I'm free at last

Roommates number 53 (Nayo, annoying cow) and 54 (Gil the Indian/Nigerian/Alabamian) are out of the house, and little brother Steve has returned from the way beyond and is happily catching up on the PS2 games he missed whilst crashing on my couch.

As a slumlord, I had my own personal rules that I abided by. I never entered Nayo or Gil's room unless absolutely necessary. Like the time that a wide trail of ants was passing all the way through the back door, the laundry room and the kitchen into Gil's room. I had to pop my head in to see if he'd left any dead animals lying about.

So yesterday was my first time seeing the inside of Nayo's room in almost a year.

Oh my G*d.

It is going to take all the illegal immigrants in the county working round the clock get that room clean again.

Seriously. What type of person would leave used condoms under a bed?

Still, I'm just glad they're gone. At the end, they were both working nights and sleeping all day (him as a software engineer, her partying all night doing coke of Suge Knight's back), and I got pretty tired of sneaking around all day trying not to make noise.

And once Steve has found a place to stay I can get back to doing what all good bachelors should do: sitting around in my underwear, drinking beer and watching wrestling.

Charity begins at home

It is fairly common for people to come to my door and ask for money. I don't really have a policy about who I help and who I don't. It is just how I feel.

Two days ago, a woman came by and asked for money for the train. I gave her a couple of bucks, even though I know that there isn't a train anywhere near here. Today a guy came by asking to borrow money to buy (of all things) Anbesol. I turned him down, because he comes by too often, and always after dark, which I find a little bit creepy.

Biked 18 miles.

Steve's personal effects arrived by post today. I guess he really will be coming home.

This week I've been serious about my 12 goals. Yesterday, I biked 18 miles. Today I walked 8 miles.

Tomorrow, I bike again.

I'm feeling pretty unfit.
