So we've signed the papers. The house is ours, pending a successful home inspection. I've put a call in and hopefully we'll have something scheduled by the end of the day.

Of course, Burt screwed us a bit by having the forms signed and dated on 7/25, and then not delivering them until 4:00 on 7/26. So we lost one of the five allotted business days to get the home inspection complete. Buuuuuuuurt! But Danielle has already drafted a letter to our lawyer so that he knows what happened, and he can file an extension if need be. I've got a call in to a guy to get the home inspection done ASAP, so we'll see what happens.

On the bright side, because Burt is such a slacker-ass jerkwad, he also didn't deliver the lead paint disclosures. So Danielle and her boss looked over things, and if all else fails that's our loophole out of the contract if we need it. I have to say, it's really great working with an agent whose boss specializes in real estate law, because she's totally got our back. Danielle is awesome.

So that's the latest. This is seriously the most backwards, complicated closing. Everything from here on out will be a breeze.

Best commute EVER!

Guess what I saw coming home from work tonight?

( Gotham takes over! )

They're filming all along Monroe tonight, down Wells (lighting rigs alongside the L between Quincy and Washington, so I'm guessing there will be more train stuff in this movie), and along Dearborn. According to the CTA website, "Downtown Streets Closed for Filming. Portions of LaSalle, Adams and Monroe will be closed to traffic due to filming. Fourteen CTA bus routes will undergo reroutes from 6:30 p.m. each night until 6 a.m. each morning from Thursday, July 26 until Sunday, July 29." aj, if you want to stalk the set, now you know where to go.

I know it's totally geeky of me, but I absolutely love the fact that they're doing so much location work in the city. And I saw a guy working on the electricity cables wearing a 3:10 to Yuma shirt, so it was like a fandom collision (Christian Bale & Alan Tudyk, yay!). But I digress... BATMAN!!!
