Really? Did she really buy this place? I prefer her place in Beverly Hills… Don’t you?

Have a great weekend, my friend!

I just showed my kids Home Alone for the first time. I love that house; what a classic. Too bad it’s in Chicago.

that family room in tori & dean’s home just makes me happy–i could look at it all day. on the other hand, the house of dolls makes me want to run and hide. i don’t know what’s worse there, the dolls or the pink carpet.

julie, thank you so very much for posting a reminder about last week’s tornado disaster in the southeast with the link to the red cross. you are helping so many people who have nothing. you are great!!!

“Are men less handy than they were 40 years ago?”

Ummm, yes. No one changes their own oil anymore, because getting rid of it is a huge hassle. And it’s cheap to go to Jiffy Lube. Appliances – especially small electrics – are throw-away quality that usually can’t be repaired by a handy guy at home anyway. And I think most men now would rather spend quality time (and their limited free time, since no one works 9-5 anymore) with their wives and kids (or husbands and kids!) and pay someone to do repairs that are messy and time-consuming.

This is, of course, just MHO. I’m about as handy as my Dad, but neither of us is as handy as my grandfathers are/were. It’s kind of sad really. I take great pleasure in fixing stuff, but I find I can do less and less of it.

Also, the term “techno-sexual” in the linked article is awesome. I’m using that one from now on.

The zombie proof house just cracked me up!!!

Great links! I do not like Jennifer Aniston’s penthouse. Looks like a guy would love there, not a girl.

Do those people really believe in zombies? That’s crazy and that house is really ugly. Jennifer Aniston’s penthouse looks nice now, after viewing that box.

That zombie proof house is a trip! It’s like an entire compound, and it’s not entirely without aesthetic and curb appeal. I’m kind of impressed. I like Jen’s new NYC house, but I hope she adds more bathrooms and bedrooms! Have a great weekend Julia! :)

I want the Home Alone house. Anyone have $2.35 million they can lend me? Haha.

Zombie-Proof house – the designers must not have read Max Brooks’ World War Z; with a house like that, it isn’t the zombies you have to worry about but the other people who are trying to find safety too.
Also, what power source are the door and windows using? What happens if you run out of fuel during the zombie apocalypse? Are you trapped in a tightly sealed concrete tomb munching on the last of the stale saltines and drinking toilet water?

Loft envy, or better said, serious terrace envy. Love the West Village and these views! I think it’s the perfect size if I were single. It would just need to be “warmed up” a bit for my tastes, but otherwise it looks pretty fun and much more suited to her than that huge bachelor-style mansion she lived in before.

The designer of that zombie-proof house might have played too much Plants vs. Zombies! :D

There’s a house in our neighborhood that reminds me a little of the Home Alone house – at least from the outside.

The zombie-proof house is amazing! With my luck, one of the folding panels would get stuck and the zombies would be able to crash through the glass and get in … LOL

It rather makes me irritated at our culture which gives millions upon millions to actors and actresses while people like teachers and those that care for children are never paid well enough. Seeing how Jen buys 2 apts. instead of one and how they live their lives makes me not even want to look at what new little toy they’ve bought.

Thanks for the link. I also blog about uosnhcoling, literature. and a bit of history — but then, that’s all in the family, too. : ) Thanks again!

Jennifers new apartment is beautiful, except for that bear skin rug. I pray it’s not real.
