The guard attempted to make them delete all of the photographs they had taken, despite the absence of any policy forbidding it. Are cameras like catnip for abusive, power-mad rent-a-cops now?" Basic story: Caitlin and her friend have been visiting the grave for a decade or so, paying respects quietly, as do many people. It's one of the most photographed stones in the world. The graveyard's policies, listed on its website, do not prohibit photos. The security was incredibly abusive and jerky. Just another skirmish in the war against photography, as the brave security guards of the world prevent the theft of photons from our poor, helpless inanimate objects. As Spooky was getting into the car, I finally looked him in the eye and said the only thing I said during the entire encounter (which elapsed over the space of maybe three or four minutes, start to finish, at the most). I pointed a finger at the man and, very quietly, I said, "You will be reported." He screamed, "You do that, you piece of shit!." This is the only time I got a clear look at the man. He was white, late middle-aged, seemed to have about three-days worth of beard (salt and pepper), and spoke with a heavy regional accent (don't ask which one). I am fairly certain that he had been drinking, and he may have been intoxicated. He certainly acted like a belligerent drunkard. "...stains on the carpet and stains on the scenery..." (Thanks, Matt!)

Rent: $800 including utilities (and monthy house cleaner) Deposit:$800 Available: Now but very negotiable to the right person. If you are still interested please read more. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hi there house hunters. We are offering a large room in our downtown Walnut Ave. Victorian. I'm going to try to be very specific to avoid long drawn out interviews with people that are not appropriate or we're not appropriate for. Please don't take this as nitpicky. We're just trying to make it easier on everyone. The House: Large Victorian under all the trees on Walnut. This really is the best street in town. The room is about 13x13 with a large window and a huge closet. It is in the back of the house on the second floor. Everything is brand new. Really, brand spanking new. New paint, new carpet, new walls. The closet is even new. The room comes with a spooky story. The room had a very small closet but when we were renovating we found a 6'x'6 walled in room. I like to tell people that we found bones in there and all the inside walls were shredded with scratch marks but that's not true. No one else sleeps on the second floor. There's a brand new bathroom that is almost private in the sense that it's not anyone elses primary bathroom. We just finished the renovation on that bathroom and everyone says is like pooping in a magazine. Not like pooping into a magazine but like a Towne and Country or Old Home Journal photo pictorial. There are two other bedrooms upstairs. One is a shared room with the (possibly you) upstairs roommate, it will have a couch and a tv and will be used as my boyfriend's office. But say if you brought home a romantic interest and wanted to watch a movie you could do that up there. Or if you like to watch Anime movies you could do that and not hear me talk about how they drive me nuts. Why don't they ever draw lips on those people?! You'll have your own apartment sized fridge in the kitchen and plenty of shelf space. The rent covers water, garbage, PG&E, wireless internet, washer dryer, gardner and a house cleaner coming once a month to clean common areas. About Us: We're a couple in our 30's. We bought the house last year and have spent the past year fixing it up. We are both busy people but value our home and like to have a quiet comfortable space to live in. We don't usually play loud music but we tend to have have some back ground music playing (I'll get into genres later). WE have subdued bbq parties every few months. I cook dinner most nights of the week and read books while listening to hillbilly music. We have two cats. We love our cats. They are indoor cats. One is very fat and a little snarky but will leave you alone. The other is very sweet but doesn't really pester you for affection or drool like some cats do. There's on street parking but you'll have to buy a permit. I'm a counselor that works with teenage drug addicts, he owns a tattoo shop. He works on the house a lot and listens to screeching thrash or doom metal. I do the laundry on Saturdays and will be a student. I listen to awful high energy spanish speaking music as I'm obsessed with Zumba. I wear ugly work out clothes and am often sweaty. Who we'd like to rent to: Ideally we want someone who is independant, busy, socialable and kind. I do a lot of cooking. So, I'd like someone who isn't going to be in the kitchen a ton. We want someone who has their own life and isn't looking for best friends in housemates but is still easy to interact with. Someone who values a clean house but who is not anal. We both are heavy sleepers. So, coming home late is fine as long as you don't bring the party with you. We only want to rent to one person. We cannot have more pets. Our fat cat will kill them and we have new carpet and don't want more blood stains. Someone who drinks periodically is fine but absolutely no drugs in the house. I don't care if you smoke marijuana recreationally with your friends but never at home. Plus, I would rather talk to someone smacked out or on speed than to some uberstoner. They are just annoying. We would like someone who can pay their rent on time with no discussion. This house would be perfect for a UCSC student (maybe a grad student) as there is a bus stop two yards from the front door that goes directly to UCSC. The house is pretty well furnished so if you have a bunch of stuff that wouldn't be good. There isn't much storage other than your large closet. We'd prefer someone who likes babies. Not necessarily because we have any but because anyone who says they actively hate babies is kind of a douche bag and is probably part of that vampire club that meets downtown once a month and pretends to kill people. I don't want to live with any of those. Also, I don't like to hear about burning man. I know it's an art thing and used to be awesome but everyone I know who's gotten into that has turned weird and somehow unhygenic looking and tends to get mushy boundaries about sexual conduct in public. Someone with good communication skills. I don't want to have to guess if you're upset about something or deal with conflict resolution at home. We're both adults who genuinely like people and want to be accomodating. If you ask for something we'll probably make changes for it. I'm a counselor for my day job and my boyfriend is very mild mannered and has to talk about his emotions enough with me we don't need to subject him to more. Please include some info about yourself in your response. I will call back the people I think would work. All others I will send an email to. I wish you well in your search. Thanks. There will be photos up later. Move in date is negotiable. Oh, Oops. I must add one more very important thing. If you have a fear of clowns or even a slight aversion this house wouldn't be good for you. My brother is a professional clown who comes to visit about twice a year and stays around 10 days. He stays in the guest bedroom next door to your room and will come and go as a clown. He is very nice and funny but he often makes loud honking noises with his mouth and gets upset if people say mean things about clowns or talk about the movie "It". He feels that that movie is "racist against clowns". A bonus of moving in though is that he can make anything you ask for out of balloons. Really, he's never been stumped. He's been a clown since he was 6 and I've never seen him not be able to make something out of balloons. Start thinking about what kind of balloon sculpture you want...
