I&#8217;m trying to sell my comic book collection to raise more &#8220;LA&#8221; money. I spent five dollars on a Wizard magazine\/price guide, only to find out that most of my collection isn&#8217;t listed in the &#8220;guide.&#8221; I can see now why the magazine is sealed before you buy it&#8230; I could have bought a couple of whopper meals&#8230;but now I have 150 pages of &#8220;who is your favorite x-men character?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Los Angeles is still coming along slowly. Now I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;m gonna live with Aaron and Chi or not, Aaron can&#8217;t seem to make up his mind whether he wants to save money or live somewhere expensive. I&#8217;m hoping we can all live together in a house for around $500 a month, we&#8217;ll see. Either way I&#8217;ll still live with Brian. Housing is expensive, but not out of control. I know someone in columbus that is paying almost $500 a month for a small apartment, cheaper than that can be had out there if you look hard enough. There are very nice houses in the desert for cheap&#8230;but it would be an hour commute to work every day, which doesn&#8217;t sound too exciting. I applied for that &#8220;blue cash&#8221; credit card to ease the transition from my ohio bank to california bank. I was denied though. My credit was good enough for mazda&#8230;.(and apparently visa, mastercard, etc. that I get &#8220;pre-approval&#8221; from every week in the mail)&#8230;.but not AmEx&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trip to parent&#8217;s house, wizards, plans for Los Angeles, credit<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":99,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.andrewlorenzlong.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.andrewlorenzlong.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.andrewlorenzlong.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.andrewlorenzlong.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/99"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.andrewlorenzlong.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.andrewlorenzlong.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.andrewlorenzlong.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.andrewlorenzlong.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.andrewlorenzlong.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
