We’re not out of the woods yet. I’ve been trying so hard to stay positive but this last week has threatened to push me right over the edge. The unraveling began last Monday with bad news from my credit union. To keep the short sale alive I had to agree to a repayment plan with them (on top of my repayment plan with TCF). But now I’m waiting for yet more paperwork so we can proceed. And the closing is tentatively scheduled for the Friday before Christmas - less than two weeks away! And I’ve still got to do a final cleaning up at the house. We are cutting it close here, people.
Five non-stressful more interesting things:
- ‘Witch’s cottage’ unearthed near Pendle Hill, Lancashire - Engineers have said they were “stunned” to unearth a 17th Century cottage, complete with a cat skeleton, during a construction project in Lancashire.
- Grinderman are over? Announcement in Australia. But maybe it’s only because there’s a new Dirty Three release coming out.
- Entertainments collide. I still haven’t seen Tucker and Dale vs Evil (soon) but over the weekend I started watching the CW series Reaper, featuring the actor who played Dale. And of course the actor who played Tucker was Wash in Joss Whedon’s Firefly. And I recently watched the trailer for Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard’s “Cabin in the Woods” - it’s all connected!
- Fantastically creepy photos from Miwa Yanagi.
- Also spooky but somewhat closer to home, the Dixie Ghostbusters - “Twisted Dixie, a team of paranormal investigators — or, to use their less preferred term, ghostbusters.”
There have been some good times in the last week. Saw Wilco with Nick Lowe. Attended the Social Science Masquerade at the Science Museum. Friday night we had another Clockwork game night where my son played ping pong and entertained himself with a lego game set (alas he didn’t have the concentration required for Kids Dungeon Adventure, a kid-style D&D game whose tagline is: “You bring the dungeon, we’ll bring the monsters.“) Yesterday the boy and I saw Aardman’s Arthur Christmas which wasn’t half bad. And we walked there from our new place. It’s wonderful to live within walking distance of a movie theater again.
