Lovely Listing

Humanity won't be happy until the last interior decorator…

Mar. 3, 2009


I’m not much of a class warrior, for the good reason that I’m firmly middle class and wouldn’t know who to go to war against, or what my agenda should be: jogging strollers for all? Give us Costco executive membership or give us death? Don’t tread on me, please?

But when I see a listing like this one, found by MidC Frank, I think it might be time for a little adjustment in our economic system. If you’re going to spend ten million clams and do this… well, maybe you’d be happier out here in suburbia with me.

(Also found by Cara, who saw it on blog.deleteyourself.com, but I’d already written this entry so Cara just gets the small letters. And then Melanie sent me it. You see a big nekkid lady, you think of me. Hurray! No, really, hurray. Thanks to all three of you. I couldn’t do this without the e-mails I get.)

Built during the bricklayers' strike of 1918

Mar. 3, 2009


Oh, I don’t know. Just put some bricks there. No, like that. That! OK, now put some…. I don’t know…. there. Or there, whatever, I don’t care, just slap the bricks together and let’s call it a day.

This is Allston, not LA

Mar. 2, 2009


Aww, Elizabeth found a listing in Allston, my old home. I appreciate the honesty. The real estate agent could’ve had the kitchen as the main photo, or an exterior, or really pretty much anything, but he went with the graffittied garage. Start planning your keggers now! Tell the rugby team the party’s at your place!

P.S. I actually lived in Lower Allston, which is entirely different.

Go, stroller, go! The mud creature’s nearly got you! Roll as fast as your little wheels can carry you!

The mud and the blood and the beer and the "for sale" sign

Mar. 1, 2009


Allison found this evidence of a bar brawl. Save valuable family time! Buy a house with the fight already in progress!
