Oh, people, I want this house: [link]
We could technically afford it, but it is more than I wanted to spend. It would mean, for example, that it would make no sense to go to France next year.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

I woke up with a headache, but now it's building to a migraine. Come on, brain! I only need to hang in there two more hours and then we can jet.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh, that's a good one, flea.
You should have a secretary, Dana.

Pretty house, flea. Any chance they'd negotiate?

I think it is well-priced. In the current market my main hope is it doesn't go under contract before we can see it.
I am frantically doing math and self-justification, while I wait to see if we can see it tonight.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Fingers crossed, flea!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
That is pretty much my dream house right there.

Because books.
But that's my dream house!
Can I live with you?
Scrappy, did you grow up on the East Coast? That's the sort of house I was used to growing up in New Jersey, and it's still my very favorite. Give me a porch and built-ins and fireplaces any day.

If we buy it, everyone is invited to come laze in our hammock.
