Desktop Meme 2: Electric Boogaloo

The irony of course, is that my work computer is a Macbook (non-pro), with a 13.3" screen. Quite different from the 2 23" Cinema Displays I have hooked up to the G5 tower at the house.

Double irony: The Macbook is *faster* than the G5 dual at home (for most things).

Making the Jump in 2008

As hinted in Thor's post (too lazy to link), I'm looking for condos. So far, Brooklyn seems to be "it", over Manhattan proper, simply because I don't feel the need to spend over $1.2M to get a shoebox. I'll do the boroughs, but no NJ. Must be subway accessible.

I'm looking at a few places, but there is so much I *don't* know, I thought I'd enlist the help of the LJverse.

The Oro http://www.orocondos.com/
The Argyle http://www.ArgyleParkSlope.com/

I'm looking at Modern Contemporary places.

Needs
* over 500sqft.
* At least 1 real bedroom. (No lofts)
* A full bath that can actually fit a normal human.
* "real" appliances (not the micro versions usually found in NYC flats).

Wants
* W/D In-unit
* Dishwasher
* big windows
* little to no noise heard from outdoors (no single-glazed Murray Hill condos, please ;-) )

Don't Cares
* "gyms"/pools
* Doorman


Does anyone know any coolie MoCo condos going from 500-750k?
Anyone know any coolie MoCo condo NYC/Boroughs blogs?

Pointers, advice, tips, hints, et al very welcome.

Thanks!

Prom Dresses!

Dayum!

I had to catch the replay, so I still don't know who won. I don't mind spoilers, so reply away.

Christian's attitude really sucks. Talk about self-defeatist. I understand his "model" is a bit crazy, but c'mon. If you're gonna call yourself "fierce", *BE* fierce, *especially* when there is shit kicked in your face.

I like Chris' dress, hate Victorya's, although I am not sure if I hate it because she's a passive-aggressive bitch, or if the dress is really bad. I just don't know anymore.

I totally called Sweet P's Catholic School upbringing =)

What were your impressions?
