Go get Pad Thai, Amy! It's not scary at all! And very delicious.
You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

I've still never had Thai food.
COME AND VISIT ME RIGHT NOW THAT IS AN ORDER.

Because books.
I'm saying! I grew up on Wonder Bread! It was a long time before I ate Chinese takeout!

All I'm saying is, I live three doors down from some pretty amazingly delicious drunken noodles. So.

Because books.
And I have to say, the last reason I would visit you would be for drunken noodles, but it would be a nice bonus!
I would love to come up, actually. I haven't been in NYC since last summer, and it feels like ages ago. Plus, I want to meet Dylan and Aeryn.

Now I want Thai food too, only I have a 3-meal-sized steelhead filet in my refrigerator that I really need to cook tonight (bought it as a manager's special, so its shelf life is pretty much over).

Do not speak to me of the Zillow. The problem with it is, it gives buyers an idea of what they think they should pay, that may or may not correspond to the reality of the market for that specific house. Also, they redid their algorithm within the last year, and retroactively applied it, and values dropped a lot back to 2007 or so.
Signed, been playing counteroffer tag all week, and still think it's pointless. (Although thank god we're not underwater; we'll lose money on the house all told, but we hope to get a good chunk of our down payment back.)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Now I also want Thai food. I'd been planning to go to the newly re-opened indie bookstore after work, and get dinner at the cafe there, but there is a Thai restaurant down the street from the bookstore, too. Hmm.
Also, I'm having some fun arguing with someone in blog comments who seems to think that, if he puts an argument in the form of a "mathematical proof," then everybody will just nod and say, "Oh, yes, numbers, so he must be right," when in fact, his argument makes no sense whatsoever. I'm not even saying that he's wrong, although he is wrong. It's that he's saying the equivalent of "blue is the same thing as yellow, therefore I'm right when I say that pink is darker than red." Only with a lot of equations in there.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Zillow thinks I have one more bathroom than I do, and a fireplace, which I don't. Not sure if or how that affects anything. The value it has listed for my house is what I paid for it three years ago. If I put it on the market now, I think I'd get about $10k less.
