Best Picture and Direction given to a CopyCat movie?!

I was utterly disappointed and almost angry as I watched the Oscars last night. How can the academy give THAT piece of crap "adapted" movie (I'm calling it a movie, it ain't no film!) the best picture award? And best direction?

If you have yet watched the original (Infernal Affairs). Watch it and you will understand why I feel this way!

All that Drama

I didn't want to jinx anything so I didn't post updates about my sale until the last condition is waived. My agent called me about 2 hours ago to tell me there might be a problem w/ my unit's status, but it turned out it was the purchasing lawyer's mistake. *whew*!

It's SOLD! I had 5 offers on Tuesday night and 3 came in above my asking price. One of the offers had good price so I just signed on the dotted line.

Lots of snow Tues/Wed so things (Status Certificate and deposit delivery) were delayed by a day.

Closing is May 1st.

I also found an apartment in Kingston this weekend for May 1st. One bedroom basement apartment for $680, utilities included. It's a basement unit but has big windows and lots of light, so it doesn't feel like you're in a basement.
Plus my landlady is super sweet!
Thank you Serica for accompanying me on the day trip, was great to have a local guide!

Open House - Success or Bust?

As mentioned before, I was holding Open House this weekend. Prior to Saturdays' Open House, I had viewing appointments from 10am until 2pm. The last appointment prior to the Open House held my keys hostage until 3pm! That agent said he left his phone in the car and so no one could reach him to get him to return the keys. Saturday's session only ended up being 40 mins. But still, there were about 30 ppl that came through the door.

Yesterday's Open House was a little better. My agent's helper was late 30mins as he was getting a speeding ticket. Luckily, I was at home, so I was able to open doors for the 4 parties that came through during that time.

So far 5 more viewings today. Offers are going to be presented tomorrow night at 7pm. Wish me luck! I hope I don't have to do anymore showings after tomorrow night!

8 viewings in 1 day?!

Today's got to be the record breaking day.

Getting ready for sale is hard work.

Friday and Saturday was spent cleaning, packing and reorganizing the unit so my agent can provide suggestions for improvements. He came by Saturday afternoon to also provide me information on sales information in the surrounding area.

So my job now is to get the place ready Wednesday for pictures and sign the paperwork to get it listed. Next weekend is Open House! I still have a carload of bins to move out of the unit...good thing I can work from home. :)

Neil will be checking a place out tomorrow...I hope it works out because if it does, we can move his bins straight to his new place!
