I love the "uncoordinated tap-dancing sumo wrestlers" description. Also the "Kangaroos on pogo sticks." And "unless you're collecting the money for the bills...." And, the rest of the post.
Baically.
I would like to point out that while there are no dead mice currently, there is always the promise that they will come back. And if you are lucky, there are sometimes even dead birds. This could be a real selling point to some biology major. Don't shortchange all the perks of the apartment.
Thanks, Dad.
That's a very good point about the possibilities for scientific research. I'll tell to Todd to include that on the advertisement if he ever decides to advertise the vacancy.
CINDY, WHY HAVEN'T YOU WRITTEN ANY MORE BLOGS? WE'RE ALL TIRED OF THIS ONE!!!! WRITE SOMETHING ELSE!!! HAVE A NICE DAY! :)
bollywood stole my cindy from me
Oh Adam, you make me laugh. You can always visit if you want to hang out. :) I wouldn't even necessarily make you watch a Bollywood movie with me, although I would definitely suggest it.
Rosie, you make me laugh too. We'll see if your happy little note will be any more successful than my roommate's usually are. I'm only a pushover if no one is pushing me, as you well know.
