Here! You happy?

Too bad Mandi, I updated it myself.







I apoligize for the Major delay. My internet sucks at my apartment, and I live with two asians. I'm not against asians or anything, but the smell has GOT to go. Each and every time I enter my apartment the musty fry-pan-rice-with-oils-and-sauces-that-have-no-english-on-the-bottle smell rushes into my nose like a flash flood of unpleasantness. Even after you have been in the apartment for a period of time you STILL NOTICE THE SMELL. Aren't you supposed to get used to it?? I even went to the store and bought some Lisol (is that how you spell it?) disinfectant bacteria smell killer and DESTROYED the kitchen with it... the next day the smell was back. I feel like Jerry Seinfeld in the B.O. episode- 'This BEAST.... it must be STOPPED!" Suggestions?

Everything else is swell. I am addicted to Lost, and I am enjoying the current addiction. I think it has really helped Tiffanie and I become closer.

It's Lysol.

You've got to accept the beast Zak. And enjoy the food.

That's FUNNY that LOST is bringing you closer.

I lived with an asian once. Wow. She was a great girl, but wow. You will not get used to the smell. You will start to smell like the smell. All of your clothes and your food will carry that pleasant aroma. Have fun. Good luck. Your apartment really doesn't smell that bad though, whatever you have been doing has helped.

Zak, the only way to avoid having bad roommates forever is to move out and get married. It worked for me.

AAH SO! Me rike da new brog!! It's about (dang) time, Zak.

I can SO relate. Paul's Chinese stepmom Jiana is always cookin' up suhin' swell. Their house always smells like fishy garlic oil nast and when you leave you smell like that too. It's grrross! I don't know what I'd do about that. The Lysol's a good start. Maybe you should put open boxes of baking soda all over the apartment to absorb the smell. Also, the Oust fan has worked wonders in our bathroom with the weird smell. Good luck with that. Keep us posted!!!

What else? Oh Lost. There's nothing like TV to improve a relationship. It's kept my marriage going strong for 12 years.

Maybe you should ask to move.

That is a sad story Zak - We have a new research guy who is oriental - I would say Chinese. He had the spicy scent of strong food. I've noticed it a few times. It's not too offensive, so hopefully your beautiful Zak smell can overcome the stink.

I can't stand that garlic fish stink. Did you know they think we smell like milk? I feel for you- I can smell EVERYTHING. Living with Jed just about does me in.

Lost is SOOOO good and addicting. Me and Jed just finished the 2nd season so now I can't wait for Oct.4.

Jeni said...

They think we smell like milk? That's so funny to hear that people from other countries think things like that about us. Zak, ask them if they think you smell like milk and if they say yes, you're even.

Hey, this reminds me a lot of my Asian step mom, Moxa. Bless her heart...she always smelled like moth balls. Hopefully your roommates will never see this...he ha

Man, I would be moving out for sure. Pretty soon you'll start smelling bad and we'll have to spray you down with 222 when you come over. Can't you choose who to live with? Not that I'm racist, but there is a definite odor concern. The beast must be overcome!

I enjoy Jiana's smell, because she overpowers my dad's smell. In the battle of my notrils.
