who-am-i.jpg

I'm Lani. I live in Austin, Texas (jealous?). I am the New Media Director of Single Pointe Realty (and AgentGenius.com). I keep this blog as my personal take on the market, the business of Real Estate, and the agents that make up the profession from all over the nation. Because I am not a licensed agent- I write commentary from the unique perspective of part consumer, part insider. Oh, and I have a ridiculous affinity for cheese.

We're a unique real estate company that doesn't operate as a traditional brokerage. We bring new technology, modern buying & selling strategies to our clients- it's been my job to create a home buying & selling experience that is fun, fresh, & exciting for today's Austin real estate consumer.

Well, when I came home from school…

…my head started to get really hot. So I drank some cold water, but it didn’t do nothing. So I laid in the bathtub for a while, but then I realized that it was my hair that was making my head hot. So I went into my kitchen and I shaved it all off. I don’t want anyone to see.

Napoleon DynamiteIf you don’t understand the title of this post, you probably  haven’t watched Napoleon Dynamite 11.25 times like I have.  That said, Geek Estate Blog hosted this week’s Carnival of Real Estate.  I’m not sure why they think Napoleon Dynamite is a geek (especially since I relate to him, GOSH!), but they used him as the CoRE mascot this week to announce the winners. 

Perhaps since I relate to Napoleon Dynamite, I was named The Number Four Geek in All of Kazakstan the Blogiverse (I’ll give you link love if you can name this reference)!  The article that won this CoRE geek award is Dogs Don’t Know It’s Not Bacon, so read up and be sure to comment!

Special congratuations this week go to my husband for not only getting a Geek mention but for winning the whole dang carnival- way to Geek it up, Realtor Genius!

    The word “Blogiverse” was first used (to my knowledge) in comment #4 of this post on Sellsius:

    You got me- you get half credit.

    “Number Four Geek In All of…” is still up for the second half of the credit (which was actually the allusion I was going for- only the biggest of dorks will get that one).

    BTW- y’all need to read the link above in Jay’s comment and stop calling it the “blogosphere” or Jay might show up at your house with a shot up sale sign. I mean it.

    Lani is referencing last years cult hit, “Borat: Cultural Learnings Of America For Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan”

    In it Borat says,

    “My sister is the number four prostitute in all of Kazakhstan”

    As you can see Lani crosses off Kazakhstan and inserts blogiverse and substitutes geek for prostitute.

    Can I please get on your blog roll now?

    Thanks,
    Shailesh

    OF COURSE, Shailesh! Give me until the end of the week, it’s on the GTD list. YOU are the big winner- way to go!!!

    [...] Recently, I asked readers to name the movie quote I referenced… [...]

  8. Shailesh Ghimire Says:

    I guess that makes me a dork!

    Hey now, I promised you a spot on the Ultra Exclusive Blogroll… I’m just umm… busy. Plus, I have to ask my husband to do it for me so I can’t make a time promise.

    But if you’re saying you’re a dork for winning, then yes; you are a dork WITH me! :)

  10. Jay Thompson Says:

    Face it Shailesh…. you’re a dork!

    Hey Lani - if you install the “wp-Chunk” WP plugin, it’ll fix the problem of long links running into the sidebar (like in my comment above…)

  11. lani Says:

    So… me, Shailesh and now you- that’s THREE dorks in one thread! It’s getting nerdy in here!

    Thanks for the chunk plugin! It’s now on my GTD list!

  12. Shailesh Says:

    I get called nerdy - a lot - mostly by my wife - but very rarely called a dork. I guess with time you start to hear it all!

Enduring Bubble GumBubble Gum Inteviews

I've interviewed the elite in real estate- bubble gum style....

Bubble Gum Interview- Benn Rosales (My HUSBAND)!!!

A better question is do you think people who say smooth as a baby’s butt have ever changed a diaper? I mean seriously, why do we spend so much time dreaming of being younger or going back in time, or relating to childhood when we really should embrace the “now”. Looking backwards is so “life in reverse.”[…]

Bubble Gum with Kris Berg

Without giving too much away, it involved a party, a Tall Scotch & Water with a Twist (or ten), midnight munchies, a drive-thru window, assorted food products named “Jack” (Bonus, Breakfast), two Super Tacos, a large order of fries and a couple of regrettable hangovers. Steve is such a romantic![…]
