those who can't, teach

it's been 5 days since i suggested piggy-roommie (see previous post) bathe, and i gotta tell him again but don't want to. friend says i should make him a chart.

piggy-roommie

it's a long story, but recently i got a roommate who is 22, sweaty/smelly, moved from his parents' house, doesn't own a car, doesn't have a job, leaves in his wake a weird trail of debris/grime, lives on hot dogs and chicken legs (he cut out red meat) and spends every day--all day--watching tv, belting out christian rock tunes and sitting in front of his computer, chanting OH YEAH! OH YEAH! to preachers on youtube (at first i thought he was masturbating). in the beginning i thought, 'oh, piggy's just young and needs direction' (btw, piggy wants to be a life coach), but now all i can think is, 'please don't do dat.'

garbage night

mebbe i've been too solitary lately, because the other night when i took the garbage to the curb and saw none other out there i felt bad and decided to wait until later so my garbage wouldn't feel awkward and lonely.

wild advice

money expert valerie coleman morris was on cnn today to advise us in these dark times. she said to 'spend wisely and save wildly.' the 'spend wisely' part i get, but dunno what 'save wildly' might mean except this.

pig roast

i don't like to see meat this way.

so when i recently went to a pig roast i decided to pretend to not see pig, like i did in ny with homeless people,

so not to ruin my vision of where bacon comes from.

me not japanese

i stopped at the grocery store after picking up friends at the airport and was accosted by a woman who acted like she knew me but really only wanted to discuss japan.
