- New releases: Smart Bitches (romance), Book Riot (YA, queer YA romance, queer, best out in October)
- Linkity from Smart Bitches.
- Linkity from BookWyrmKnits.
- BookWyrmKnits also has some quotes from banned books, because it is Banned Books Week!
- Go turn off tracking IDs on your iPhone, iPad, and Android devices.
- Pumpkin mug cake.
- Very nice MCM, although I can see some places the floors need work. I would have to replace the green laminate counters, but as a collage artist, the set of old Britannicas would be a bonus!
- A fun Victorian.
- Disconcerting exterior but I like the interior.
- Charming.
- Spaceship style MCM. Maybe we’ve seen it before. Maybe we haven’t. I certainly don’t remember!
- The interior is definitely better than the exterior.
- Weird unfinished one in Utah. It includes an underground Western town with a shooting gallery and an underground race track.
- Included just for the dizzying effects of the bath tile.
- Have we seen this one before? I’m not a fan of the “peeling paint” tile.
- Shopping mall vibes.
- WTH Victorian “restoration”.
- Hmm. Their conversion vision was… odd.
- The House of Sin.
- You could own an incomplete disaster of a house.
- Just say no to glass stairs.
- These look extremely annoying.
- Jeepers.
- *sigh*

Nice first MCM, and the two Victorians are just lovely. (The last Victorian has been disqualified from ever identifying as a Victorian.)
Oh, another Quonset Hut house! (And of course, you can buy Quonset Hut House Kits from… where else… Utah!) Utah Quonset Hut Kits.
Oh yeah, that crazy one in Utah. I’ve seen it before. Maybe here? The even crazier thing is that it has a pending sale. Must be for yet another polygamist compound.
I do not like houses with lots of weird angles.
Now, don’t get me wrong. I love animals! I really do! But, just think – If the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals hadn’t grabbed up the SPCA acronym, we might have had a Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Architecture-that-should-be-left-as-it-is. Or Abodes-that-are-made-unabideable. Or Angles-that-don’t-want-to-be-used-for-walls-in-homes. Or All-that-glitz-and-kitsch-and-crap-that-should-have-been-spread-out-over-100-sq-miles-instead-of-dropped-into-one-house.
I will now climb down off of my soapbox, open it, extract from it a gallon of bleach, and try to scrub some of these images out of my eyes.
