Or does [REDACTED] have a slower housing market than CA?
You know, I read that and thought "I have a what now?"

Thank you! As it says on the page...well, it's over a million, but under a million and a half, let's just say that. Everything is worth way too much in that damn county.

It really is beautiful in person. They are obsessive gardeners (my dad inherited that, I didn't [lol] ) and they've had so long to perfect it. I don't see how the next owners, whoever they might be, could possibly keep it up.

Also, what's funny is the inclusion of a dining room picture. I don't ever go in there, neither does anyone else. I can't recall them ever using it. It's purely for show, and I've been in that room less than any other in the house.

EDIT: I don't know if the market's slow. But yeah, everything I said above still stands...

Nobody ever goes in their dining rooms [lol] Except people whose dining rooms are their kitchens.

Man CA must have the worst buyer's market out of the rest of the USA that isn't a major city. 'Cos I think that house'd probably be at least 1.7 mil if it was here.

My Aunt Judy and Uncle Bob (actually great-aunt and great-uncle) who live a few miles from my grandparents have a huge dining room that they use regularly, including for massive family gatherings for Thanksgiving and Passover. By comparison, though, their kitchen is tiny. Their house is even older, see, and designed in a completely different way...

Pfft, you kids and your shiny dynamic arrays. In C we have to use linked lists, and if you screw it up then all hell breaks loose!

[up]I'm afraid not... So what's wrong with VB? It's very handy for instant exe and applications. I know a bit of Java too since it looks identical to C++, but only a bit.

There was once a plan to make a Highschool AU cartoon of Batman. Call me crazy, but I'd have liked to see that. Doesn't help that the promotional art looked pretty good.

I have the urge to buy a new game today. But I haven't even beaten Human Revolution yet. Normally not a problem for me (which is why I have several, which I'll probably never finish), but with HR it's different, since I spent unusual large amount of time with it. Although not enough apparently, since, as I mentioned before, I haven't beaten it.

Watched Rango the day before yesterday. It was an amazing movie. The Dragon is easily the most badass character from PG movies with coolest lines. The lines in general were very hilarious, such as...

"Thespians? That's illegal in seven states!"

Oh, and Ride of Valkyries. On banjo. Seriously, this movies is fucking awesome.

You know what I like about the many-worlds theory?

Nothing you can say is a lie if you just add "in an alternate universe".

No, I am not stalling on my homework. I am the world's perfect, most model student. In an alternate universe.

It's more an interpretation of a theory than a theory itself.

Something about the cache or cookies I think...

That's been a common bug in the past. If clearing the cookies/cache doesn't do anything try asking one of the staff about it.
