house!

I never blog on Tribe (I do regularly as keryx on Livejournal, if you're there). So you kids don't know that I BOUGHT A HOUSE last week.

Technically it's only a contract & not fully bought yet, but "I put a contract on a house" [note UNDER CONTRACT sign in blurry phonecamera photo, though!] sounds uptight and like it might've involved the mafia. It's 92, beautifully restored with its original hardwood floors and pocket doors, has three porches and what I'd call a disturbingly large backyard & is in rather a sketchy neighborhood. I love sketchy neighborhoods! I love my house!

Cross your digits that the inspection this week goes well.

Ah, sketchy neighborhoods. Nothing says 'Welcome home' like a psychotic transvestite hooker in torn fishnet stockings and three days of beard and off his meds waiting for you with a brick. Or is that only where I live? Naw, seriously, congratulations; I'd like to hear more about it, see photos, etc. Have you had your survey done yet? Is your lender requiring one. We geev good survey cheap, fast-fast, yum! When we go to Turkey, Shari and I will get you one of those evil eye charms to keep the bad mojo from your doorstep. Dunno if that works for loose pitbulls, though ...

A houseful of Devyani girls sounds like the best housewarming present ever. We should bring y'all up here for some sweet sweet dancey goodness!

Ge-off, in my neighborhood the sex workers are mostly female & have this awesome business model where they also cover your drug-related needs. It's a one-stop rock&roll lifestyle shop.

Good luck. Sounds awesome. I, too, live in a sketchy neighborhood near Nadira.
