Recap: Housesitting

Staying in someone else's house and sleeping in their bed when they are not there is kind of weird. By the end of the ordeal, the place was beginning to feel like it was mine. Maybe that is what freedom tastes like.

I made sure to leave the house as close as possible to that way I found it. Apparently I did a really good job since I was questioned whether or not I actually stayed there for the week. The only evidence was a few hairs on a pillow, soda I left in the fridge and a towel in the shower.

The only night I played Wii was Friday night when a girl from work came over for a little while since she had never played before. She beat me. After that we got to talking about work and each other and things did not end smoothly but nothing that could not be mended by a phone call to her as she was driving down the street away from the house. Details of this exchange and subsequent ones are fodder for another day.

I spent most of the week letting the dog in and out of the house every 2o minutes and watching Japanese games shows. I also watched the new HULK movie from the comfort of the couch.

I may get the house again for a few days in August.

Housesitting

I will be housesititng for my supervisor until sometime next Tuesday. Well really it is dog sitting but his house comes with the package. He is leaving the country so who knows what could happen. This means I can play all growed up and be man of the house. I will refrain from trashing the place, calling in strippers and doing anything that invovles "stunts". It could be ungodly boring or might be a nice get away from my current abode. My goal will be to track down the kick ass chinese food that is near his house and play his Wii like I do't have one myself.
