Why does it still say Orlando, FL at the end of each of my posts? I changed my location in my profile. I'm missing something :/

JunoCategory: movies
Went to see Juno last night at the Regal on Elmwood. Great movie. Jason Bateman did a fantastic job in his role...everyone did actually. Lots of dry humor. Highly recommended.

hopefully it won't take that long, the house is vacant. The owner was relocated due to her job. Inspection is scheduled for Saturday, appointment with the mortgage broker is scheduled on Wednesday. My apartment lease ends on May 1, so I'm hoping to close in April, ideally. We'll see!

Thats awesome - congratulations. Although for use the time from offer accepted to actually getting possession of the property was like 5 months - so be prepared.

I live in N. Buffalo, too. Maybe Paul's (e:hertelstrip) is not such a bad idea.
I've been looking into buying a house, and I have the same exact fears/nightmares. The one thing that makes me feel a bit better is that one should also fear giving half one's paycheck to a landlord and never getting any ownership of anything. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

yeah it's definitely also scary as hell. I literally keep having dreams of not being able to make the payments, dropping out of school, losing my job, and becoming a bum. :/

Congrats! It is exciting to go and call the landlord to fix something only to realize you got to it, which makes it even more satisfying.

VolunteerismCurious if anyone here volunteers in some capacity, and what they do? Looking for something that might be a good fit.

Maybe you would like do something with PUSH? That would help people get into homes. Or, the West Side Community Collaborative could get you a gardening/landscaping project that would make a huge difference on the West side with minimal human interaction. If you ask at urban roots they can set you up.

well I'm supposed to do something that shows I have empathy for others. But of course I really don't :)
Don't deal well with kids or old people so I don't know. What I would LIKE to do is something that benefits the city you know? Like the event Losman held or Brush Up Buffalo I think it's called etc.

Bandits are Back in Blackthink of it as a wheel of fortune before and after clue.
so the Bandits season is back on!! Looks like the players union thought the league wouldn't really cancel the season so they have now reached a deal. God I hate unions. On a sidenote went to see Lewis Black at Shea's last night with the girlfriend and a couple friends. Good times. Also ate at City Grill on Main, excellent place I really never heard about.

Lewis Black was pretty funny last night (even though I was very tired) I also thought the first guy was pretty good to. On Thursday I heard that a a deal might get worked out but couldn't find anything on line I'm glad both sides got an agreement done. I can't wait to find out what the new game dates are. Then hopefully I'll be getting stuff soon about my tickets. "Lets go Bandits" . I think that having a season this year was really important not having one would have hurt the league more then anyone would think it would. I used to have season tickets a long time ago and then didn't go for a couple years and now have a season ticket again. Since I'm right on the glass I don't see myself giving up my seat any time soon now. I do have pictures I've taken at the games on some of by blogs if you haven't seen them.
