We're such grownups today. We put a deposit down at the dealer to try to find us the exact car we want (2007 Nissan Versa S in Blue Onyx/Grey). Then we filled out an application to try to prequalify for a mortgage so we can buy a hizzle in western mizzle. We spent the evening going through the listings that a realtor sent us, and disqualifying certain towns based on high tax rates. Phooey!

Of course, now Jen is watching episodes of Charlie's Angels, so I'm feeling REALLY old. Those 70s ladies sure are funny. If I were a bad guy, I would run screaming from their BIG HAIR!

I am still addicted to the AOL Gold Rush games. Somebody stop me!

Dude, it's almost my birthday!

Did you get the ring that I sent you?

The paperclip ring? Yeah, I totally LJed about how wonderfully beautiful it was. I thought I had called you, too, but maybe I didn't. Because I suck. But yes, I did, and it is awesome and it gets a LOT of compliments.

The only problem is that I stick my hands in my pockets a lot and I'm always getting it caught on stuff. But I love it!!! xoxoxoxo THANK YOOOOOOOU

Yeah mine gets caught on things a lot too and I'm forever bending it back into shape. If I'd had the tools, I would have soldered it a little bit to make it a little more sturdy. I was a little worried that it might be a little big... Also, I *TOTALLY* missed your LJ post about it. Guess I should be paying more attention...

Dude, it's totally okay that you didn't see my LJ. I need to stop using LJ as a means of "reliable" communication anyway. I should have called you. I actually had all of these high hopes of handcrafting you a thank you card, but I don't know what happened to that plan. Oh, I remember - I'm lame.

But yes, THANK YOU SO MUCH. It is a bit big for the ring finger and a teensy bit tight for the middle finger, but I usually wear it on the middle anyway and just let it push on my skin a little. It holds its shape better that way and I don't snag it as much.

But man, I'm glad I'm not the only one who is always having to try to bend it back! :)

<3 Aw that was the best.

You know what's funny? According to Gmail, you sent this comment at 10:04 am. My birthday is 10/04. Spoooooky!

what towns are you or are you not looking at?

Date: 2006-09-23 02:05 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] judecorp.livejournal.com
Well, Amherst's taxes are RIDICULOUS. And parts of Northampton are right up there, also. But the cheapest taxes in that general area are in Hadley - we didn't know that before. :)

dont live in hadley :(

over the bridge is a different world. better to go 20 minutes up into the hilltowns (goshen, williamsburg) than even like 10 mins over the bridge (esp if you will ever be coming into noho during traffic time).

towns to think about: florence, leeds, williamsburg, goshen. even haydenville.

Date: 2006-09-26 12:07 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] judecorp.livejournal.com
Well, but Jen's job is in Amherst, so one way or another, we will have to deal with the bridge. Yanno?

We are already looking in Florence and Leeds. Goshen is not out of the picture but we haven't seen any affordable listings there.

Date: 2006-09-26 12:10 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] hope-persists.livejournal.com
yeah, goshen is a bad plan for a commute to amherst. what is your price range, if you dont mind me asking (feel free to email the answer).

a friend lives on a sweet really quaint st in noho and the building across the street is up for sale. i asked her to write down the number for me to give you. i dunno if noho is in your price range, but i do hear the housing bubble has POPPED big time.

Well, in a perfect world (and when is it ever perfect?) we're hoping to stay at $250K or under. And there ARE places in Noho that fit that bill, it's just that the taxes are higher in Noho and Eaho than in some other places... and I don't want to end up paying $300/month in taxes (because then all of a sudden things aren't affordable anymore).

We're probably looking at buying an older, less "hip" on the inside, house and doing some remodeling. At least, I hope it's that easy. Because we need to find something STAT.

I'd /love/ to live in Northampton, yanno? We'll see how it goes.

One of the teachers at Hannah's school has one, it's really a good-looking car. I'll have to learn how to fix it, of course.... :)

You can have practice with us. Though hopefully we won't have the vandalism we had with the Focus.

I think it's more than a little bit of a coincidence that I surround myself with so many Libras. Seriously.

We should get together and eat some cake!

*sigh* Libras.

What's Jen's sign?

I'm an Aries, and eeka and I know another Libra/Aries pair, except they're sisters, not partners. It's an interesting dynamic sometimes. :)

Jen and I are so codependent that we share a birthday. ;)

Dammit, I knew that, too. We've talked about it before.

Don't mind me, I'm all slow and forgetty.

It's okay, I still like you.

Yay! :)

Versa

Did you test drive a Honda Fit? I'm curious how it and the Versa compare. My car is fine for now but if I needed a new one, the Fit and the Versa would both appeal (assuming the Toyota Prius to be too expensive).

Re: Versa

Date: 2006-09-24 10:05 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] judecorp.livejournal.com
Actually, we really wanted to drive a Fit but we couldn't. We called several Honda dealers and they all said they did not have any Fits, that they were selling them by pre-order only. And well, I can't logically buy a car I haven't even seen in person. So, Versa it is, because we found a place that had Versas to drive and look at and poke around in.

I've been told by others that they're pretty comparable, and that the Versa may have a /little/ more pick-up and hatch space.

One thing I dig on the Versa is that it has little teeny windows near the side-view mirrors, which adds a little bit to visability and just is kind of keen.

When we see you at Thanksgiving, you can drive the Versa.

I'll have you know that after Casey Novak's FIRST season...Her hair went normal. Well, blonde, which I'm not digging (although the honey tint of late is substantially better than when she first coloured it) but still it's not BIG like that anymore. Ahem.

And yes, I shushed my living room last night when she came on the screen. Meghan snickered, as did my roomie. Addict.

What channel is showing Charlie's Angels?

It's true, her hair has gotten much flatter and less scary. But I don't like the blonde at all.

Charlie's Angels has popped up in the "Tube Time" (Read: Old) section of our On Demand.
