Watching the returns

Barack watched election results from the Indiana and North Carolina primaries on Tuesday night. CNN called it kind of early, but he stuck around and watched for a while...

Prepping for another primary

Barack has been doing a lot of work to get ready for Tuesday's primaries in Indiana and North Carolina. Personally, I'm quite impressed that he's holding up as well as he is. Even when he takes a moment out of his day to rest, he still seems to be keeping busy. Here's a picture of him hanging out on the couch and reading the newspaper over my shoulder. Now I know how he keeps up so well with current events.

He cooks too!

While the rest of us went out for dinner on Saturday, Barack stayed in and made some home-cooked food.  Not sure what it was exactly that he made.

Big Help

Barack took the trash out for us the other day. He's only been around a few days, and already he's pulling his weight and pitching-in around the apartment.

Moving In

The moving van couldn't find our place right away, but Barack was able to move his stuff in finally. Normally, I'm not one to complain, but he has a ton of stuff. And we really don't need another George Foreman Grill...

Whatever, not a big deal. He moved everything in pretty quickly, so the mess wasn't an issue.

A Knock At The Door

Like I said yesterday, our new sublettor, Barack just arrived.

It turns out he's a petty formal guy.

No April Fools

It was a little hard to believe at first. I mean, when I heard that Barack was going to be subletting effective immediately, I just assumed it was an April Fool's joke. Here’s the email I got yesterday, on April 1st.


Hey guys,
It turns out my project in Tokyo’s going to take a little while longer and I’ll be here for at least another 3 months. In the meantime, I think it makes some financial sense to sublet my room. I hope everyone’s OK with that. I’ve found someone on Craig’s List who needs a place right away. He’s a good guy. His name’s Barack. He’s from Illinois. He’ll be moving in sometime today or tomorrow depending on his schedule (he’s been pretty busy lately).

Thanks,
Dan

p.s. I’m serious.


As I said, this obviously seemed like a joke. And then later that afternoon, Barack just showed up. I was blown away, to say the least. I'll post some pics tomorrow.
