Laptops light themselves up. They're good for writing in the dark.

Ed's house is empty, except for Kris. Kris has to live in that house until he finds his new living situation, or until may. Whichever comes first. It would be like living in a warehouse, in his place. Wake up, look around, see bare walls and your belongings in a heap. Walk to the bathroom and kitchen, and back to your bed because there's nowhere else to sit. Eat your food and hang out somewhere else. You can't watch TV or sit around on the couch. Just 6 empty rooms, a telephone, and you. Reminds me of when I lived in Portland and Ed moved out (got fired). He's got to get out of there. I want to expedite that. Wish I was some kind of housing-arrangement baron so I could bring some sort of leverage to bear. Oh well. I guess I can drive him around looking at places.
