well, after three week's of staying with us, my roommate's 16 year old brother has gone back to california. to be honest, when my roommate mentioned that his brother would be visiting, i assumed it was for the weekend. my roommate finally mentioned the next week that his brother would be staying for THREE WEEKS.

to be honest, i'd trade in the 27 year old roommate that i have for the 16 year old one. at least the 16 year old cleans up after himself in the kitchen and washes dishes and tries to keep things somewhat neat in common areas.

my roommate proposed this morning that he's thinking of hiring someone (i.e. a maid) to come in once a month and clean the apartment. and i'm thinking, wtf? i've been cleaning the apartment by myself for the last six months and he wants to hire someone now??? seriously i don't even mind cleaning the apartment, but he can't even wash a few dishes? and he leaves dirty dishes in his room. i know this because my favorite glass is missing, so i can only assume he a) used it and it's sitting there with dried milk on the bottom of the glass (ugh) or b) he broke it and won't tell me.

i wish i could afford to live by myself. this is just yet one of the many reasons i think about leaving nyc all the time.
