“It’s an obvious thing to say, but sometimes it’s the only thing to say. Finally, my house and I made peace. I quit picking at it, and it quit sprouting leaks and emitting strange buzzing noises. That is to say, I paid people to fix the leaks and stop the buzzing noises and finally got busy with other things. My days, dull as ever, were at least not sacrificed to catatonia. I went to my temp job at the diet food company, I went to yoga, I went home and did not watch Trading Spaces or House Hunte...rs or Design on a Dime but read the newspaper—and sometimes actual books—instead. Eventually, I began writing occasional arts and entertainment articles for the Los Angeles Times (admittedly, one was about a design show called Monster House), and when presented with the opportunity to try out for a position as a weekly columnist on the opinion page, I stayed up late at night after the temp job and wrote as if my life depended on it. Actually, it was my house that depended on it. The mortgage payment was $2,054 per month.MoreLessRead More Read Less
