He'll soon stop snoring after he wakes up several times gasping for air, with a plastic bag tied around his head.
When he comes storming into the kitchen, threatening police and lawyers, open you eyes as wide as they can go and smile questioningly at him, looking blankly at the stop & shop grocery bag clutched in his hand.

Yep, true, that always works. I do that when my girlfriend ignores me too.
<snort> Heeven! You're precious. I didn't think anything could make me laugh tonight.
Nimh - you have a girlfriend!?! When'd that happen? <have you heard from Dag lately?>
No, it was a generic thing. Like when saying, "I always pretend to be asleep when my boss finds me looking at midget porn" - not necessarily this boss, just, you know - generically.
(It was supposed to make you laugh as well.)
It would have on a normal night, but tonight is heavy.
Uh oh. Loud snoring may certainly be an issue. Alas, sharing a room here witth a colleague, I wake up when she just changes her breathing. I guess we'll see, what can we do.
I'll be coming home 5 days later (on 20th September), because of another training i'm helping lead,hopefully he'll get quiter...errr. or something.
chatty is also an issue, but i have no problem with getting impatient and walking off when i need to, so that doesn't worry me. just noise. looks like an earplugs year. or i'll blast music all night. gotta go train 120 students now. 2 of us for 120 of them. Interactive training based on a lot of work in small groups. Insane undertaking, but we're doing really well i think. gah.
Phew, thanks for checking Dag - the snoring has been much better.
Is she gone already? Dag......? I had hoped you'd checked into the Baby dog thread.
<I heard HM#3 coming and bolted for my bedroom where I'll be hinding for a while. He has been warned.>
Still talks too much. Everything is better in europe and even australia. America is bad, nkay? Our electrical system is inneficient. Our dishawasher and washing machines are wasteful. Our portions are too big, our bread is too sweet. The one who had never used a dishwasher started telling me how to load it. I can't beleive how many times in a day that he says It's better in europe...... I don't espouse that american is/has/does the finest of all things, but come on! If you found yourself repeating yourself all the time wouldn't a little yellow flag go up? I am surprised to see that I find it incredibly rude.
He went off to wander boston today - good! Until he came back and told me (ME!) all about the north end. Hello! Been there a million times! Do I want a menu of your favorite adlaide restaurant? Nope! What good will it do me? Argh!
It's a good thing he's a decent sort. He is good and well-intended. And he did make a great (if outrageously rich) risotto tonight. The problem is that he will expect me to reciprocate. I wonder if I can tell him to go in the other room while I make the risotto........ otherwise he will tell me what I am doing wrong every step of the way. sigh.
Ok, really, he's ok. Just had to vent a little.
<breathing becomes rapid again>
And another thing! He wants to start a petty cash pot for household goods so that the paying for such things doesn't fall to heavily on one housemate. Well, we sort of just divy up the receipts when we get home. But, wouldn't it be better to have a pot? Nope. But, wouldn't it be better to have a pot? Nope (ad nauseum). Finally: look, I will be the one buying most of the household goods as I am used to doing and because I have the car, right? I prefer to just divy up the receipts when I get home. We'd have to do that whether there was a pot or not, so a pot just adds an extra step. You can pitch in monthly if you want. Dag and I usually just kind of wing it and we're cool with that. But, wouldn't it be better to have a pot? Grrrr......
Tell him Americans aren't good listeners either, and you'd appreciate it if he'd shut the hell up.
Has he started working yet?
And he's new to Boston, right?
I'm hoping that the answer to the first is "no" and the second is "yes" -- in that case I'd say it's highly likely that once he starts working he'll be both out of your hair while working and that he'll meet more people to bother... er, hang out with.
No and yes, it is. I am hoping the same. Plus dasha will be back in a couple of weeks.
Once she's back, you can start adapting your new favorite phrase: "That's interesting. You gotta tell Dasha that one! DASHA! KITCHEN! NOW!"
I just saw into our old apartment. Wait until Dag gets an eyefull of their wall colors!
I'm wondering if I should run the dishwasher?
Is it full?
The bottom is but the top isn't
So, I'd wait then
<clatter, clink,rattle>
Yeah, there's room for one or two more pieces, so I'll just leave it.
<returns to room, runs out with one mug>
<bang,tinker>
Yeah, it's pretty much full now.
<returns to room without starting dishwasher>
Brought to you REAL TIME, folks.....
Why the running commentary?
