House!

[rax]

Made an offer and accepted a counteroffer on 2565 E Prince, Tucson, AZ 85716. (Google's knowledge of the place is busted; Zillow's is not.) Barring the inspection going terribly or something, I'll be moving around July 22. They're unwilling to fix the hot tub, which needs some repair. I WILL SURVIVE EVEN THIS. (by fixing the hot tub myself because HOT TUB) Seriously, for a tiny amount more than my house in Bloomington, this is just... whoah. It has a fig tree. I am going to sit in my yard by my koi pond eating figs from my fig tree. How will this be my life. Oh did I mention that the master suite is two stories tall and the second story has a library with stained-glass windows and a deck that looks out on the mountains? Because it is and it does! ...it doesn't have a door but who's counting. ;) (I might just put up a bead curtain, because cats. Whatever, we will work it out.)

Oh, and speaking of awesome, it looks like my girlfriend krinndnz  is going to be joining me there, if not immediately after I move, within a month or so. This is a huge thing and an awesome thing and a little scary and we're really excited to be doing it. There will be two rooms for housemates; one of them will probably be zanazibar and the other one... we have no idea yet! Clearly we need to find a fourth furry gender theorist. I'm sure Tucson is large enough that it will have another one. ;)

It's really not that bad by bus --- it's not as good as Glenn, but the 17 picks up within a block or so and takes you to the 4 which goes right through campus, or you can walk a few blocks to two lines that go directly through campus (15 and 103x).

That said, I am more than happy to help you with biking :)

Congratulations!

Oh wow, that sounds like an amazing dream house! I have to admit that I'm quite jealous. :D

Happiness and comfort to you and your new den! Just remember to put fifty smoke detectors around the stove and you should be fine.

Man, I wish I could take that last room. BUT I'M POOR AND ARIZONA IS HOT.

It looks fantastic. I especially like the nice spacious kitchen area and the big room it opens out into.

Exciting! Best of luck with the move.

So, CAFAB? Coyote-assigned furry at birth?

PS That house sounds amazingly fabulous. I am jealous of how swank it sounds.

Congratulations!!! That sounds totally amazing.

You will have to come visit!

I really want to find better language for species identification. Right now everything I have is super tongue in cheek which is kind of fun but also kind of frustrating? I like "molar animal" but no one knows what that means unless they've read this one paper I wrote and it's not published yet so yeah.

Yeswell. I think I would like this fixed more permanently than that. :)

The large bedroom would fit twooooooooo....

[rax.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty flabbergasted that I got it. :) Thank you!

One of the rooms is smaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllll... and has its own extra AC...

[rax.livejournal.com]

Hah! That housemate is not coming along, although I will still be making sure there is a fire extinguisher...

I'll send you pictures so that you can covet it long-distance in the meantime. :)

[somnialcat.livejournal.com]

Wow, congrats! That sounds lovely!

..."but no one knows what that means unless they've read this one paper I wrote and it's not published yet so yeah."

OMG THIS.

2300 SQ FT FOR UNDER $200K???

the 10 yr price graph is telling. holy shit.

It recently got rejected from a journal, but got very interesting comments from the peer reviewers; I'm going to be working on it more once I'm done with this accursed moving plot.

Welcome to the non-coastal USA. My previous house was 2700 square feet for about $180k.

...and is in a town of 70000 people around 75 minutes drive from the nearest airport. :/

And yeah, Tucson real estate crashed and it looks like things are, if not at bottom, close enogh to bottom that buying isn't crazy. I've got my fingers crossed.

[cyborg-kitty100.livejournal.com]

I am equally interested in the paper itself as the idea of speaking in academic terms that only exist in unpublished papers. :)

[cyborg-kitty100.livejournal.com]

Wow, congrats on getting in while the getting is good.

I could send you a draft if you were curious (and didn't distribute it, obviously). Do you have a preferred email address for that sort of thing? It's not a first draft by any means --- it's like version six I think --- but it still has some issues. :)

[cyborg-kitty100.livejournal.com]

Sure, would love to read it, thanks! I'll reply with, and then delete, my email.
