kind of a silly end to a crazy up and down week.  the house that we thought was going to be a "steal" because of all the work that it required got 5 bids -- and netted out with 5 different counter offers.

While we were one of the last few standing, we didn't get the final bid.  Jon says that it only proves that there are bigger fools than us out in the market...but me, I just want a house. 

the other similar house in the 'hood that was a little more "finished" got 10 offers -- with 2 that were 42% over asking. 

I'm frustrated enough to riot.   

 

just came back from being back east this weekend....real summer hot weather.  crazy caterpillars everywhere.  jon and I were back to be part of an akhand ramayan -- crazy non-stop ramayana reading from cover to cover -- it took over 24 hours!

warm night. visited a friend's start-up -- customizable images!  www.imagechef.com.  pretty cool for me because I was one of those kids who could never find her name in that rack with all the fake license plate keychains....

this is new media related.

www.ourmedia.org has finally launched!  will this fulfill the much discussed long-tail of video entertainment?  Probably not by itself.

would love to hear what y'all think about it.
