Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Not that particular article, but things along those lines and now I want to set things on fire.

I have never heard of a renter's resume before. Yikes! Maybe don't mention wanting to set things on fire on it? Just a hunch.

I do not know how to feel about the Honda commercial with the family singing Weezer.

Also, shrift, USF has a renter's resume template if that's helpful.

I guess, Kat. Weezer being in an ad is somehow stranger to me than, like, Push It.

So I got my water bill today. I hadn't thought to check my water usage: I used an average of 12 gallons per day over the last quarter. Which is ... very little. Wish I got a discount on my rates for that!

Well done!

Gah, I am having trouble winding down and going to sleep because I am all keyed up from finding an app that will link my pantry inventory with my recipes and meal plan and shopping list. WTH, self?

Renter's resume sounds onerous. Who thought that was a good idea?! Just meet the dang applicants in person.

It's a little difficult when 40+ people show up for an open house, I suspect...

shrift, it's worth looking into particular landlords. My niece got her apartment by finding a particular landlord/property manager that had a bunch of buildings, and just doing their application process: they didn't advertise publicly because they didn't want to get overwhelmed in the Craigslist madness. The down side is fewer apartments; the up side is way less competition inside a walled garden.
