'Safe'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I troll the open houses list in the paper, but most are waaaay out of my league.
You should probably go to a couple of open houses, even if you know you can't afford it, just to establish what you are and aren't willing to settle for.
Plus, trapsing through the homes of complete strangers? FUN!!!
I was thinking I'd just walk around 'til I saw a house I liked, ring the doorbell, and tell the owner, "I really like your house. Can I have it?"
Nah, you just wait until they move to Switzerland. Less icky human interaction that way.
My cynicism is such now that I think what should have been a deep reaching scandal on the order of Watergate, will evaporate in a whirl of spin.
IMHO we've already had several scandals bigger than Watergate....
My cynicism is such that if that gets any traction at all it will be because the guy was involved with gay porn. While I don't mind hypocrisy getting called, I suspect it will be the "gay" and the "porn" and not the hypocrisy that gets play.

When we moved when I was 16, it was into a development still under construction. So lots of houses without locked doors that me & mom would walk through just prior to completion. It was cool, and we'd compare them to ours and discuss how we would furnish them and whatnot. Then the open houses. I think we saw the inside of every house built between 1991 and when I left for college. Mom has seen the rest.
I do feel weird walking into other people's houses. Like I should apologize or something. Projecting my oversized bubble, I think. I need to get over it.
ALIAS: wouldn't a Romanian say Praha or some variant, not Prague? Or PROG, as he did.

Uh huh.
Looking at places to live with no pressure is fun -- I went to look at an apartment with a friend recently, and she was all grateful, but I really did enjoy it. Aside from the broker. (NYC apartment broker -- a breed apart.)
Alias: Whoa! Dixon laying down the low to Sloane!
OMG Wife Swap: Conservative (interracial) couple and liberal (white) lesbian couple. I may have to watch this.
I love Dixon.
Also, after all the shit over a cartoon asthmatic bunny and a barely noted lesbian family, what's on Wife Swap, according to commercials? A wife swap involving a lesbian pair. Maybe Spelling can have a fit over that too!
But I'll bet the rating will be too high....
xpost: Jesse, I know. But I am afraid of cringing too much at hurtful shit. This show is a train wreck to begin with.
AND the straight ones are rich and formal. HAR.
