Awwwwwwww yeeeeeah.
Now I have a new set of keys on my keychain. The closing on the house went smoothly. The drive to Winchester was fine. The wedding was wonderful, and the rest of the weekend festivities were excellent.
A delightful surprise? My cousin Mick, whom I haven’t seen in at least 10 [...]

So yeah, the king of Nepal has agreed to reinstate parliament.
Let’s hope that’s the last of it…
I take that back…

It seems the other day that Nepal’s king had offered merely to share power with the people. Well, they weren’t havin’ it, so they continue to protest, and the police continue to shoot.
Hurrah.
Chuck that in the bottom 10…

Wow. I saw “Silent Hill” this afternoon. It was revolting.
The dialogue sounded as if a child repeatedly sat on a keyboard in order to write it. The story was wack. The conclusions were muddled.
It was freaky, but not particularly scary. Yeah, it was gory, but nothing too sickening.

Nepal’s King Steps Down
People in Nepal protested day after day, in huge numbers, despite a “shoot to kill” curfew and apparently no giving in from the king. Today, however, the king finally caved in to the people.
Rock on, Nepal!
It’s a celebration…

We initialled the changes on the contract last night, and as it turns out, the seller’s agent only this evening got it (after three faxes from ours). Our realtor seems to feel confident that this will all work [...]
To the dome!

AHHHH!!!
So yesterday I heard from my realtor, and the seller of the home basically a) doesn’t want to give ANY credits, and b) wants to hire his own contractors to make some repairs, and c) doesn’t want to replace the roof, but repair it.
After much fuming, discussion, and finally some consultation with my buddy William, [...]
