He's busy.

Well, drat. I will interrupt my self-drowning for a pout.

OK, 'bout done with that.

What $650K get you in New Orleans

On Milne? Seriously? Huh.

The most expensive listing I could find is this:

The zip code I work in has everything from $5K (ok, so those are the ones that are boarded up and probably don't have a roof) to $1.5 million. It's an old neighborhood.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Happy Birthday Betsy!!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, right, I had a question.

Guy e-mailed me and wants me to quote an hourly rate for a contract job. Do I just quote the rate (which I'm pretty attached to), or do I bother justifying it with my years of experience and my soon-to-be graduate degree?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Just quote it.

$650K in Seattle will get you this: [link]

Not my neighborhood, but the one I'd buy in if cost were no object.

Here's a house similar though not identical to our rental, not too far from here: [link]

People who read Bitches will know that we've made tentative plans to buy this house directly from our landlord. It'll only work out if we can get a discount from him based on our long residence and the fact this place is a serious fixer-upper (needs a new roof, an earthquake retrofit, major work in the bathroom, etc. etc. etc.)

What is even happening?

Susan, are you going to let him mention a price, first?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

A condo is what you shop for when a house is really out of your price range.

Or if you hate the fuck out of yard work enough.
