Damn! I think it repeats on Saurdays, so I think I'll get to see it.

Kat, what books do you still need?
aurelia, I'm still looking for Lord of the Flies, A Handmaid's Tale, and 1984. Sigh. I have a donors choose [link] proposal up for 29 copies of Handmaid's Tale that I hope gets added to the Tomato Nation challenge and then funded. Sigh.
Have any of you looked at the HuffPost Babies for Obama and Babies for McCain slide shows? [link] (the link is to obama's and there is another link on that page to mccain's. So interesting.

And WHOA, sara, the bathrooms on that house? WHOA. That's all I can say.

sarameg, I kind of dig that house. As noted, the appalling decorating choices are... appalling, but relatively easy to fix. And not to sound like the realtor, but it looks like the owner really did try to make it efficient without feeling cramped.
And the wee little closet-kitchen is kind of adorable. I don't know how useful it would be, realistically, but lord knows it's not taking up much space. So even if it was just a "I don't have to leave the bedroom to get breakfast!" thing on weekends... well, bonus!
Because I'm lazy, yes. Anyway.
I dunno. If it was me, I'd at least go look at it. Worst case, I wind up going, "Nice concept, but I'd go insane in a week living here." If nothing else, the decor makes me think whoever lived there really took pride in the place, which means they probably kept the actual structure in good shape.

I like the house, sarameg. What paint has done, paint can undo. I rather like the outside color, but the room with the crumpled ceiling is scary.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah, I say go look.
Went to one open house here in LA, and we ran out of rooms way too fast. I'd been assuming there was a second floor for the price--remember, kat?

I do. Wasn't the price round $900,000? The biggest selling point was that it was near the Apple Pan.

Oh, ha! Picture #16 is excellent! Conversation piece, anyway. It does look like a nice place - the scary crumple ceiling is fabric, right? That is an interesting choice.
