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 [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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 :)

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

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.

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.

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. :)

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.

I am equally interested in the paper itself as the idea of speaking in academic terms that only exist in unpublished papers.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

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. :)

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