I guess there's already a buyer lined up for this house. The house I'm sitting in with a stupid cramp in my belly and insufficient amounts of coffee. It's looking like instead of sitting at home while they bang around doing the inspection. She (the lead on the inspection) said they'll look at the sewer, so I don't have to tell them about the backed ( Read more... )

That should be a cool place to live. You can go to the pirate festival! Oh wait, you are going to be gone for that. Dang! I bet you are sorry. Anyway. I'm glad you found a new place, but sorry your current landlords are dumblords.

Even I love Max, and she makes me sick. How can you not love that pretty kitty?

What's a mile on a bike, really? For me, probably a lot. For you? Not so much.

You need one of those "portable toilet" things they sell at camping places where really it is just an absorbant cloth. Then you wouldn't have to go to the kitchen. I hate being in my house when those type of people are around. It is always weird.

Did you get a house?
I know an Asian guy who lives in Ballard.
I super love Ballard. The best dive bars, rockabillies, Ballard Locks (!!!), that cute furniture store on Market street...(is that still there?). I'll come visit ya.

Yay for finding a new place! (Boo! to your current laundry-phobic landlords.) That's a great location - Ballard Market (almost as good as PCC), Cupcake Royale, and um, other exciting Ballard things. (God, am I all about food? Yes, apparently so.)

do you know if ballard market is locally owned? that would make me SUPER happy. i fucking hate all fucking QFCs; have i told you that before?

we are actually quite near many fast food places, probably because we are near the high school. the quiznos closed apparently because of the potential monorail. i also hate chain sub sandwich shops.

please note that i'm in a pretty darn good news as i pipe up about hatred.

Yep, Ballard market is owned by the Central Market folks, who live on Bainbridge and have lunch with my co-worker Kathy's in-laws all the time. So yes, local AND independent. (And really good produce).

Nothing wrong with a little well-placed hate. Esp. when discussing things like QFC and Quiznos - then it's beneficial for the soul.

Wait, is the Central Market the big fancy one I've never been to up on Aurora? FIELD TRIP!

Yay for Ballard! You won't live too far from us!

ballard is kind of huge. but then, so is wallingford. they all seem the same after a while.

You're in the "core" of Ballard as far as I'm concerned. And unlike us, you're a lot closer to Ballard Market, so walking with groceries is possible.

You are near fast food, but Taco del Mar is right nearby and that's the most healthy fast food around here.

Welcome to the neighborhood!

thanks for the welcome! yes, i am very excited about being walking distance from a locally-owned grocery store.

here is what i'm really excited about, in terms of not-healthy-nearness: the tin hat. i like the tin hat. they have onion rings. it's good to be near onion rings.

Sorry about the stress, but I'm glad you found a place to live, whitewashed as it may be ...

thank you, thank you. well, it's been an historically nordic area since they freed the land from the native americans. what can you expect? we will take it over. they have a lovely new library branch that i'm excited about.
