Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, see -- fuck that noise.

OMG! I have to work four days next week -- literally the most I've worked in a year.

Art Crawl!!!

Well, I work for a university so of course it is 8 am.

I know people who had the option of going in at 8, 9 or 10 -- but these were people NOT working for a university. (The later they went in, the later they had to stay at the office. On the other hand, at least one of those people habitually turned in 12-14 hour workdays -- so what the frell difference did it make WHEN she started?)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Depends on whether you're a morning person, I'd guess.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

The median home price in San Diego was $593,600 in April, up from $588,800 in March and $527,320 in the year-ago period.
The minimum household income needed to purchase a median-priced home at $509,230 in California in April was $120,290, based on an average effective mortgage interest rate of 5.92 percent and assuming a 20 percent downpayment.
Seriously, are these numbers real? It's like Monopoly money.

Too real. It's insane.

I'm getting the pig!

I no longer feel sorry for Katie.

Katie frightens me.

Tom can keep her, for all I care. As long as they don't have children.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

San Franciscans laugh at your monopoly money real estate. We're beyond all sticker shock.

I'm actually worried about Katie Holmes. She doesn't seem to realize that she's a beard. She seems to be genuinely in love/limerance/infatuated. She's going to be a bitter bitter woman when she susses it out.

It's just scary.

I rent a tiny old house and I love it here, but this place was built in 1928 and is pretty much original everything. It would cost about $700K to buy. For a place whose electrical is still wrapped in fabric. Damn cute, but she's showing her age.

Are the median prices that different? The numbers really just don't seem real.

I also haven't moved. It's just so damn pretty...

Hours later...

the first Katie who came to mind

Who was that?

Katie M. So, you see why the relief.
