The guy we are buying the house from informed us he has not found a place to live yet. What the fuck? He sigend a ocntract that we would clos eon July 1tth. If he didn't think that was psosible why didn't he negotiate before signing. The mortgage will be ready, the homeowners insurance is ready, we gave our 30day notice to our landlord and the stupid seller can't get his act together.
This is a windowsill in a bedroom
It's so annoying to me. I am getting very nervous about the situation because they are serious cat scummers and I need time beofre I can even live in the house. There house is coated in cat hair in the nastiest way you could imagine. It is necessary that I have plenty of time to clean it out during the warm months when the windows can be open. When measuring the other day at the house, I opened up a furnace vent and found a cat hair matt the size of about a basket ball. Everything is sick and disgusting liek that. The whole house has that nasty cat amonia smell. NOw I know you all know how much I hate cats, but even for a cat lover this house is pushing it.
The other thing is that these people have so much freakin stuff, that even if they find a place and move, it is going to take forever. This is really bad because I cannot live there while any of there stuff is there. I don't want them to leave anything. Not even a doormat. They simply have to go and all their crap too.
I mean who keeps a filthy litter box in the fucking dining room. It pretty much smells like the cats just piss on the rugs.
I though we would have plenty of summer time to tear out all the carpets and clean but now he is taking his time as the contract said the closing date is July 11th. Then he made it sound like he might be ready in september or something. I am so freakin angry about this right now.
He also took an old sink that matched the house and replaced it with a new modern one. He had to do it for his ailing mother who lives there but he made it sound like he was gonna tak ethe original sink with him. The laywer said he can't do that.
On another note, what is up with the weather today. It was basically snowing with hail, followed by sunny sky. I heard in Cheektowaga there was a tornado, it even flipped a truck
Hail
Followed by Sun
I also have a cyst in my arm that hurts. I think I am falling apart.

Science and Sky RisesCategory: mobile
Visitors to a major science exhibition are to help teach computers how to read confusion, mirth and other expressions. It is hoped that this will lead to the development of ways to help people with autism recognise emotions.
The thousands of visitors to next week's Royal Society summer science exhibition are being invited to take part in research with "emotionally aware" computers designed to mind-read by analysing facial expressions.
and then the truthful part ...
The developers hope that one day smart adverts based on their technology will be able to tell when passers-by look glum and try to sell them something cheering, from an anti-depressant to a holiday.
I hate shit like that
On a totally separate note, how bad was it in the 50-80s on Deleware and Linwood that so many mansions got replaced by really ugly high rise buildings?
It's so weird. It goes mansion, mansion, mansion, super freakin; ugly sky rise, mansion, mansion, mansion. This one is pretty ugly on Deleware but the worst ones are those teal, florida style ones near Canisius High School.

I think those by Canisius are the absolute ugliest!!! I remember riding by there with my mom driving our '77 Impala when I was little, and thinking those were the ugliest ever...I never understood why the 70's/80's did that to people..make them want to create such ugly things...art deco? is that what that's called....oh, and you still haven't called me

Freakin Pouring Out /Slut DogsCategory: mobile
Went to the Buffalo Hatch again with (e:mathew) and (e:terry). We saw (e:metalpeter) while there and hung out wioth him for a couple hours while we toured around the Hatch.
We went down to the beach part and I put me feet in the water only to look like 15 feet in front of me to see this half burried 50 gallon drum.
For some reason they have men's showers here. Who uses them? Did you used to be able to swim here?
I think this should be the univeral symbol for moblog.
At the hatch they have this map of the new plan for the Buffalo waterfront. There are areas for each ethnic group. Including even new carribean. They seriously have just about every ethnic group listed, new italy, new africa, new poland, etc but they forgot new ireland. Kind of surprised me considering Buffalo's history.
I think it is really digusting how all the fancy motorboats put so much oil in the water. There really should be some way of preventing this. It is mega digusting, there were all kinds of fish and birds playing in this.
Went to home depot to buy some stuff for the house and saw these new Disney rooms for kids that have the beds built into the walls.
Afterwards, we headed over to Target and they have a new series of slutty dog clothes. These clothes are really for dogs. I think it would be great if they had matching owner outfits.
I finally drank some ultra expensive fiji water. I would have the say it was the purest scam I ever experienced. I drank it and desani and the same time, and it tasted no different. They both have the same plastic aftertaste. I relaly think if it is "so" pure it should come in glass instead of plastic.
Pineapple plants are smaller than I expected.
EVerythign that look sfancy at Home Depot is made out of plastic. They even had plastic chandelliers. My thoughts on this is if you need a plastic one, maybe you don't need one.
Mike and I went out to get some electronic hookups for our old fashioned audio recording device. We are transcoding hundred of hours of audio from our family. I will post it to the web when I get it done.
It was pouring out, glad I missed the parkside garden walk.

The men's and women's showers are for slip holders - the marina gives out key cards to them.

haha besides forgetting new Ireland I love that like there is new germany, new italy etc, and then new africa. As if Africa (a continent) is the same as italy (a country). Why isn't there like a new Kenya, new South Africa etc. or just a new Europe. funny..

Drinking and DrivingCategory: trash
I decided to clean the car out today in preparation of the upcomming move to the mansion and found so many bottles of drink in the car. No, non eof them are alcoholic ones but still. I think I have a problem - I need to start just buying larger sizes. Too bad every vending machine and cafeteria only has the tiny size.
My arms are getting bigger. I am deciding to concentrate of them for a while. I wish they would look like this when I am not flexing.
Okay, back to cleaning.

3. Finally went the doctors and and going to get my problems resolved after 5 years of dealing with pain.
4. What is this kin d of bug, there were lot so of them outside yesterday.

Glad the house is offical now. In terms of that building I think it is verry cool. No idea why it hasn't been developed it looks like someone started and then stoped. That is also a tricky area. It is kinda on the outsirks of downtown and into the eastside. Hopefully those buldings will beocome something and the coblestone distract will grow as well. That one building is really cool. I think that would be an amazing window to look out of.

Yay about the house!
I don't know what the bugs are either. All bugs are evil...
Five years of pain?!? My word, i hope you can get some relief, finally. What the heck has been wrong all this time?

Congrats on the property purchase. Having a deadline pass is a good thing

First of all - I am absolutely beside myself that somebody would have a fucking kitty litter in the living room. That is beyond disgusting, psycho-unable-to-handle-real-life type of shit.
Sorry to hear about your situation with the house - common sense says that because a move-in date was mutually agreed upon that it MUST stand and they have to be out. The law and common sense don't necessarily go together unfortunately. I'm sure that things will turn out your way... I wouldn't worry too much.
Paul- My mother is a real estate agent. If you have any questions about where you legally stand, I can give you her number. Good luck!!
P.S. I hate cats too ;)
There is no contingency and she told me she could declare time is of the essence. I cannot ait until its over. She told me to try and work it out with him first before she has to take legal action.
Paul,
I hope your closing isn't contingent on his finding a place to move to. If it is, there isn't much you can do.
If your contract specifies "time is of the essence" and there are no other contingencies you can force a closing in about a week, if memory serves.
You need to talk to your lawyer, he or she should be able to tell you where you stand legally and what your legal options are.
I think Metalpeter is right...if both parties have agreed to a closing date, then the selling party (and all their stuff) is supposed to be OUT, regardless of their living situation...I know people who sold their old house and were having a new one built, got hit with last minute delays on the build and had to rent short-term for a couple of months. On the other hand, when the anger cools off a little, you might think about re-negotiating a later closing date, like a week or 10 days later...that way it's a little good faith on your part, and then the seller really has NO excuse at all for not getting all that shit out of there. Just an idea...
is there a penalty clause for bein late?
I'm not a lawyer but my understanding is that once a closing date is set that is it and they have to be out of the house. If there other place isn't ready to bad they have to be gone any ways and stay somewhare. It sounds crazzy I wish you the best of luck.
