Well hello, Mr. Inspector

January 12th, 2007

Here’s $250. Take it. Wander around for a half hour with a flashlight and tell me “looks good”. Shit, I could do that. I have done that, just not for $250.

Seriously tho, sweet. One step closer to moving in. At the inspection tomorrow, we’ll get the condo docs. We’ll also get the waiver that says the adjoining owner won’t purchase the unit we’re purchasing out from under us. It’s written into the docs that the adjoining owner has first right of refusal, but our future neighbor doesn’t want anything to do with it. Sweet.

Ever hear of the norovirus? It’s the one that’s been going around cruise ships. Apparently, there’s a strain going around the county I live in, and I just happened to draw the lucky straw. It sucks. The most solid food I’ve been able to keep down since Tuesday breakfast is a muffin and some mac & cheese. On an unrelated note, applesauce is yummy.

Why does this post have a hippies tag? Duh, I prolly caught the norovirus-ish from a damned dirty hippie.

Redneck calendar & condo offer

January 8th, 2007

Turns out the redneck calendar only gives you one page for the weekend. Dinger.

And in other news, our offer for the condo was countered for a couple grand more, but we get to keep his pool table and accouterments. We’re cool with the price, but there were a couple more small things that needed correction, so we countered their counter. We’ll hear back today if it goes through.

And in yet more other news, MacWorld Expo 2007 kicks off today with a Steve Jobs keynote at 11 AM! w00t

edit: I’m a moron…Jobs’ keynote is Tuesday at 11 am. Not Monday. *sigh*

You’ve picked up a +1 New Year of Problems

January 5th, 2007

Site update portion:

I’ve added a You Might Be A Redneck widget on the right. It comes from my daily official calendar. I’ve only got 5 of them in there now, so you might be seeing repeats often. Deal. Ignore it for a month, and there will be 30+ in there. No more repeats. Next item: the “Money Maker” widget at the bottom of the right column is supposed to be hosting google adsense ads, but it appears to not be working. I’m kinda strapped for time right now, so I don’t have time to deal with it.

Random interjection:
Go hit XKCD. The comics are hil-freaking-arious. * mostly for people of the engineering persuasion.House portion: (yet another new category)

Just put an offer down on a condo. Woo! It’s one of two side-by-side units in the building, and there are only 3 buildings in the community for a total of 6 units. Two car garage, 1.5 story (just a single room upstairs), full private basement, 3 bed/2 bath, and all appliances included. Hot damn! Dude has till Saturday to decide what to do with the offer…hopefully accept. Now to figure out how to break the news to my apartment manager…
