You never know what’s going on in a home. Here we have a plain dark gray home, built in 1978 in Omaha, Nebraska. It has 4bd. 4ba. & is listed for $925K. I don’t even know what to call this style.

For having been built in 1978, it’s in excellent condition. 

Look at this. Is it industrial? Mid-century? Space age? 

Nice glass block wall.

Here we are making out way to the dining room. There are levels, though, so watch your step. To left is a living room with interior glass windows. It looks like a mall store, doesn’t it?

You would to buy barrels of glass cleaner for this house.

Wood ceilings. I’ve never seen a kitchen like this. 

Here’s a huge island with seating and an Aztec sun mozaic. 

Back to the glass store living room. 

This is interesting. Interesting ceiling.

Now, this is different. You can see the indoor pool through a glass wall. Above is a mezzanine with storage shelves behind glass. 

There is also a bar/kitchenette for the pool.

3 steps down from the kitchenette is a family room. 

Tile bath, one of 4.

The indoor pool. I would have to decorate this room, it’s so plain.

Small tile bath for the pool.

Stairs to the bedrooms.

The main bd. has a decoration of columns and huge moldings, which is kind of dramatic. Is the furniture built in? 

Here’s a roof deck for the main bd.

Main bd. en-suite. There are so many little steps and levels in this home.

Looks like a family room in a garage or basement.

Outdoors there’s a patio with a firepit.

Plus a small hot tub that looks like a big can.

Large tile garage.

[kabillieu]

So, I want to be clear that actually our house here in Omaha is extremely cute. It's a dutch colonial over a hundred years old. It has a wall of built-ins in the living room, two sets of glass-paned French doors leading into the living room and dining room, decorative arches in the mudroom and master bedroom, high ceilings, and antique light fixtures in several rooms. It's got a cute little brick fireplace and a light and airy sunroom. It has hardwood floors everywhere except the kitchen. It's located in a historic neighborhood within walking distance to cafes, restaurants, bars, and an independent movie theater. The university med center, which is the biggest research hospital in Nebraska, is a mile and a half away. The University of Nebraska Omaha is a mile and a half away in the other direction.

This house is the stuff of my dreams. It's a charming historic home in a walkable part of midtown. We will never, ever get to live like this again. The part of Montgomery we're looking at moving to is blandly suburban, but our number one priority is moving into a school district that can support the needs of our soon-to-be middle schooler who is autistic with ADHD.

The only update we've done to this house over the years, besides appliances and functional updates (like replacing the furnace, water heater, roof, repainting the outside, etc.) is to add in a second bathroom in the basement. Part of the reason we were able to afford this house back in 2005 is because it had only one tiny bathroom located upstairs.

I love this house, but we've never been able to do right by it. It needs an updated kitchen and paint everywhere. It needs nicer bathroom fixtures and less corny, outdated tile. We just couldn't do any of that stuff because we have only ever lived in this house in short 2-3 year bursts. Every time we moved back, our various tenants had left our house worse for the wear. This last time we've been stationed in Omaha five years, which is the longest we've ever been stationed anywhere. In that time, Dominic replaced all the basement windows, fixed our kitchen cabinets, did some electrical rewiring in the kitchen, and contracted a second bathroom and an egress window so that we can list the "finished" part of the basement as a fourth bedroom. That's actually a lot of work when you think about what the rest of the last five years has held for us.

But having realtors and handymen pass through our house the past couple of days and point out all its many flaws has been difficult. I get it! This is a fixer-upper. We always knew it was. It was frankly a fixer-upper when we bought it in 2005.

I will not be sorry to say goodbye to living in the Midwest. It's been hard to be so isolated from family and friends. But I will probably never get to live "in the city" again, and that almost feels like a core part of my adult identity, which is silly but true. We will almost certainly sell this house for much, much more than we bought it, even if we aren't able to do all the repairs that we're discussing with the realtor. It's fine. It will be fine. But I love this imperfect house, and it's hard to finally be at the point where we have to give it up for good.

Breaking down the comics: A good boy (issue 30)

Moon Knight, Issue #30: The Moonwraith, Three Sixes, and a Beast

(We've hit 1983 people!) 

PREVIOUSLY ON MOON KNIGHT! 

We get a title page that states: 

"WHAT HAS HAPPENED: 

   In the Omaha trainyards, Jack Russell - Cursed to become a werewolf under the influence of a full moon--Narrowly escapes capture by a satanic cult led by a man named Schuyler Belial. Belial-Who calls himself "Morning Star" --Orders his agents to follow Russell, last seen boarding an express train to New York. 

   A month passess. Moon Knight receives an urgent plea from Russell to meet him. Arriving at the rendezvous, a farmhouse in New Jersey, our hero learns that Russell has become the Werewolf again. He has also been found by Belial's cultists, who wound Moon Knight even as the Werewolf escapes them once more. 

    The following Morning, Moon Knight tracks Russell down and takes him home to Grant Mansion. He suspects that Belial has had a tracking device surgically implanted in Russel's skull, and examination by a doctor confirms his suspicions. It is too late to remove the device, however, because the Full Moon is about to rise again. 

    To control him during the night, Moon Knight straps Russell down. The Werewolf is stronger than expected, though, and breaks his bonds, then turns to face Marlene and Moon Knight with murder in his bestial eyes..." 

Welp, Moon Knight has a werewolf in his guest room. 

He tells Marlene to get the others to the basement while he figures out what to do about his friend. 

He tries to reason with the beast. 

He gets tossed out the window for his trouble. 

And now the beast is free. 

And in true Moon Knight fashion, he ends up on the ground in a crumpled heap. 

He’s doing great. 

The wolf dislikes the city in the rain. Seeking higher ground, he sits on a rooftop howling. 

Moon Knight finds him and sneaks up on him and sucker punches him in the face. 

The beast does not like this. 

Once more...

They hit the ground hard. 

"The water was hardly deep enough to cushion our fall, so we laid there until dawn." 

With dawn, Jack Russell is back. 

Passed out in the gutter next to Moon Knight, Belial's men find them. 

The men take them both just to be safe. 

It seems they finally have 'the beast of the apocalypse'. So all the followers of the good church of satan arrive out of LA. 

And Schuyler, Self proclaimed Morning Star, greets them all with a shackled Jack Russell and Moon Knight. 

It would seem Moon Knight is well known in these circles. (See Werewolf by Night for original context when we first met our beloved Moon Knight). 

While they are eager to see their foe destroyed, Schuyler has failed them enough times and all they see is "A kid and some geek dressed in a Moon Knight outfit--the kind you rent for halloween." 

Furthermore, Morning Star has decided that in order to further his power and beliefs, he needs to sacrifice the beast, convinced that the blood of the monster will transform him into a powerful supernatural being. He then intends to infect others until the apocalypse is unleashed. 

The congregation seems to think it might work so they head to the roof for preparations of the final day of the full moon. 

But first we have one of my ultimate favorite superhero gags. 

They want to know who hides behind the mask of Moon Knight. 

No one fucking knows who he is. 

If you REALLY think about it, Why would anyone outside of their direct circle of in people know who this guy is? Sure, Steven’s a millionaire, but he isn’t exactly Bruce Wayne about it. He’s just some rich guy that sometimes throws parties or attends business meetings. Jake Lockley is a cab driver in New York City. And Marc Spector doesn’t even really have an existence in present day America. And if you happen to know who Marc Spector is, the odds are that you probably don’t care about a secret Moon Knight identity and just want the man dead for the simple fact that he is Marc Spector. 

They move to return Moon Knight and Jack back to their cages. 

And unfortunately for them, Moon Knight wakes up before he gets there. 

He grabs Jack and makes a break for it. He calls for Frenchie and heads outside. 

(Moon Knight no.... Not in the chopper.) 

Up on the roof, the others are still getting their tour of the sacrificial altar when they're informed of the escape. 

He tells them to use the tracker implanted in Jack's head. They have to get to him before the moon rises. 

And then they look up and see the very unique and moon specific helicopter. 

Luckily they avoid getting blown out of the sky and head back to the mansion. 

Calling in the doctor, they manage to get the chip out. 

It's noon now and time is of the essence. 

In the meantime, Steven takes the chip and hides it in the mansion's game room. 

He changes to Moon Knight and waits. 

(Moon Knight no...not in the mansion)

And right on cue, we see the cultists heading back to the mansion. 

Jack is now recovering from his surgery and his rough night. Marlene helps him to...

"Help Marlene get him into Lockley's cab in the garage, but tell her to stay there. Not to move until she hears from me over the cab's radio through my cowl-mike." 

(Moon Knight no...not in the cab!) 

The trap is set and the cultists bust into the mansion. 

They wander into the game room only to find it empty with the homing device. Moon Knight springs his trap. 

Whalloping them on the head with a pool cue, he tells Marlene to beat it! 

(Moon Knight no…not in the diner.) 

Really Marlene? Did you need to bust through the garage door? Of course no one’s outside! These guys are idiots and only sent two dudes to pick up the werewolf! 

For the record, I fucking love Gena. 

"I still say he looks like an ordinary white boy to me." She closes her diner as they sneak Jack in. 

Next part of the plan? Marlene is going to hypnotize Jack. 

She asks Gena for her necklace with pendant. 

"Girl, this is a genuine pearl--not cultured, neither--so you just be real careful with it, hear?" (I love Gena) 

She tells him to see the pendant and think of the moon. 

He starts to change, fur growing in despite it only being 3. 

She stops the change. 

"This is just the moon in your imagination. Now, what does the full moon do to you?" 

"It...Changes me...Turns me into werewolf..." 

"That's right...It gives the werewolf life...and who is the werewolf?" 

"Me...I'm the werewolf..." 

"Then the Moon gives YOU life, doesn't it?" 

(And who's a good boy? That’s right! You are!) 

She directs his attention to Moon Knight, "the emissary of the moon. The spirit of the moon...The keeper of the moon's powers..." 

In essence, she's trying to get the werewolf to stop trying to kill Moon Knight. 

"Moon Knight is your friend." 

She returns the pearl to Gena, who is patiently waiting. Gena calls it Hoodoo as she checks her pearl over. 

Back at the cult, Morning Star gets a statick filld phone call saying that they got the beast despite Moon Knight's trouble. 

Who knew Frenchie could do a convincing American accent? 

Back at the diner, Jack enjoys a meal from Gena. 

"So, Moon Knight, you still making good bounties?" 

"I don't work for money anymore, Russell. Got enough to last me." 

"Just fighting crime out of the goodness of your heart?" 

"Something like that. How about you? Any closer to a cure?" 

"Nope...But at least the werewolf hasn't killed anyone innocent yet--and thank god he seems to prefer game flesh to....human." 

It's time for part two of the trap. 

Moon Knight dons a cultist robe and Jack plays dead. They head into the building and take Jack to the roof. 

Jack lays on the alter as the moon starts to rise and he starts to change. 

Just as Morning Star prepares to plunge his blade into the changing man, Moon Knight uses one of the stolen weapons to shoot the blade from his hands. 

"That's when Moon Knight blew his cover--at the last possible moment, no less-- by zapping the Silver Dagger out of Belial's hand. It had been some three inches from my heart." 

Moon Knight calls out to tell Russell it's time to act. 

The wolf springs up, unsure if it's acting because of Moon Knight or because of the cultists. 

"But I jumped into their ugly faces with relish nonetheless. After the chill of the stone altar on my back, I wanted to warm up fast--and did." 

The other cultists make the mistake of getting into a weird gun fight with Moon Knight, a man that knows his way around weapons. 

"I don't normally use guns of any kind--But then it's not every day that I have to save the world from the forces of Satan!" 

Only two of them? A werewolf and Moon Knight. Why shouldn’t these average middle aged men who chant all day be able to stop them? 

“Only two of us, all right…But WHAT A PAIR.” 

And then they bump into one another. Will the hypnosis have worked? 

“Nice Russell…Nice boy…” (He’s a good boy! Such a good boy!) 

It’s so nice to see them finally working together. 

And rip through their hated flesh he does. 

Belial makes a run for it and the wolf gives chase. 

It catches him easily. 

"He shrieked and gibbered, gaping at the beast of his own personal apocalypse. The sound only made my blood run hotter... And hotter still... Until I howled...and he screamed...And the hideous sounds became one." 

The wolf throws Morning Star off the roof. 

"Vengeance was mine, sayeth the werewolf...in a growl of supreme satisfaction." 

The other cultists open fire on the wolf and Moon Knight tells him to get out of there before he's hit. 

The Moon copter swoops in and drops the ladder. 

The cops have arrived below and are getting ready to storm the building. 

They just need to get the wolf out of there before more people show up. 

Moon Knight tells him to grab the ladder. 

"Grab it, Russell! Don't just stand there 'till they cut you down! Listen to me Russell...Grab it!!" 

"Finally, the werewolf felt a vague stir of recognition...A soft urging from a sweetly haunting voice deep within me. I clawed at the bottom ladder rung--ANd was swept off the roof, into the Moon-cursed night." 

Moon Knight yells to get Russell out of there as he continues to fight the cultists. 

Moon Knight dives off the roof and uses his cape to glide away. 

Blocks away, in the safe darkness of the city, the wolf drops to the streets and so does Moon Knight. 

"We faced each other for long moments, across the deserted street...I turned and sprinted lithely for the moon." 

Frenchie asks if Marc is going to give chase. 

"He's already gone, Frenchie-His future is in our hands now. And it's probably better this way. For a moment, I thought I might be able to keep him under control. 

...But Marlene's hypnotic spell can't last forever. ...And even though I hate to agree with Belial on ANY score...The werewolf is a beast. At least under the moon. And he simply craves his freedom too much to care about someone who kept hitting him over the head..." 

(LOL) 

"Moon Knight was wrong. Despite all our fights, the werewolf left with certain regret...Even if Moon Knight was also right about one thing... As a beast governed by no rules but my own, I was simply too stubborn about my freedom. 

I had to run through the deep night and see what the next shadow might hide. 

As for the trace of the human within me, it was all made easier by the fact that at least some people cared-And were maybe even praying I'd make it. 

So I howled, and within the howl there was a farewell to Moon Knight..Maybe forever." 

(I love the last page. It’s absolutely gorgeous.) 

And there we have it! Moon Knight and the Werewolf by Night! Together again! 

I love their dynamic! The former mercenary and bounty hunter, now a man out to protect people to make up for his monstrous deeds, and the man out to protect people from the monster he becomes. 

I also love how the story is told from Jack and the werewolf’s narrative. It gives voice to the wolf and lets you see it as a thinking feeling creature. I also love how the werewolf acknowledges Jack still inside him. Two separate but whole beings. 

A familiar struggle for control that Moon Knight readers have come to love. Perhaps this is why Moon Knight and the wolf do understand one another. Why Russell went looking for help from Moon Knight despite their sketchy past. 

After all, who else has dared to tangle with the beast SO-MANY-TIMES? 

If you are able, go read the OG comic that first introduces Moon Knight. The number of times they fight is comical. What Moon Knight went through just to capture him… At least you can’t call Moon Knight a quitter. 

And with that absolutely splendid final page, Bill Sienkiewicz bids his farewell to Moon Knight. 

At the end of this issue is also a "BULLPEN BULLETIN SPECIAL" which features an interview with Bill Sienkiewicz! 

Interviewer: Care to tell the fans how your name is pronounced?

Bill: Bill.

Interviewer: So it's going to be that kind of interview, eh? Okay, Mr. Sin-Keh'-vitch. 

[....]

Bill: After the story in issue #26, "Hit it", I was ready to move on. I felt that I'd climbed as high as I could with MK, for now. I knew I couldn't sustain it. I could talk for hours about it and the whole national problem of child abuse...And the art, how I was trying to express music, jazz, rhythm visually on paper... I felt it worked.

With this, our buddy Bill departs. Kevin Nowlan will be taking over for the next several issues. 

Thank you Bill for your work in helping to give Moon Knight his face and often shapeless cat like splats on the ground. 

Every special appearance of him in Moon Knight after is always a cherished treasure. 

[elvis1970s]

I was on vacation this winter enjoying a drink in my Elvis tumbler (handmade by my step-mother) when a fellow vacationer struck up a conversation about Elvis. We spoke many times thru the vacation about Elvis. They are a fan of early Elvis - not Vegas Elvis. (I'm a fan of all of the eras - it is all so fascinating to me. I fell into the rabbit hole a few years ago. My mother was a big fan.). They seem to have a limited view of Elvis. I'm sending them audios, videos, images to further their appreciation. We started at the early years. I thought, I know just the right blog to get some of his great 70's performances. So here is my question/request. Please link me 3-5 of your favourite 70s performances to share with my new friend.

Sending you best wishes. Take care.

W

Hello, and very nice to hear from you. I will give this some thought, and get back to you before the end of the weekend. Best wishes, George.

So, here we go (In no particular order):

Promised Land, live in Las Vegas, March 22nd, 1975. There's also a great version of If You Love Me Let Me Know from this show, with the benefit of the full Hilton orchestra including string section.

T-R-O-U-B-L-E from Jacksonville, Florida, April 25th, 1975. By this point there was rarely, if ever, any structured rehearsal, and Elvis never really bothered to learn the words, so they had to wing it with new material on stage.

The New Year's Eve performance 1976-77 in Pittsburgh was widely considered a great show, and was captured in an audience recording. Here Elvis sings Are You Lonesome Tonight directly to Charlie Hodge, who was standing right next to him holding the mic. The full show can be found here, but Rags to Riches about blows the roof off.

Elvis and John Wilkinson with Early Morning Rain, which formed part of the band introductions and solos segment. Elvis was not in great form for this show in Omaha, one of two filmed for the TV special, Elvis in Concert, and there were sound problems with a malfunctioning mic. Things improved over the next few nights.

Elvis worked for another week after the Omaha show, and his final performance was at Market Square Arena, Indianapolis. This final show was captured by an audience recording, and it was seen as one of his better performances of his later career. There was a great (unrehearsed) version of Bridge Over Troubled Water.

From Montgomery, Alabama, Feb 16th, 1977, Elvis revs up his piano player, Tony Brown, for making a little mistake - then goes to the piano himself for an impromptu gospel song, Where No One Stands Alone.

Hope this gives you something to work with, and thanks again for the question

[anotherdayforchaosfay]

Woke up with a headache. Not surprised considering the fuckery of the last several days (see pinned post). Bubby informed me I was whimpering and crying put in my sleep last night. What I remember dreaming about are flashbacks from the October 1997 storm that I experienced when I lived in Nebraska.

If you wanna see why I have flashbacks, look up "Omaha Nebraska October 1997 Storm" and you'll see plenty. First it was rain, which then froze, then almost three feet of snow with thunder, and all the trees still had foliage on them. I can still hear the sounds of trees cracking, limbs crashing into the roof, windows breaking, my sisters screaming. I was 14, mom had a broken tailbone, dad was in Iceland for military stuff, and my sisters were 12 and nine years old.

I've been having flashbacks of that storm since the ice storm arrived a few days ago. The moment I saw it was coming into the area, I sent Bubby to get dry goods because I knew power would get knocked out. Blasted the heat uncomfortably high, filled jugs with water, and hung up blackout curtains over various windows before hanging a curtain in my sewing room doorway. My sewing room has no door, and we disconnected the heat because my iron warms the room up so much that that never kicks in. Bubby said I was overreacting, worrying about nothing, blah blah blah. Then the hawthorn from next door dropped limbs on the roof and looks like it's trying to eat the back of the house. A large tree has just now been removed from the powerlines behind the house. We had no power for several days, and currently do not have water. Last night, we spent time at a friend's place to relax, warm up, and shower. The power returned last night, and hopefully we'll have water by day's end. It's gonna have to be boiled until further notice.

Woke up to ants in the living room because Bubby left a food wrapper out here. I have strict rules regarding food in thr living room. We can eat in there, but no crumbs or wrappers are left behind. Y'all have no idea how much I hate ants. I woke up with a pounding headache, but I disinfected tf outta the living room to remove the chemical trail they leave behind. Used our very little supply distilled water for the steam mop because that chemical trail has to be eliminated. Bait traps are now set up where I saw them entering the room. My husband swept in silence while I verbally ripped into how much I hate ants.

My spoons are in very short supply, and we still need to remove the fucking tree limbs and come up with $1k. I have commissions open three months early specifically for this. Power is back, which means I can begin work immediately...after this headache is gone.
