Condo Viewing #4
I went a viewed more condos this evening. They were in the same building as the one I mentioned after my second viewing. They all had the exact same floor plan, but they were in different parts of the building, and in different condition. None of the ones I saw this time were renovated, but [...]
Condo Viewing #3
I went and saw another condo a few days ago, and should be seeing some more early this week. The one I saw recently was actually pretty nice. I can already think of a few things I would do to improve it, because it does need some work, despite the significant work that the current [...]
Low Income Housing
The title of this post is a bit sarcastic. I’m not exactly a low income earner. However, given the high price of housing in this city, I sometimes feel like I am.
I talked to my mortgage broker today, and found out how much money I can get approved for. It’s about $20,000 less than I [...]
Gnotes: Rhymes and Beats
A few weeks, I was contacted by someone involved in the promotion of an indie hip hop artist called Gnotes. He has a new album out, called Rhymes and Beats. You can listen to the whole album for free on the album web page, to see if you like it or not.
I listened to the [...]
Condo Viewing #2
I went and looked at some more condos this evening, and I think I may have found my new home. There were actually 2 units that I was really interested in, based on the listings I had been shown on Friday. After looking at the units in person, those two are still the ones that [...]
New Computer
I’ve finally purchased a new computer. I’ve been in need of a new PC for quite a long time. My old desktop is, well, old. It has a number of problems with it. The CD-ROM drive is dead. There is something wrong with the video card. There is almost no free memory on the machine. [...]
Condo Viewing #1
I viewed my first set of condos today. It was, I have to admit, very odd. The main reason for this is that the place I looked at, like most of the places I’ll be looking at, is an apartment convert. It’s not even a convert, really. No renovations have been done, and people are [...]
Condo Shopping
I’m going to look at condos tomorrow. For the moment, I’m only looking at one building (several units within that building, though). I will look at more in the future, of course, but this is a start. Despite the fact that the building is an apartment convert (as are 99% of the condos in my [...]
ink slinger publishing
I’m launching my own “underground” publishing house. It’s not so much a publishing house as it is me, with a computer and a printer, and maybe a photocopier at Staples if manually flipping pages to print double-sided gets to be too inconvenient for me.
As you may have guessed from the title of this post, and [...]
Office Fever: Like Cabin Fever, but Without the Cabin
I’ve been feeling like I need to get out of the office a lot, lately. I keep finding excuses to leave the office during my coffee breaks. Sure, there is free coffee, tea, and even snack food at the office, but I find myself going to Tim’s, or the convenience store, just to get out [...]
