On the house hunt - Part IV

Another set of viewings came and went.  this was much nicer than the last one we had gone to. The description of the place was that it was going to be a little bit of a mess, but we were instructed to take a look and see if we liked it.  We got there, and I swear we could have smelled the place down the hallway. It was a loft space in cabbagetown.  The location was great and the space would have been very nice, but seeing that my feet were sticking to the lamenent floor that was compaired to the state of the floor after a "rave" it was disgusting.  I won't even go into the state of the bathroom in this place.  We definitely didn't get that place. We saw a couple of other places last night, and those went way better.  It is quite a feeling to know that the place...

On the house hunt part III

So off to another viewing. It is funny how crazy some of the hype gets for places in the city.  The same places are up for grabs and people get very excited about viewings.  This was an open house that really brought the excitement.  The place did not live up tot he expectation nor should it have really been sought after..that is if you are 6 foot or taller. Either way, the place wasn't the right spot for us after all. With that in mind we ended up more within central part of the city.  Right off of Spadina and University. The place was old but had character.  The old character coupled with the old piping did not...

On the house hunt - Part II

Well tonight was a bit of an interesting evening when it came to our current house hunt. I guess I should have been a little suspect, when she turned to me and immediately after getting off the phone with the potential landlord, she says "Baby, this guy is WEIRD.  I am not too sure about this...". I think to myself that, it can't be that bad, so we go for it. This guy was a straight weirdo. I don't think that in meeting prospective clients, would I tell someone to meet me at one place and take me to another.  Not only were we lead down the block to the other house, but literally walked 3 paces in front checking his blackberry. ...

On the house hunt

Well here we are on the house front.  Looking for a new domain to rest our heads. It is a great ordeal to have to move.  The packing, the sorting, the throwing.  For me that will eventually equal out to a very large miscelleaneaous box.  But for now, the thought of that is giving me chills.  We currently are not involved in packing...yet, but it is soon, very soon. So 3 places we saw today and the viewings will continue.  I realize that sometimes it is easy to let your emotions go and start to envision what you would look like in the space that is provided.  Sometimes the visinos are grand and unlimited, and...

Happy No Year 2011

Welcome to a new year. Welcome to another new beginning.  This is the time where all things become equal.  This is the time where we all can be anything It is fascinating how the new year can be quite cleansing.  It washes away the factors of the past, and ushers in a new wave of motivation and possibility. It is great to see that we all can start over.  We all can change. It is funny how much pressure can be put on the start of a new year.  The pressure to stay perfect.  The pressure to start, maintain or suffer through the excrutiating pain of those unpleasant resolutions that we know will not last. As I...
