(no subject)
i'm getting pretty jazzed about house shopping. basically, why the heck not? and i found a really cool condo yesterday, which is nice cause otherwise i was figuring south philly was the only feasible option even though i'm not so keen on having a whole row house.
anyway, everything i read says ask your friends for recs so...anyone? i'm trying to think about green/sustainable/progressive/what have you businesses in more of my purchases and decisions, but i have no idea how to find them. checked sbn, no luck. didn't think of good search terms. eh. i was even looking for real estate agents on yelp. ha. when i googled homebuyer philadelphia the 2nd hit was to be on an HGTV about first time homebuyers. i looked at the application and it said if you're single you have to have a friend who will be with you for all the major homebuying events and who would that person be? i have no idea! gah. it just reminded me of my one attempt at taking an exercise class in college. ongoing assignment was to go to the gym with a friend since clearly everyone in college has friends from school! yeah, dropped that class. i hate being reminded of the nearly universal lack of recognition of the difficulty of making and maintaining close friendships. sure, singles and couples can participate in the show, but only singles with good friends who have lots of free time and want to be on tv.
time to clean for my friend from erie who (maybe, actually!) is visiting starting tomorrow. also going to the barnes tomorrow. hopefully that will be more successful than my foray into pinch potting.
