homey-oh-my-oh
so i made a not-very-serious, not-promise (statement of intent?) that i'd be a homeowner by age 40. i'm neither yet (phew). but have started some of the legwork, and am finding myself boggled and overwhelmed, but also exhilarated at the prospect.

we had a little meeting with a broker (whoa) and it was very illuminating. turns out that i don't have to live in a falling-down-shack, but i probably won't be returning to ess-eff to stay. but heyyyy, it's a big dang bay, and i'm really grooving on the shorts during summertime thing. so it's not sucha bad trade-off. funny thing was, the broker was asking us questions like how long we thought we'd be in a place and so on, and to paraphrase hacker, if i can afford anything in the bay, i'm thinking you'll hafta bury me in it!

in the meantime, as with all impending change, the existing sitch becomes all the more dear. so i'm finding myself wandering through chinatown, the warehouses, and the waterfront, trying to get my fill of what i'll soon have to give up. guess appreciation's always a good thing, even when it's a bit premature.

want
ok, that's it. i want a roomba. i don't care if it's imperfect. the combination of less vaccuuming, watching kehoe react to it, and having a robot is just too much. i've been putting it off, and pretending i don't want. but i do.

but then, i was also thinking about want vs. need, and how we're (especially me) all programmed to want want want...sigh. so we'll see.
