Random Thoughts
2012, A Shared Space Odyssey
Our housemate of two years moved out last night. A new housemate will arrive during the upcoming month (her stuff in January, she in February.) Since moving back to L.A., Paul and I have been lucky with our housemates–they have been responsible and reliable and entertaining.
