cheapest eggs cost that much.

Hope is not lost though. Because I managed to find seeds for the specific species of heirloom pole beans I have positive memories cultivating as a preteen. Buying what is essentially if you do it right a yearly renewable source of a fuckton of beans was significantly cheaper than buying one serving of beans. However the problem arises in that will I be able to grow them? The issue is that my green thumb seemingly died around the same time my childhood innocence officially did. Maybe there's a magic in innocence and the love of nature. Who fucking knows. I'm jaded and miserable now. The only thing I've cultivated lately is grief and trauma. As a toddler I was growing orange and apple saplings from store bought fruits (although I suspect they may have been genetically altered to never flower) and as my childhood progressed I grew oak saplings from acorns. But long ago, ages, a lifetime ago really, back around when I first moved in with roommate I tried growing an oak sapling from an acorn again but it just moldered and died. Now maybe that was because the air quality and the lack of sun and the awful humidity but it made me very sad.

Later after that I adopted a near death Venus flytrap (who was named "Shadow" if you recall) and I successfully saved him from flowering (really big pain in the ass when it comes to flytrap husbandry) only for me to accidentally leave him behind at a friend's house who then killed him before I could bring him home. 😔 (I was between moves at the time)

But these are the special childhood beans. And they were cheap. And I got at least ten of them. And I fully intend to do as good as I can by them. I have been thinking about them beans all night. I have so many memes about beans I can post but I need to find them.

Anyways grocery shopping is horrific. I am more and more further radicalized by this inflation. There is no reason for it, don't blame some eco-friendly policy or person who's been in office for less time than it takes anything substantial to happen or whatever it's 100% companies profiting and making the consumer pay for it. Inflation harming the middle class while companies rake in record profits is not a flaw of something unless it's directly related to capitalist greed.

Also I may have irreparably broken one of my favourite (and harder to come by) music box movements. In order to repair it if so I will need to completely disassemble it and replace the governor assembly or do mild "smithing" work to the governor assembly. (Heat and hammer lol) My stupid worthless bumbling tremor hands when attempting to remove a stuck figure turning assembly accidentally bent it. Don't get me to do brain surgery lol 😔 I'm pretty saddened by that. Because I managed to find a music box mechanism for a specific music box song I like at a thrift store in the wild. Usually they play some generic shit that I don't like listening to for more than a couple minutes. But I will solve this on my own (hence why I'm not naming the song so a well-meaning friend doesn't get me another mechanism.)

Some good news though is that (before trying to buy groceries lol) I bought that special item I was saving up for. I even got it for 100 USD cheaper because I did a "best offer" with the seller. They didn't ship to Canada so I had it sent to Fishy who offered to help me out when things like that happen.

Anyways I'm thinking about them beans. Gonna spend the rest of the night trying to fix this music box mechanism. I really do not want to have to completely disassemble the parts not meant to be disassembled outside of the factory. Stress.

Beans.

masterpost ☀️ main masterlist ☀️ taglist

previously on...

Chapter 5. We have stucky, we have stevesambucky friendship, we have a new place to live and strange being a good guy because tony definitely ranted at him. Also, we're beginning the creepy part of the plot. I have decided that sam will be one of the main platonic characters in this story because I love sam.

fun fact: I used to be a creepypasta writer! Going back to my roots here, hehe.

Things had stated changing, for better or worse, much sooner than I had been prepared for - but was anyone, ever, really ready for the next big step? Certainly not me - the view that greeted me after I'd finished my shift at Jeremy's was peculiar and unexpected, so I froze, eyebrows high at the two super-soldiers parked, once again, illegally, right in front of the entrance door.

"Hi, doll," Bucky was reclined against his boyfriend comfortably, his bike standing a pace behind Steve's, who nodded companionably, a sheepish grin on his face.

"G'day," I nodded, eyeing them warily. "I think I know where this is going..."

"No, no, nothing like that," both men frantically waved their hands around, Steve coming up close to approach me slowly. "You're not in trouble. I came out here to say thanks," giving a sappy look to the grouch that was his boyfriend, Steve reached into his pocket and handed me a slip of paper. "Just, uh..."

"Those are our phone numbers. Don't hesitate to give either one of us a call if someone bothers you," Bucky took over the stammering blonde, shaking his head at the soft blush that blossomed on the good captain's face. The brunette wrapped an arm around Steve's shoulders with a shy smile of his own. "Or if you, I don't know, need someone to carry your groceries or something," he snorted. "The punk wouldn't leave it alone until we came out personally to thank you, the sap."

The laughter bubbled up from my chest as I grabbed and pocketed the paper, throughly amused and at the endearing gesture. "Sure, thanks."

"And, uh," Bucky's eyes briefly looked to the side. "We'd appreciate if you keep the status of our relationship to yourself for now. We're not, like, officially out yet."

I froze in place, mouth falling open. Surely they were aware that anybody with a functional pair of eyes could see that they were much more than 'good, lifelong friends'. "No problem, guys. Lemme know if anyone gives you shit about it though, this place," I gestured to the café behind me, "is strictly paparazzi and homophobe-free."

Steve's grin grew even more genuine. "Yeah, we heard all about it from Tony and Stephen. Said 'twas the only place they go these days."

I wasn't aware of that. "It's the paps, isn't it?" I remembered Tony's remarks.

Bucky shook his head, the metals of his prosthetic arm whirring as it recalibrated. "Not only. The public hasn't had the best reaction to a man goin' out with a man," the brunette looked away to the side, where Steve's face had fallen considerably. "And Tony's an eccentric rich man. We're jus' two soldiers. The US Army won't be too happy if we... Came out," both men were crestfallen yet determined.

I had a hunch nothing would be able to separate the two - seeing as not even seventy-odd years and brainwashing and ice couldn't keep the captain and his sarge apart, I doubted that a few government weasels could successfully do the job. Even so, it was unpleasant, to say the least, to see them deny themselves something that technically was perfectly fine in the 21st century.

I chewed on my lip, gathering my wits. "I've clocked out, I can tell you this as a friend- as a person. You don't owe the army jack shit. They do not own you, you are your own person that they experimented their German knockoff steroids on. Respectfully, fuck that shit." I firmly stated my opinion, figuring that there should have been at least someone that told Steve that he is more than his star-spangled uniform and giant metal frisbee.

The blonde scrunched his eyebrows together, fingers gripping onto his belt until the knuckles went white, the hard line of his jaw set firm.

Bucky laugh took me by surprise. "Agreed, doll. I'm too old to be hiding in back alleys and shit," he clapped on his boyfriend's shoulder. "Although I'm happy enough with just not going to prison for bein' in love with this idiot."

"Jerk," Steve's responding pout was downright adorable now that I knew the circumstances surrounding their relationship.

Which wasn't exactly surprising. As a barista, I knew my fair share about my regulars' love lives, their jobs, their kids. The tea was almost always piping hot. "Bye, boys," I smiled at them warmly, throwing a glance at the time, adjusting the strap of my bag for comfort. "Stay outta trouble!"

Steve scrambled for his bike, having noticed my pointed gesture. "Sorry, didn't mean to hold you back. There, I have a spare helmet," he gestured behind him. "I'll give you a ride."

"There's no way in Hell I'm getting on that death trap!" I shouted cheerfully, walking briskly towards my second job, hiding a laugh in the warmth of my scarf as two very offended motorcycle-loving gay fossils sped past me, making truly incredible amounts of noise. Good for them.

Odette was content to let me rummage around the bodega without showing herself more than necessary, taking her appointments and doing- well, witch stuff, I guess, only coming out to poke at the various jars for ingredients.

"Star, I have a proposition for you," right before closing time, Odette's voice filled out the store with its low drawl. "A good friend of mine owns an apartment building, not far from here actually, and one tenant recently moved out. It's a safe space for those who are different," she enunciated the last word, fixing it with a pointed stare. "She's not overly fond of total strangers coming to live there. The rent is reduced and the apartment itself is slightly bigger and more fashionable than yours..."

"Where's the catch?" I found myself interrupting her. I wouldn't lie: the reduced rent and increased size of the apartment did interest me, as well as the probability of a kinder, more involved landlord. My current one was - not the best, but such was life in the NYC.

"There are a few rules to follow, rules that might seem strange at first but they'll make sense in time. And your neighbors might be also a little... Unusual," Odette carefully studied my face for any signs of displeasure.

I sighed.

And then I sighed some more as I was signing my new lease in a few days' time, having spoken with Porter, my new landlord, and his boyfriend who had claws and fangs- after so much time spent around Odette's, I didn't even blink. The couple liked me enough to extend a secure but flexible offer and some furniture to choose from the attic where they kept the spares.

I quite liked the large, vintage couch I placed next to the wide bow windows in the living room. The floors were hardboard and well-kept, the walls a nice, homely shade of green and Porter didn't mind any new holes in them that might arise from hanging up decorations. I scheduled a thrift crawl at the next possible opportunity, happy with the "good employee" bonus Odette had given me after I sealed the deal.

My stuff was boxed up, a sleepless night and a call to a begrudging Jeremy to have a couple of days off to move; I was, thankfully, not late on my schedule and all that I had left was to rent a car to move the boxes of my things and the few pieces of furniture I had decided to keep - my haul in Porter's attic had been incredibly rewarding and my new apartment had all the basics to make it look like a warm, inviting bohemian home in a while.

My phone rang suddenly, startling interruption to the romcom I was watching as I ate my last lunch in my old apartment. "Hello?" I answered the number without looking.

"Hi, doll," Bucky's voice rang out cheerful. "A little witch told me you were moving. I thought you might need a hand?"

I blanked momentarily, the thought of enlisting two very busy super-soldiers to haul ten boxes and two endtables worth of stuff not having crossed my mind at all. "Is this the moment when you stop by my house just to unattach and put your prosthetic arm somewhere and leave?" I asked, hearing distinctive snickering - several more people were with him.

The cheer in his voice blossomed into a full belly laugh. "You're funny," he teased me. "And thanks for the idea. But no, I have a room full of men that have nothing better to do but get on my nerves. Might as well make 'em useful," his accented drawl thickened the more we spoke. Muted cheers rang out in the background.

"Uh, sure," who was I to look a gift horse in the mouth? I rattled off my address and warned them I didn't have a car, after which Bucky assured me it will be taken care of. The last remaining knick-knacks packed away, I went down to take out the trash, and returned to four people standing in front of my apartment building, all except one unrecognisable in their civilian clothes. "Hello," I waved at them, side-eyeing the tallest, grumpiest man of the bunch.

Stephen Strange was there, looking around curiously, hands in the pockets of his plain grey hoodie. I had already forgotten how normal he looked without his robes, and, frankly speaking, I preferred him like that. His title and the attire that came with it were quite intimidating.

"Hey there," a dark-skinned man who I recognised to be the Falcon, raised his hand. I had not met him yet. "I'm Sam, Sam Wilson. You must be the Star we're helping?" His quick once-over and the tilt to his lips; the ease with which he flirted had me brandishing smirks of my own. I led them all upstairs, Stephen's silence being just so loud. Sam, however, had no such reservations. "So, you're a witch, right?" Wow, subtlety was his middle name.

"Yes, I'll show you my broomstick," I deadpanned, wiggling my eyebrows at him with a grim look.

"Woah woah," Sam raised his hands as the three men behind us snickered loudly. "What happened to 'how are you? let's have dinner sometime'?"

I did my best imitation of an evil cackle as I let them through my front door. The four newcomers looked around my nearly empty apartment with muted interest before zeroing in on the pile of things in the corner: a few pieces of furniture and nearly taped boxes. Should be a walk in the park for four men.

A hand on my arm pulled me from the stupor of observing Sam, Bucky and Steve act like a well-oiled trio, bantering and teasing each other as they discussed how to best move the things.

"Look," Stephen Strange had all the appearance of a chastised puppy. "I wanted to apologize for my behaviour that day. I was out of line," the low notes in his voice made the appearance of the apology being somewhat reluctant. Tony probably put him to it after our little burger run.

Irregardless, I wasn't looking to make any enemies. "Me too, I was under stress - not that I'm using it as an excuse," to give where it's due, I nodded at the sorcerer, immediately awestruck by the easy, boyish smile that stretched on his lips.

"You are strong," he added. "If you would like to learn our ways, we would welcome you." There was a spark in his eyes, something belonging to man that respected and collected knowledge. My own respect for him grew immensely just from that one thing.

"I'll think about it," I offered amicably, however, I still leaned heavily towards a negative answer to that particular proposition. I liked my current way of life.

Strange's grin made a momentary second appearance, until Sam's voice rang loudly: "Fire in the hole, Wizard-man," causing the former to groan loudly and look at me.

"Think about your new place for a second," he spoke, briefly touching out fingertips. As soon as that was over, a golden circle with my new living room on the other side of it appeared quietly, Strange's hands immediately going back into his pockets after that. I sighed and pointed the men into it, stepping in a second after. The sorcerer wasn't far behind. "You could learn that, too, you know," he added wryly, having seen my look of mild envy directed at him.

"I think I'll be good with having the 'pissed off the sorcerer Supreme and lived' pass for now," I retorted with an eyeroll, turning around to stare him down.

He had the decency to look somewhat sheepish, at least. "I'm not like my predecessor," his words were chosen carefully. "And, to be honest, I have no clue as to why your... Boss is so hostile towards me- us," Strange looked around the room before unceremoniously beelining for the couch and plopping down on it.

"Not to be a gossip," I started, slightly intrigued. "But Odette and some lady she called ancient had mad beef," I slipped into casual language easily, trying to recall the details of Odette's, quite often jumbled, stories. "Sounded almost like territorial disputes," I shrugged. "And the apprentices Odette took on before me found themselves in all kinds of compromising situations," I chewed on my lip. "Like the Arctic."

Strange rubbed his face with a noisy groan, large hands doing nothing to mask the resignation and slight embarrassment.

I focused on the thin, red scars on his hands - they had to have been something serious, the way slight tremors betrayed the deteriorating state of the nerves in his fingers. I frowned, quickly averting my gaze before he could catch me ogling him. The fact thag Stephen kept his hands in his pockets or covered by gloves at all times didn't go over my head.

He muttered something to himself, something that sounded like he was often forced to clean up his predecessor's mess. "I see," was the only thing he'd offered me, looking slightly pitiful and apologetic.

"Well," I started, noting the last of my stuff was about to be in its rightful place, "as long as you don't toss me into the ocean, I think we can coexist peacefully."

"Tony would kill me if I'd tried," Stephen groused.

"Probably," I agreed. "Considering the fact he hit on me, for you, it would make one hell of a lover's quarrel," my hand pointed towards the kitchen as Steve and Sam carried in the boxes aptly labeled "kitchen", looking around a place to put them down.

"Tony did what now?" Stephen's tone dropped, a wry smirk decorating his lips as he eyed me through his lashes.

"Don't ask me," I raised my palms, feeling my eyes widen. "He's chaos personified and Satan only knows what he's got on his mind."

That squeezed a laugh out of the tall man, followed by a fond, sappy smile as he looked out of my large, panoramic window, probably thinking of Tony himself. There was no doubt, Stephen Strange was utterly and throughly head over heels in love with Tony Stark. Good for them, good for them.

"A-and that's it," Bucky walked in, wiping his hands on a kitchen towel I'd provided them earlier. "I took some liberties and assembled the furniture, Steve is stacking the dishes as we speak," the brunette noisily plopped down next to me, arm carelessly thrown behind me on the back of the couch.

"Oh, um," I stammered, unused to such random gestures of kindness. "Thanks a lot, you saved me a day's worth of time and a backache," I smiled, scooting over to make some room for Sam.

"No problem, not like we had anything better to do than argue which part of the Lord of the Rings is the best," Wilson rolled his eyes, elbowing Bucky none-too-gently.

Bucky elbowed back, thus starting a horsing war between the two, causing me to scoot closer to Stephen as I attempted to avoid any flailing limbs; the sorcerer and I shared an identical, perplexed sigh as to how two grown men could easily bait each other into such juvenile behaviour.

Whatever. It was kind of endearing.

Steve emerged from the kitchen dusty but smiling, having heard the commotion, and quickly herded his guys into a semblance of decent behaviour before all of three of them left, leaving me and Stephen to go back to my old apartment and give the keys to it to the guard. That was done, too, and a portal from an alley behind my old building straight into my living room had me and Strange awkwardly hovering, saying out goodbyes and waving to each other as the golden circle rapidly shrunk in size and disappeared, golden sparks scattering across my living room carpet for a short second before they fizzled out, too.

I used the brief moment of respite to find the small piece of paper containing the rules Porter had insisted I read and take seriously; figuring it might be a good idea to give them a read before beginning to unpack, I popped open a bottle of soda, holding the itemized list written in neat cursive to my face.

The further I read, the further my eyebrows rose:

"1. Keep your door locked at all times.

2. If a person knocks on your door claiming to be the mail man, do not open the door under any circumstances. You are free to ignore the knocking - it only lasts a minute or so. After the person has left, you may open the door and check for any packages.

3. If Samantha from 3B visits you and asks you to babysit, you may do so at your personal discretion. Her twins are a handful and their daily habits are not for the ones with a weak stomach, however, they mean nothin ill and will not harm you in any way.

4. Do not use the elevator between the hours of 1 and 4 AM.

5. There are no apartments under number "7". If someone claiming to be from those apartments knocks on your door and requests entry, come up with a polite excuse to decline and send me a text message. I will take care of it.

6. There is no garden on the premises of this building. If a man approaches you, claiming to be a gardener, don't interact with him and simply walk away. He will leave you alone.

7. You may meet a girl in a polka-dot dress playing in the hallways or in the stairwell. This is Lucy. Always be polite to Lucy - you won't like what will happen if you're rude to her. She does not talk but she knows limited ASL and may request to visit you. Allow her in ONLY if you have fresh meat in your fridge (beef or mutton, preferably bloody). You might want to avoid seeing her eat, however, it might be very beneficial to make friends with Lucy. She knows a lot of things.

8. If, when taking the stairs, you encounter inconsistent numeration of the floors, such as floor 2 followed by floor 5 and etc, simply walk a flight back. It will sort itself out. The building is old and sometimes it gets confused.

Important notice: these rules apply to your guests as well. Please make sure to introduce and educate them on these matters. We will help as much as we can should a situation arise but ultimately, there are fates far worse than an untimely, however swift, death.

- Porter and Lance."

A slow, creeping dread began to gnaw at my nape, curling on like a cold snake deep in chest. As if laughing at me, the warm, welcoming embrace of the green walls and the toothy, wide smiles my landlords had given me encouraged my recently found sense of adventure, all of it mixing into a cacophony of exhilaration and unease, equally steadily driving my running brain insane.

I sighed again, immediately going to the box containing my altar and the rest of the protective items. So much for peace.

Hello 2019! Can you believe it, 2019 already! Last year before we get into a new decade.

I hope everyone is having amazing holidays and enjoying time off and family time. I’ve been having a wonderful time, extremely busy. As I mentioned in my last post, I am working crazy hours and I have school, but with God’s help I’ve been doing alright! My Christmas was wonderful and I’ve just celebrated a birthday also, so thank for you all of your love and well wishes this past week! So let’s get into it, shall we!

I love being prepared and organized and I despise being last minute, I don’t usually do well under pressure. So I had already prepared some posts for December knowing it was going to be crazy and I made sure that my shopping and wrapping was done before December 20th, and it was!! Now I am preparing for the new year, 2019!

I’m so excited for 2019, because I’ve been at this blog thing since September 2018 and now I’m ready to start going at it more seriously and with God’s help and grace along the way. I’ve been so blessed to be able to share my stories, my opinions on Life By Faith. God has been so faithful and so amazing every step of the way. He is the reason why I started this blog, He put on my heart to do this to help other people and to share His under dying love. God has been so faithful and I cannot wait to see what 2019 holds for Live by Faith!

This time a year everyone asks “What is your New Year’s resolution?” and for someone (like me) who has never and I mean never stuck to her New Year’s resolution, I’ve decided to not do one. What I will do instead is write goals and a list of things to do in order to achieve my goals. I have many personal goals that I want to accomplish that will be kept to myself, but the ones involving the blog I want to share with you guys, so you guys will know what will happen throughout out the year and you might be able to keep me accountable.

So first thing is I’ve changed my blogs name from Sonia Banana Blog to Live By Faith, that was because I didn’t want the blog to reflect me, I wanted it to glorify God. God showed me Live by Faith through a book I was reading, it stood out to me and then it just stuck! So hope you all love the new name as much as I do!

Secondly my website like you’ve probably noticed, has changed a bit and I’ve been experimenting with new designs so I really like this one but we will see maybe down the road it might change again! But I’m a beginner with this whole designs so we’ll see!

For social media accounts! I’ve been on Instagram since the very beginning which is where I communicate with most of you! I joined Pinterest not long after that, and now Live by Faith is on Facebook! I really love social media, and it’s amazing to get my blog out there, but I need help in order to do that! So I would love your support and love on these platforms!

A few months back I did a post called Social Media Free Sundays...This was a wonderful idea and it worked well for about a month, but unfortunately I fell and have not been taking social media breaks like I want too. I know realized that this is a problem that I want to break so I will be now restarting this every Sunday and hopefully down the road I will be able to add another day during the week.

Fourth of all, I love having guest bloggers on my blog! I’ve had two so far and I’m currently working with a few others. But I would love to be able to share the gospel and have other people share their experiences or testimonies or just how in their way do the work of God. So if you have any good request or ideas on who you would like me to collaborate with, let me know!

I will also be completing my pixels in a year calendar again this year! I made a post about this, please go check it out! I’ve also created a template for you to join me on A year in Pixels, check it out: A Year in Pixels-Template

I will also be starting a new thing this year. Which is a yearly devotional and a prayer book! I have received a prayer journal for Christmas to be used every day for 6 months (I will continue for the rest of the year probably in another notebook). I cannot wait to start this! If you have any prayer request please send me a message and I will pray for you!

I will also be doing a daily devotional, I found this devotional at a thrift store and I was just intrigued my it. I bought it without knowing the author and knowing what it was truly about. When I got home I did some research and realized that’s it’s a book to help you get a fresh perspective and a youthful strength for pursuing the abundant life God intends for you to live. This devotional is called Abundant Life in Jesus: Devotions for Every Day of the Year by Nancy Guthrie. I cannot wait to dive in and start reading!

I will also be participating in “Year without shopping”. I will posting a post later on this week, explaining what this is and how I will be doing it.

My main priority this year is to put God first. I tend to take on too much and get overwhelmed and when I need God the most I tend to push Him away. Nothing else matters, everyone needs one on one quiet time with God. To read His word, pray and just spend time with Him. All relationships need that, why would our relationship with God be any different.

I’m sure new adventures, new ideas and new challenges will arise throughout the year, but I’m so excited to take this year on and see what happens. Now let me know below what goals or “resolution” you created for yourself for 2019!

Love Sonia Banana

Happy New Years! Hello 2019! Can you believe it, 2019 already! Last year before we get into a new decade.

Thoughts

I’m sure just about everyone has heard some relatively affluent person (middle class job, couple kids, suburban house) grumble about feeling financially pinched. Usually these people have crappy conservative views they share with their co-workers at the office, and together they grumble about anybody getting social services “must be nice,” they’ll say, “they (people on welfare) probably live better than I do...” Not sure why I am thinking of this. Maybe they just don’t know anyone who lives in poverty, or maybe the people they know they assume are outliers and “special cases” and “not like the rest of the freeloaders“. Maybe they even have their own experience of a job loss, or financial setback and they even view themselves as the exception to the rule that justifies their socioeconomic status and that of everyone below them.

...

I’ve read that it is true in America that the middle class only make comparisons of their situation to the people above them. Their boss that has a newer car or gets more vacations or has a larger house it a classier zip-code. I don’t watch much television as an adult, but it seems TV only ever portrays people of a certain affluence. You can tell by the gleaming counter-tops and the spacious imaginary rooms. To be poor in America is to be invisible. Maybe the Bundy’s in Married With Children or the TV family of Rosanne Bar, --but neither depicted poverty even if they were more recognizable. A little scrappy, but not poor. I think I am floored by this line of thinking, I mean, middle class folks rent space to store their shit because even though they live in a massive house they still need room to store their shit. They buy houses with enough room (with an empty room) in case they need to “grow their family.” The counterpoint to this (using myself here, disabled since 2001, I have worked at least part time all but a couple years since then). I have, --what is to me-- a very pleasant, cozy 2br apt for my son and I. I would imagine people with more money would be unused to quarters this cramped, but otherwise, coming to my apartment wouldn’t be that much unlike walking into a home of an affluent friend, --if scaled down. There’s the usual TV (a CTR for my son to play video games) a game system or two (gifts, often) and other electronics I use for my living. In the kitchen, the fact that consumer goods are cheap means I have either thrifted or been gifted all the things they would likely recognize in their own kitchens. Perhaps the basics, anyway, since I largely don’t buy small appliances. Still, there’s nothing here that screams to most people “dire poverty” (--to be fair, I don’t live in dire poverty, I’m just a hair below the poverty line with my income for selling art teaching and hosting events). Even though consumer goods are cheap, most of my clothes are years old, and I wear them until they fall apart. Even if you are poor, you can’t afford to look poor --especially as a teacher or artist. I have to have some suit jackets, and I have an abundance of ties. My furniture, like my clothes, are repaired again and again, until they can’t be any more. Gifts, dumpster-diving, bought second hand. There is maybe a half-dozen pieces of furniture I bought from an actual furniture store. There are some valuable things related to my occupation, or (frequently) gifted by more affluent family or gotten second-hand from friends.

I eat very well, but there’s a couple factors to this. There’s a the federal subsidy I financially qualify for, and I go regularly to food pantries (imagine if you will the unspeakable horror of off-brand cereals and peanut butter, --shocking to the affluent? Maybe?). Joking aside, being disabled I have more time than food budget so I stretch my dollars by buying no pre-made foods at all. A bag of potatoes in the long run is cheaper/more versatile than a bag of tater-tots. I make my own breads, pizza dough, and (often) my own crackers and tortillas.

If I am painting a rosy picture of “poverty,” --that’s intentional. I’m well aware there are many, many people clicks down the economic ladder. I’m protected from “dire poverty” by two things: federal disability and my education (which assures the work I do when I am able is paid at a much higher rate than minimum wage). My disability is also higher than most, because disability is calculated based on your last wage (ie: my last year teaching full-time). Interestingly enough, it is the people that live in “dire poverty” that the middle class maligns. Poverty cuts across racial lines and demographic concerns like the urban/rural divide that defined so much of this last election cycle. In Western Saratoga County (where I grew up) poverty was obscured by the fact it as down a driveway in a trailer park hidden by stands of trees to obscure it from the road. Trailer parks are tucked on side roads and dilapidated farmhouses with sagging porches. It’s part of American’s ugly legacy of racism that the popular imagination puts a brown face and Africanized name on poverty. But even where poverty is deeply entrenched it’s hidden because more affluent neighbors find it unsightly. They re more worried about their property values than homeless having a bed when the temperature dips during a NY winter. The max amounts for TANF (public cash assistance) for a family size of 2 or 4 people is $363 or $763 (assume single adult, kid, or 2 adults, two kids). On that, it would be hard to find an apartment I could live in in the city I live in. There’s a paltry $100 dollars more if you qualify for a “special housing need” which at the household of 4 is $711 a month, --which might get me a decent studio apartment, --might-- and with nothing left over for the month. And that is the first major problem of dire poverty, right there. Poverty means you’re pretty much always going to go from one crisis situation to another to keep living in doors. There’s a paltry $100 dollars more if you qualify for a “special housing need” which at the household of 4 is $711, --which might get me a decent studio apartment, --might.

“But why don’t they just get jobs?” Thanks for paying attention, Jimmy, --they do work. All public assistance recipients are required to work to get benefits. It’s been that way for years. Because you have a charmed life and have never needed assistance, you are lucky enough to avoid finding out that “just getting a job” doesn’t cure poverty when wages have been stagnant for so long that people are working their 40 and still can’t make ends meet or get ahead. Assuming they can get a full-time gig, because we in the US allow profitable companies to hire many PT workers have them work just enough so they don’t qualify for health care and benefits. If and when they get a bit ahead, their gain will be lost if they or a child gets sick or some other emergency expense arises.

Good try though, buck-o. This has been long. I could spill a lot more ink (or computer pixels --as it were) on this topic. There is an idea among the middle class that poverty should be made so mollifying and humiliating that people would be shocked into doing everything it takes to uplift themselves so they are never poor again. If you have spent time at DSS, look around at the tired, worried faces. It is exactly as humiliating and mollifying as Conservatives want it to be. But these are people with almost no way out. A job hasn’t gotten them out of poverty. The benefit they’re seeking won’t do it. These are people just being ground up and sent to their graves early by a broken economy with a dead safety net. If you ask a poor person how you strike it rich in America, --they will probably take you to a corner store or market and tell you to buy a scratch off. And economists that study social mobility in America will likely agree with them. Because the American dream is dead, and the dollar and a dream is what they got now. The American middle class is pinched as well, and feeling resentful. The middle class has been swallowing a meanly crafted folk-lore about poverty and supposed “generous benefits” that barely keep people in housing and alive for 30 years now. Even without any idea of what poverty is like, most middle class Americans are too scared to lose what advantage they have and are fighting like hell to keep it. Fighting for the status quo that grinds up the people below them. The middle class has almost no interaction with the poor, --generally. I wish I felt better about my country. I wish I liked people that are economic “winners” more than I do. (I do have many friends that are pretty affluent, --owning their own homes even in a city like Albany with it’s relatively high cost of living, --but most are urbanites who see the poor daily, and they get it. They are usually very aware of how good they have it and often I find they pick up the tab when we go out together --because money doesn’t matter, or at least not more than the company does, I hope). The question of whether “they have it better than I do” is pretty easily answerable, --however.

Pickup post #4 - It’s Sony weeks

So the last couple weeks were slow after the last GameCube find at work. Very slow, so much so I didn’t even find anything else Nintendo related. I am talking to someone about a GameCube game on OfferUp, so we’ll see how that goes. There is also a possible small NES and Game Boy game lot from another co-worker that is in discussion. So I have some things simmering, hopefully I’ll have something more to post about soon, but no more Nintendo finds. Everything I found in the last couple weeks was at a Goodwill, and was Sony related.

I have no problem with this, while not really collecting for Playstation per se, I do have some fond memories of playing many Playstation games growing up. Twisted Metal 2 was fantastic both one player and two player. I would play with friends, my dad, my brother, it’s just a great game. The sound effect you get when you get a kill is so satisfying. Will never get old.

Another series of games I spent a ton of time with was the Gran Turismo series. I had the original one first, as most did, and really enjoyed the experience. Starting from the bottom, buying cars, winning races, upgrading your cars or buying new ones and moving up the ladder. I eventually bought the second one and enjoyed it just as much. Essentially a racing game RPG.

All three of the items I’m going into now were picked up across the end of the month of May, and the first week or so of June. I was hitting dozens of garage and yard sales, combing OfferUp and LetGo. Nothing. I literally hit at least 12 yard sales in an hour span one day and got “Nope, my son took all those” as an answer at 3 of them when asked if they had any older video games.

This was why I couldn’t pass it up when I spotted Gran Turismo 4 on the PS2 at a Goodwill. Just needed to get something, anything to have a find at this point, and I was so fond of the first two. So I bought it. I don’t even have a PS2.

This game is near mint. Only a couple minor dings on the outer case, still very shiny. Manual is in very good condition, and the disc looks like it’s never been taken out of the case.

Snagged this one for $2.99.

Just immaculate condition, I was stunned for a $3 game sitting in a thrift store. I mean just look at the disc, look at it! Absolutely pristine.

I’ll be honest, I’ve never been a huge fan of the PS2, even badmouthed it on numerous occasions. Maybe even right here in this blog saying I’d never collect for it. It all stemmed from when I played Twisted Metal Black back in 2001, and the steering for driving in reverse was backwards from the first 4 games on the PS1. I loved those games. However, on Black I got so frustrated going the wrong way every time I tried to back up. I’d try to turn one way, the car would go the other and screw up what I was trying to do. Did you ever see those videos of the guy trying to learn how to ride a bike when the steering is inverted? It’s a Smarter Every Day episode. Click here if you are curious. Essentially what it comes down to is muscle memory. You’ve done something so much you now no longer THINK about having to do it, you just do it. While not as complicated as riding a bike, doing a rookie turn in Twisted Metal was something I’d done over and over again. It was automatic. Having it reversed, completely broke the game for me to the point where I almost couldn’t function. I know backing up is maybe 20% of the time in that game, but that still puts me at 80% effectiveness, because I was useless backing up. You have to be able to move in reverse, and aim at the same time. Not easy with steering opposite from everything you’ve known for the last 5 or 6 years in a series.

It crushed my love of the Twisted Metal series. The developers completely ruined the game with one simple direction change that was counter intuitive. Turned me off completely. Never had a desire to buy a PS2 after that. Because that was the ONE game at the time I was anticipating on the system.

Now though, heh...

In the thick of a retro gaming hunt, I figured there was a real possibility I could eventually get one, if for nothing else, to play my old PS1 games, and test any PS1 or PS2 games I pick up and intend to flip. I thought it couldn’t hurt to have a few choice games in the collection for the PS2, it was the best selling game system of all time for a reason.

Don’t get me wrong I am still a Nintendo fan boy at heart, and the vast majority of the content you should see in the blog will still be for Nintendo, but, good games are good games. Might as well enjoy them. If I find a good deal on a system or game that is not Nintendo, I’m going to go for it, whether I intend to sell it or keep it I’ll still post it up here for everyone to read about. Heck, I’d even be willing to give Twisted Metal Black another play if it comes along for cheap. Overall, I am game hunting, and Nintendo is not the only manufacturer and developer of video games. So with that out of the way, on to the next bit of the find.

Next up is Hot Shots Golf 3, I have played the earlier ones on the PS1 back in the day. They are good. Not blowing anyone away, but good fun games.

It is essentially a platform agnostic Mario Golf. So I figured it couldn’t hurt to have. I love my copy of Mario Golf Toadstool Tour. This one reminds me of that a lot, right down to the “Nice Shot!” it says after getting the markers lined up for a swing. When the girl at the Goodwill rings you out at the DVD price of $1.99, instead of the video game price of $2.99, no complaints here either. Especially since it was a little bit of a gamble. Admittedly, because it was pretty scratched. But I didn’t see any real deep ones, so it should play. If it doesn’t, eh, it was $2. Still, it was complete, and in good shape otherwise. Would I have bought it had I not been on a dry spell? Probably not.

Lastly, the Goodwill by my work had a PS1 on the shelf in the electronics section. If you read my blog regularly I have mentioned this one before as being the more robust in the video game department of the two I normally visit. Had the PS1 come into the one by my house it probably would have went in the auction case. If it was cheaper I may have picked it up, but it was a relatively high $14.99. This for a stand alone PS1, just the system, no cables, no games, no included controllers, no guarantee it works, nothing. However, it did have a dual shock 1 controller sitting there with it, with its own price tag of course. The sticks and buttons all felt great, tight and responsive. So I snagged it.

$3.99.

I took it home, cracked it open, and cleaned it up. It was in really good shape under a bit of the grime that was there. I hooked it to my PS1 to USB adapter and tried it with ePSXe on the PC. Works fine. Even the joys don’t have any grooves worn in them or anything. They did have that plastic “dust” under them that comes from use, but it cleaned up and looks fine.

The shoulder buttons are responsive and clean as well. Just an all around good controller. I couldn’t pass it up.

So $9.61 total for two games and a controller.

Apparently Goodwill is charging tax where I live. I’ve seen it be no tax before, but I think it depends completely on the region they are in. Wish it was tax free here, but alas it is not.

Kind of terrible that it took almost a full two weeks of hunting just to come up with that. I’m struggling for content on this blog as far as hunting goes. But, I’ll take what I can get. I’m going to keep at it, I’ll keep hitting yard sales, garage sales, flea markets and thrift stores as often as time allows. Obviously when winter hits, yard and garage sales wont be options. Those will certainly be slower months. Though, to be perfectly honest, I haven’t found anything at a yard sale or garage sale yet, so, what difference do those make, at least thus far? Dozens of sales this season under my belt with not a single find at even one of them. The prices are always much higher on other avenues, like OfferUp or LetGo. Everyone always checks eBay before listing anything, and usually wants close to that number.

The luck I’m having with co-workers and Goodwill I may just stop going to yard/garage sales.

I’m kidding, you won’t know whats there until you get there. So I won’t stop going when the opportunity arises.

Official business:

$11.09 - $9.61 = $1.48 game hunting money remaining.

YIKES!

Knowing we were very low on funds, like critically low, I sold the Game Boy Player from the last find. The auction was running when I bought Hot Shots Golf 3 actually, so I had a plan for funds. Even though we never actually went negative. YAY!

I had to use eBay, I had no other choice. Here’s the completed auction.

As you can see, it sold this weekend and it went for $67.00, plus $3.99 shipping. Totaling $70.99. Ebay is kind of terrible to sell on, you really feel like you get fee’d to death. But it works for quick sales on desirable items. Generally you get a little more than you could do in cash face to face with someone so it evens out somewhat. Not all the way, but somewhat. I figure if I sold this to someone locally for cash, I would get somewhere between $45 and $50 since they will likely want to haggle. On the auction, it sold faster than it would to find a buyer on a local site, and after Paypal took their fees, eBay took their fees, and I shipped it, I actually walked away with $52.88. So a couple bucks more than I figure I would have gotten. It feels like you are getting bent over, but in most cases the prices are higher BECAUSE of how much you get bent over and it sort of evens out. Lets put that back into the game hunting money...

$1.48 + $52.88 = $54.36

Whew! Close one, almost went negative. I mean I don’t mind if we go negative. You can’t know what’s going to happen though, if the right deal comes along, it may force your hand. As long as there is something to sell in that lot, or on hand from a past one to bring it positive again, I’m OK with extending myself some credit if I have to.

$54.36 game hunting money remaining. Happy June guys. Hoping to find something else soon so I can post some more content.

Dystopia Narrative.

Current Iteration:

In 2027, Dr. Elon Musk, key researcher during the Time Crystal Energy Renaissance of 2021 and creator of the TimePad/TimePad Mini, introduces the world to his newest creation, the PØD, during a Steve-Jobs-Era-Apple-esque press release. The PØD allows people to live several lifetimes in a virtual reality state over the course of a year while their bodies are suspended indefinitely in a state of flux on a plane of existence between time and space. He states the potential for his new creation while giving his audience a warning on living only virtually. Meanwhile, critics covering the event say that it could potentially be used as a crutch for society instead of a tool and that everyone will end up ignoring his warnings.

As predicted, people ignored the warning label on the inside of every PØD to leave occasionally, spending the rest of their lives in there, inevitably creating a virtual-only society, where the quasi-immortality granted by the PØDs are now deemed an essential human right. The PØDs are centralized in PØD Lots, where thousands of PØDs are organized nearby each other to easily monitor them. The PØDs are monitored by PØDBots, small artificially intelligent robots built to both fix the machines before problems shutting them down even arise, and build new pods for new humans according to the blueprint of The Creator. New generations are born into the PØDs and over forty years, most knowledge on how to function outside of PØDs is forgotten. As this occurs, the Earth slowly-but-surely grows back to wild, recovering from the damage highly urbanized human society had caused.

One day in 2057, the PØDBots all finally break down and lose power in one PØD Lot. A few months later, an older man is violently pulled out of his newly-virtual reality into real life. He struggles to escape broken pod, which still has an intact warning label on inside of the glass like every new PØD. He finally gets out, and waits for a PØDBot to come fix his PØD. He waits several hours, staring out at the PØD Lot his PØD is in, waiting for a PØDBot that doesn’t come. He adventures out, and finds a few broken PØDBots before realizing that there is nothing to fix their pod. He decides to leave the PØD Lot and go into the newly wild New York. He starts to feel hungry and thirsty but doesn’t know what to do about it because he never had to worry about that in the PØD, and there’s nowhere for him to actually get food. He goes into an overgrown electronics store to find supplies and PØD parts, but instead finds a tape recorder, and starts talking about his adventure so far. He starts to use it to document his adventure around wild NY. He tries going into a grocery store to find food, but everything is overgrown and all the groceries are expired.

The protagonist ventures back to the PØD Lot to see if he can break anyone else out of their PØDs so they can help him fix his PØD. He starts looking in and knocking on other people’s PØDs, but he starts to realize that they’re all dead: their PØDs stopped working, and they were all trapped inside; by some miracle, he managed to get out of his PØD before dying. As he realizes this, the sun sets, and it starts to rain, so he leaves the PØD Lot again to go look for shelter. He finds an abandoned subway station that he tries to take shelter in. However, while he’s looking around for a good place to rest, he hears a bunch of animal noises and banging in the shadows of the tunnel, and the noises start getting closer and closer. He pries his way into an overgrown subway car to try and hide from whatever is coming towards him, now trapped in there with no escape. On the floor of the subway car, he sees a TimePad Mini with a broken display, and successfully manages to get it working. As a last-ditch effort for survival, he sends the tape recorder through the created portal, having no idea where it may end up.

---

I thought of this original iteration at 3AM last Tuesday because I had a dream where all of this happened (gotta love researching dystopia before bed), so when I woke up I wrote it down into Evernote. (Please don’t mind misspellings/grammar errors, was done at 3AM.) All other iterations are based off of feedback I received while discussing the original story with others.

---

First Iteration:

Start - dr pødlieni, creator of the timepad and timepad mini, introduces the world to his newest creation, the pød (vr pod) during a press release (Steve jobs Esque). states the potential for his new tech, critics covering the event state that it could potentially be used as a crutch for society instead of a tool people ignored the warning label on the inside of the pod to leave, spending the rest of their lives in there, creating a virtual only society. pods are centralized in pod farms, and monitored by podbots, ai built to fix the machines before problems shutting them down even arise and build new pods according to the creators blueprint for new humans. new generations are born in the pods in a test tube baby esque way, and after a couple generations, most knowledge on how to function as a human outside of pods is forgotten. as this occurs, the earth grows back to wild, recovering from the damage highly urbanized human society had caused. one day, the podbots all finally break down and lose power in one podfarm. one teen is pulled out of the vr into reality. struggles to escape broken pod (which has warning label on inside of glass like every pod, but not removed by human unintelligence). finally gets out, waits for a podbot to come fix their pod. one doesnt come. they adventures out, and finds a few broken podbots before realizing that there is nothing to fix their pod. adventures away from the podfarm into neely wild ny. starts to feel hungry and thirsty but doesnt know what those sensations are bc never had to worry about that in the pod. goes into an overgrown thrift shop and finds an old 80s tape recorder. figures out what it is from stories thier grandpa told them. starts to use it to document their adventure around wild ny. adventures into what turns out to be a wild subway station, gets scared by noise of what is probably wild animals, and runs into abandoned subway car. finds timepad mini on the ground with a broken display. thinks that can go back in time and find a podbot or the creator to fix their pod so they can return to their friends and family. boots it up and tests it by dropping tape recorder through it, tape recorder goes through space-time hole successfully, lands in dark rectangle. they try to dive into the hole in order to fit themselves through the small surface of the timepad mini, but fails, decapitating themselves. their bloody body lies on the floor of the abandoned subway car next to the damaged time pad. cut to present day. inside idm building. two friends in halloween costumes walk up to lockers, discussing how excited they are for the halloween party. one says to the other about how excited they are that theyre finally off the waiting list for a locker after accidentally registering to get one late, then asks why the other one was dressed as a bumble bee. bumble bee talks to three hole punch jim about how the bees are going extinct and they wanted to raise awareness for the future of the bees bt dressing up as one for halloween. while doing this, jim opens locker. finds disembodied head and tape recorder with small portal open on top. bumblebee cuts off halfway thru and screams, jim is in complete awe of what is going on, only muttering 'holy shit dude'.

end

---

Feedback Session 1:

This is the main piece of feedback I received.

After thinking about it, I agree with this. That part, while good for the actual story type thing, would be kind of irrelevant to the assignment.

---

Feedback Session 2:

Feedback on the portal part to make it less brutal. I didn’t really want the blood thing. Wasn’t feeling it.

I really like the first alternative ending that was suggested. My friend was right, it really ties into the ‘man vs nature’ theme.

I was originally going to make the protagonist a teenager or young adult, with no real reasoning behind it besides the dream being that way, and that that’s always what happens in movies. I think he’s right though. I’m changing the protagonist to an old man as a result. There’s not a lot of movies about old dudes trying to save the world, so I might as well do that. He’s right, having a ‘total noob’ isn’t really important to the story.

These comments made me change the story a bit. I really liked the ideas he suggested. Also, it allows me to embed the Time Crystal Renaissance/TimePad technology further in the story, making that the technology that allows the pods to function in that way. Really helped me unite everything together.

In a small-group session in class, it was suggested to me that instead of having the protagonist be the only person with a broken PØD, he should be the only one who got out and survived their PØD breaking, with all of the others in the PØD Lot dying while trapped inside of their PØDs. I decided that that was a way better idea than the one I had, and liked how it left him in the world essentially on his own.
