The Devil is in the Details

I can't believe March is almost over. It really feels like the month just began. I thought it'd been a long time since I'd written anything only to discover I put a post last week. For some reason I thought it had been much longer than that. Memories feel like that to me sometimes, like they just happened the other day and at the same time feel distant.

Over the last few months I've been in the process of buying a home. The whole thing has been exciting in the sense that owning property is a huge step (oh and that sweeeet $8k tax credit) and tedious in the "what the hell is that fee, and i don't care about these options, just give me the damn thing already" sense. But with the subprime crisis I have to stay alert. A lot of intelligent people got screwed by bad mortgages because they didn't understand them. Gotta stay on top of that stuff. The house has to be built and I can't close until it's finished, so this gives me time to research and make sure I know my stuff.

Around the same time the house closes I'll be taking another trip to Disney World with MacBoy. I hadn't planned on going again, given the many other, non-corporate parts of the world I haven't seen, but MacBoy scored a pretty good deal. MacBoy is crazy obssessed with Disney World, to the point of actually listening to podcasts about the place. I kinda feel like I'm enabling a drug addict.

At least MacBoy is happy to handle all the arrangements of the trip. He's planned reservations for dinner, flight tickets, transportation, and has set up a tentative schedule for all 7 days of the trip. I just pay my half and enjoy the ride.
