Yeah, all Nightmare Stage videos should be considered NWS for one reason or another (I forgot to mention this because it's one of those things you take for granted)
The clip opens with a Gypsy singing a Nazi song. The show got banned in 2006 for, out of all things, airing homegroan. Malnar and his crew simply jumped ship after this and reappeared a week later on a different TV network. :D

The apartment would basically be free--it's not like anyone else pays him. And each 2L of beer is like a dollar iirc.

You are not wrong. Bulgarians were originally a Turkic tribe from Russian steppes (Bolgars) who assimilated into Slavic ethnicity when they migrated to Eastern Balkans, Romanians are Latinized Dacians with language similar to Italian, Spanish and French. And Jug is South so Jugoslavija (Yugoslavia) means South Slavia.

Hey, this looks like a party, doesn't it? :)



Actually, none of these bottles were purchased by me - they were all recovered from dumpsters and wastebins on the bus station. The large beer bottle was not completely empty when I picked it up, you can guess where the leftover beer went :getin:

Through hobo magic, I traded the bottles for a baguette and I even managed to land myself half a pack of cigs. I normally wouldn't have bought myself a baguette, but I was a few pennies short of a real loaf of bread so I guess I'll have to make do with this. :D



Where did the cigs come from?
You'll never guess whom I ran into on the bus station - it was Dad the dad from the penultimate saga. He too picked up his life after his wife dumped him, truth to be told he's living in the boonies now and hardly gets to see his kids but at least he has a steady job. I bummed cigs off of him and he then invited me over to his restaurant (since it was obvious I was carrying a bag of empty cans and bottles for recycling money). He said that I can come over for a tasty meal whenever I feel like it which is bloody awesome - can't remember when was the last time I ate real meat.

World is a small place, and living near the bus terminal is awesome - you get to meet people, bum cigs and collect bottles&cans. Is this the highlife I always dreamed of? :D

Our towers in fact have a warning sign on the side of the building; "beware of free-falling objects." Not because there are bits and pieces of masonry falling down (as is common in older parts of Zagreb) but because urban hicks tend to hurl food and trash out the windows. I'm littering only when I'm drunk, but I've seen plastic bottles, loaves of stale bread and meatballs getting airborne. All of this stuff lands on the lawn where it's consumed by birds and cats, and the remainder is picked up by city sanitation workers who are doing a spectacularly good job when you consider the sheer amount of stuff thrown overboard. :D

I think he bought the studio he currently lives in for that money + lots and lots of drugs. Also cooking chairs aren't cheap. And drugs. Lots of them.

Bloody hell. Looks like I'll have to spend yet another month eating cardboard poo poo. The kid got his salary but the bank foreclosed on all of it since he had some unpaid cellphone bills which date to god knows when - he'll be able to pay me NEXT month - and what's even worse, he's broke as gently caress right now and his dad who lives in Serbia died the other day so he had no option but to hitch a ride from Zagreb to Novi Sad in order to attend the funeral as he couldn't afford to pay a regular bus fare.

I know goons are going to jump on my rear end for letting him freeload for another month, but look at this mess in this way: if I kicked him out now, he would have lost his job, an apartment AND he wouldn't be able to attend his dad's funeral - I would have basically ruined his life - but I'm not that much of a Hitl0rz.

The kid has a solid track record and I'm willing to cut him some slack.

The good thing is that I'm getting 200€ in the following days, probably tomorrow, from the other kid. That will keep me going until the next month.

This is not the point of this post though. Looks like it'll be me who'll have to deal with Uncle Bruno's poo poo. I'll have to leave Zagreb for a few weeks until the Shithouse is cleared out and ready for sale - what's the problem at this point is that I want to get me a job because I'm tired of being bored and poor. If I got me a job I wouldn't be able to tend to the house. My grandmotherly grandma couldn't come up with a definitive answer to my question so I'm turning to you goons: should I wait for a few months more with this job thing just so I'd be able to toss Bruno's poo poo out and sell the house? Half the property is already mine and I could make a tidy profit on it. At this point I'm not counting on my relatives from Germany to manage the sheer mess Bruno left behind himself.

I bought studio #3 apartment with that money, the kid lives in that apartment at the moment. Everything was fine up until two months ago. I reckon that most of my american slang comes from watching subtitled BBC shows, it's hard to put a finger on it but yeah, slang comes from television.

I do want to change my life. I stopped buying illegal drugs, the only thing I'm still doing is getting wrecked on perscription meds once every blue moon - and it's usually Biperiden which I'm getting for free anyways (yay universal healthcare!)

As for the "do you want to be alive" question, I'm kinda torn between "no" and "not in this way." That's why I want to find a job - doesn't matter how crappy it is - I've already stopped drinking and smoking yet Uncle Bruno's poo poo keeps bogging me down.

I'm sorry to hear that. I feel much the same about my own life. You get a lot of grief in this thread, but I enjoy your stories, and I hope you get whatever help you need to straighten out your situation. I know what it's like to exist in that state of not wanting to go on, but feeling unable to call it quits, and unable to change your situation. I'm not sure if I'm better off or worse off for not being a recreational drug user, but I figure now is probably not the time to pick up any new and expensive habits.

What's the Status on the Bruno situation? Last I read, you'd discovered some savings and some stocks that you were going to liquidate to help cover his debts, and the building he left behind was worthless. Is there any way for you to benefit from Uncle Bruno's estate at this point?

You seem to take it very well when people dump on you in your threads, but I doubt it's much fun when that happens. For the record, we're not all watching and hoping for a continuing train wreck.

Nothing is happening ATM. We are waiting for the tourist season to wane before we tear the place apart. Precisely half estate is mine and my intention is to sell it and since the law is on my side, push the remaining co-owners out of the house. I can make a tidy profit on it, maybe I'll get myself enough money to buy yet another studio in Zagreb.

Funny thing about the kid who is late with the rent - he returned from Serbia after attending his dad's funeral, and when I told him he can stay another month till he pulls his finances together, he was overjoyed to the point where he called me kinder than his own mom, and if we weren't texting, he'd probably kiss the ground I walked upon. Anyways, the kid is definitely a keeper, been thinking that way for a really long time now.

Would that be your plan? Extend your holdings and take on another tenant? You don't seem to have the best luck with that, but I don't know what other options you have. Is the kid a keeper because you like him, or is it that a tenant who pays his rent at least some of the time is really hard to find on the Zagreb rental market?

I saw this as a personal challenge. I wrote animu subtitles for a certain lovely anime show, armed with nothing but a dictionary and lots upon lots of time. Also, I like Japanese music, and the gotcha about this is that's easy to memorize the lyrics - it's much easier to memorize new words if you've got a melody attached to them, a sort of mnemonics if you'd like.
I don't like modern J-pop crap. My favorites are old-school folk songs (enka), pre-1970s.

These never really caught on in Croatia. You can buy croatian-translated manga at ludicrously high prices but I don't know anyone who can afford it. As far as anime is concerned, we occasionally get some old shows aimed at small children. Not that it concerns me, really, I've already given up on television in general. I'm getting my anime fix from the internet, subbed in good ol' English.

Lots of unpaid rent and utilities that accumulated before I evicted him and sold the apartment. For $100 I can eat about two weeks (as I said, it's not a lot of money but every penny counts.)
