Sold...
Well looks like the townhouse is officially sold. We thought we had a winning contract Tuesday night when we first reviewed contracts, but the potential buyer got cold feet and backed out of the deal. But it worked out ok because we had 8 other contracts to fall back on. Of those 8, two potential buyers resubmitted contracts, and we got everything we needed over the weekend and signed the paperwork yesterday. Closing is scheduled for June 22nd. We move out July 6th. It's sort of a bitter sweet feel for Rachel and I right now. While we are both happy we are moving to a new house, the townhouse was our first home together. So it will be a little sad leaving, but we'll always have some great memories of the townhouse. We hope the new owner will be as happy as we have been in that house.
There's a line in the movie Old School that was totally like my weekend this past weekend. Will Ferrell is talking to these two frat guys and he's talking about this crazy weekend he and his wife have planned. But in actuality his weekend consisted of going to Home Depot, Bed Bath and Beyond and Pottery Barn. This past Saturday was spent buying a new vacuum, lawnmower and picking out paint and carpet colors. Sunday consisted of furniture shopping and buying a new washer and dryer. PARTY!!!! SCORE!!! But I did manage to get myself a laser level and they come with these sweet looking amber goggles. Rachel said I look like an old man who just had eye surgery when I put them on. This coming memorial day weekend...all about ceiling fans and patio furniture baby!!! Man I'm old.
Unfortunately because of the craziness surrounding the sale of the townhouse, I didn't get to see a single inning of the Subway Series. The series has sort of lost some of it's luster for me, but it's still exciting when the Yankees beat up on the Mets. Nothing will compare to the exitement of the 2000 World Series, where the games meant a whole lot. Chances are I may never see another Subway World Series in my lifetime, but Im glad I got to see one. Having a crosstown rivaly with the Mets IS something I appreciate though. There are a few good ones like the Cubs and White Sox and the Giants and the A's, but then there are just awful ones like the Nationals and the Blue Jays and Arizona vs Detroit. Wow a football games between those two cities would be pretty shitty too. The Cardinals vs the Lions. Yuck!!!
It's funny to me how many ex Yankees show up on the Mets. I guess the Mers are tired of being second fiddle in the Big Apple and grasp at straws. Kind of ironic that Miguel Cairo's error was one of the contributing factors of the Yankees come back yesterday. I will commend Chris Benson for a well picthed game on Saturday (except for when he almost broke Jeter's wrist. The Yankees lineup has been on fire for the past two weeks, and to shut them down the way he did is very impressive.
Didn't see the Star Wars this weekend. May try to catch it this week out of pure curiosity. While I enjoy the other Star Wars movies, I guess Im not one of the huge die hard fans. If anything, Rachel is more of a fan than I am. Whenever there is too much hype about something, it makes me want to see it that much less. I guess it just makes me feel like a lemming, mindlessly following the masses. Plus overall I don't really enjoy the movie going experience as much as I used to. I know Im gonna sound like an old man here, but between the idiotic teenages who talk on their cell phones, and people getting up from their seats 100 times, I'd just much rather watch a movie at home. I can pause a movie if I need a bathroom break, I can grab a soda and it won't cost me $5.00, and I don't have the urge to jam a cell phone down a pimply faced teenagers throat. Plus if I start a movie at 8:00, I don't have to sit through 30 minutes of commercials and trailers. Lately I've started to feel the same way about sporting events. People in general are just rude, or maybe the rude ones just always get seated next to us. A prime example of a few bad apples ruining things for everyone. Wow I'm starting to sound like Larry King and Andy Rooney. Every morning I start my day with delicious Welch's grape juice and Ester C!!!
We got around to watching the seaon finales of CSI and House this week. Wow they were both so good. The episode of CSI was directed by Quentin Tarantino which is cool, but the overall story was just amazing. One of the CSI's gets kidnapped at a crime scene. He's then burried alive in a fiberglass coffin. Inside the coffin is a tape player, a gun with a single bullet a spotlight and a web cam. So all the other people back at the CSI lab can go to this web page and see poor Nick laying in the coffin, trying to claw his way out. Then when things get really bad, they get even worse, because the coffin begins to crack a little, which causes fire ants to start spilling in, eating him alive. So I now officially have a new worst fear!

Congrats on selling the town house. I understand the odd feeling of having to settle in a new place especially after your memories were in the first home. Many firsts there.
Good luck buddy. As far as the Subway series, I am sick of it the novelty has worn off. The novelty wore off after the 2000 world series. After a world series everything else seems like an exhibition game. And I think they shoudl have realigned a litulke bit, and made the O's play the Nationals. And the Phillies could play the blue jays in a rematch of the 92 World series.
Did you see Saturday's gme with Koo going wild?
Yeah, I feel the same way that it's pretty anyticlimactic now since the World Series in 2000 meant so much more. I suppose if the Mets were in a playoff hunt, or the Mets had a chance to eliminate the Yankees from the playoff hunt it may add a bit more excitement.
I didnt see any of the games this past weekend, but my mom mentioned Koo's performance when I spoke to her over the weekend.
Yeah, O's vs Nats would be cool. The Redskins played the Ravens a few years back and it was pretty exciting around here. They called it the battle of the beltway.
have you heard the new SOAD? At first it's a bit weird to listen to, but it really starts growing on you.
Yeah I love the new SOAD. Like you said a few songs took a while to grow on me though. Like at first I didnt like the song Question, but now I do. Only problem I have with the CD is that Im left wanting more. It's very short, only like 35 minutes total. That intro song Soldierside pisses me off, because it has the makings of a great song, and its only like 30 seconds long. Give me more. BYOB is a great song, very intense. I think my two favorite songs are This Cocaine Makes Me Feel Like Im On This Song. That song is so unique, it's like nothing I've ever heard. And I really like Cigaro too. I don't know how Serg sings that fast. He must be exhausted after a concert. They definitely used a lot of eastern European sounding music on this CD. A few songs make me think of Russian dudes wearing fuzzy hats squatting and kicking their feat out. Now I can't wait for the next one to come out in the fall!
Have you heard their song Johnny? I think its off of a movie soundtrack. Another short song, but man is it fun to listen to.
