Words that just don't go together

gerisullivanSuperHero Cthulu Plush. I now own one. I may end up packing in my luggage for my unexpected second trip east this month, since the house is still being shown and I certainly can't leave it on display here. The braided hemp dragon I picked up at the Renaissance Festival last month is weird, but arty-looking enough to have out. SuperHero Cthulu as a stuffed creature isn't at all arty. It's just utterly bizarre.
It's far from the only bizarre thing in my life these days. I'm seriously contemplating making an offer on a house that has no basement, and no inside storage space to speak of. There's a decent amount of outside storage; the 2-car garage is distinctly over-sized. I've figured out how to turn one of the inside rooms into a storage area, though even that is a kludge, and one I'm not sure will work in the long run. It's just that I want the rest of the house, and its location. I want to live there, work there, and entertain there whenever that works out. Even without a basement. Utterly weird.
The good news is that I'm looking at other houses tomorrow. Maybe one of those will have its own set of heart-tugging features as well as enough practicalities to make it worth considering.
Mine still hasn't sold, so all house-hunting remains solidly in the arena of anticipation rather than actuality. And that's the report du jour from Toad Hall.

Date: 2003-10-17 04:46 pm (UTC)Today I saw Belchertown, MA, which is a little northeast of Springfield rather than a little southwest. It's also very nice, and somewhat more convenient to Boston without being horribly less convenient to New York. I like both Ware and Belchertown.
I think we're talking about 3 hours from you -- more during busy traffic times.
