What games should I get?

One day without rain, it's back to heavy rain again!

1/4 - HotLikeMe is handling pretty much all of it. I just sign papers. She's an accountant and owns her own house besides this. She's doing a great job as far as I know.

Fedexed and faxed some documents back to the lender and seller. Basically there's no way to back out now except on HOA docs (which I haven't seen). HOA fees are bs but for the town here, almost all of them have them. I do get a pool, gym, clubhouse for it.

What's really pissing us off is they keep saying it's still for sale and showing it to people despite us being close to owning it. Apparently they won't take it down until they get one document from us. Pretty lame.

I'm closing like a week or so after I get back to California. Then it's moving time.

So I give her $400 for groceries, next day she wants money. She was supposed to take some of the money up to her moms and use it for groceries this month so her mom wouldn't have to pay for everything. She spent $100 in one day here. She just took another $100 and she wants another $50. I bought airline tickets for $800, GPS/Camera (like $500). It never ends.

See I'm buying a house and It's like $3,100 a month vs. $2,000 a month for my current rent. When I met her I was at $1,200 a month. She doesn't have a job so it's up to me. :(

I'm going to have to pay like $800 to move, get a washer, dryer, fridge. I have to pay like $800 to get out of the apartment. I have $77/month college loan payment coming up, I have $3k on my credit card because of all these bullshit purchases, and I owe $1k on car insurance. She's getting us another loan to help stay alive that I have to pay back within a year.

I think the lesson is, don't let your chicks near the money, even if that means they're going to leave you! :) Let them whine and cry instead.

It's a horrible time for me to buy a house. I really need my tax money rebate and I won't get it before I have to pay like $12k in closing costs. I'm even going to have to borrow money just to keep going besides the loan on the house. It's a great time to buy houses just a horrible time financially for me. I should say no but this is the only time I can probably get a decent place where I got it.

She keeps saying that if you wait, you might never see interest rates like this. She might be right. We'll see.

I got rid of cable, netflix, gametap. That's like $150. I will eventually in a year get like 10k back in taxes for the house but that's a long time to survive until then. I'm thinking of borrowing some money from my 401k despite it being down $40k. But they're in the process of changing 401ks at work for the 3rd time. So I don't know how easy it will be to get a loan. I hear it takes a long time. + if you lose your job, they want the money back instantly.

The house is a real deal. With the interest rate at only 5%, a few months ago the same house would have been out of reach at +6%. So the only real issue is just keeping going this year until I can get bonuses and tax rebates. I do get to claim 1-3 more people on my taxes though (baby, kid, her).

Woah is me.

Link - I know that guy. Maximum Overdrive is one of my fav movies. He's a real dick in that movie. Very memorable.

I've been here 2+ weeks. The reason we come up here is HotLikeMe's parents/brother live up here and she has to do a custody exchange several times a year. This is the longest I've ever been up here.

It's been neat spending this much time with the baby. During the week I'm at work until 7 and I only spend full days on the weekends. It's also been neat playing tons of WoW but I'm running out of things to do besides raiding.

It's starting to get boring though. I have 7 more days. Then I have to start moving into a new house. I can't afford Netflix or GameTap anymore. :(

Unions were originally created to protect workers from abusive employers. However, then the dirty people took them over and just use them to abuse the employer and everyone else. Now that the government is bailing out the auto industry it's just rewarding that corruption. The gov is corrupt and they're rewarding corrupt groups. Sad.

Why are other car makers outside of the US so much better, the lame unions. The car industries deserve to go under. What crap.

Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve With Ryan Seacrest, which aired from 11:30 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., remained the most-watched New Year's Eve show Wednesday/Thursday although its ratings slipped slightly from last year's, according to preliminary Nielsen figures. The countdown show, which has aired annually on ABC for 37 years, averaged an 8.5 rating this year versus an 8.8 a year ago. Earlier in the evening, a primetime special featuring Clark and Seacrest dominated the 10:00 p.m. hour, beating a rerun of the usually top-rated CSI:NY on CBS and NBC's New Year's Eve With Carson Daly.

I watched it and poor Dick looked/sounded like a robot. His face was seriously jacked up. Poor guy.

Link - Sounds like classic guard bribery to me.

I'm supposed to tell you it didn't rain today. I don't believe it though. I didn't go outside.

Link - Cool, I love their GPS. HotLikeMe's mom just got a GPS at Costco for $250 and it has phone stuff built in.

Link - Kill the terrorist f's please. Thanks.

Guess what? It's raining again today, for the 15th day in a row.

It actually snowed for a little while, which is supposedly rare in this location.
