House Hunting

So today I got up on 6 hours sleep to go look at a house in West Philly. I'm in the process of considering to possibly buy a piece of property with my younger brother Mike and his wife. Naturally when you have to get up early for something, you get stuck at work until an ungodly hour. Or is that just my luck? Some poor girl was stuck on a call with one of Marge Simpson's sisters until 12:40 AM last night. Just enough time for me to miss my 12:30 bus home. Yippee! Anyway, I digress as I am prone to do...

Rolled outta bed and got down to West Philly to see this house which turned out to be super...if you have a severe crack problem and are actually homeless. However, if you are looking to buy something to inhabit in 5 months, this wasn't the place for you. Basically it was a shell of a house. Everything inside it would need to be replaced....down to the beams in the ceilings. And for this lovely fixer upper, the realtor only wanted a measely $160,000. Fuck you. I will say this, you can pretty much wash down any disappointment in life by following it up with a hearty breakfast at Perkins. Which I did. Yum.

So, since I was off today and the whole house thing was a mess, I decided to check out a flick. Open Water wasn't as scary as they advertise, but I found myself enjoying it somewhat. I would have rather seen Hero, but what are you gonna do? Sharks are scary. Period. Especially when they are real ones. I'd probably recommend waiting for the DVD if you are curious.
