f*ck this. Came home tonight to find a notice pinned to my door - the landlords decided they want to rent to someone else. We have to vacate within 60 days.
jeezuzfukkinChrist I'm fed up with moving.

Actually I was slightly wrong -they're selling.

That's a relief. You can stay put once you buy it.

Well, if our financial advisor hadn't lost us our life savings, we would.

They are only ones making money everytime.

May be time to get a NEW financial advisor..?

They can't afford another one.

I'm doing that myself with the pittance we have left. We threatened the bank, they gave us a few thousand in compensation.

Here's an incredible gif that doesn't fit anywhere else:

Sold three copies of my novel at last night's poker. Final one was to a complete stranger (not playing) who came over to ask what that book was that I'd sold the others.

Good news, just got a call from the realtor saying the owners changed their mind.
Panic over, as you were.

I'd still move. They changed their minds for now...obviously they wanted to sell for a reason.

I just had one of those weird epiphanies. I watched this video a while back:


I've always hated Chicago-style pizza and much prefer New York. Little did I realize that Burt's place isn't just Chicago-style pizza - it's the Chicago pizza:

Yeah. We're looking at that.

But for the moment the pressure is off. Worst thing was that because Mrs Thecurl left on business the day before the notice arrived, for a month (NYC, London, then Ghana), the house-hunt was something she couldn't participate in.

So someone came up to me in the pub last night, convinced that I was Robert Plant. He'd just seen him on TV, and he was convinced that I was he. I just looked up what Plant looks like these days, and I hope he'd been looking at some very old footage...

That reminds me of the time this guy was chirping me at the bar. I didn't even realize he was talking to me until I happened to look over. I said "what's your problem?" and he said "the Habs suck". I said "ok, I'm a Leafs fan, why are you bothering me?" and then he said "why are you wearing a Habs jersey?" At this point the entire bar broke out into laughter because I wearing a construction-vest style safety orange shirt (it looks nothing like a Habs jersey). It was probably the same guy.

What TF is that acronym Quirky?
