Would you like some money for doing nothing? No? Well fuck you then.

Minna and I haven't been too hot on buying a house. We're saving a big wad, and waiting for the right thing to come along. We're not going to stress about it, we're not going to angst over it. Our apartment is nice, cheap, and enough for anything we need ( Read more... )

It was a nice place, but if there's one thing I've learned on this relaxed home-buying adventure we've undertaken, it's to never fall in love with anything. Bring brain, leave heart at home. Ninety percent of the time, even if all the stars are in alignment, you're going to get screwed by something (or someone). My sister's condo purchasing ordeal, and later that house deal of hers that fell through due to local government people who couldn't fucking put a piece of paper in the mail on time, are testament to this.

I do definitely want a cat door into our someday basement, though. And, I hope the buyer of that place enjoys that billiards cue-stick we found in the basement- the one with the sexy lady on it... ;)

I think that was a late model Pamela Anderson, so "sexy" is a questionable claim.

Well, obviously, someone liked it. Unless they plaster their cue-sticks with pictures of girls they find repulsive, the better to keep their minds on the game...

Some people need to learn to be civil. Sheesh. I'm sorry that didn't work out, but you'll probably end up with a fabulous place sooner or later because you're going about this with cool heads.

Damn. That woman needs her head examined.

Speaking of- have you read Feakonomics? Because it's right up your alley. And Levitt is a man after your own heart.

I pick up bits and pieces of it from time to time. Nifty book.

Many libraries have copies of Freakonomics in print and audio (CD). It is one of my favorites.

I come across that attitude a lot with "pretty" women (pretty in that generic way which I don't get) and salesmen with the lowest prices in town. I guess that's what we get for being part of such a cheap, shallow society. Eh, whatever. I know you'll find something awesome with an awesome location and a side of awesome sauce!
