Housemates

Since Renaud has become kind of a character in the blog, a few people have asked for a picture of him. Here he is on his way to the grocery. I snapped this one while leaning out my bedroom window. He doesn't know I took it, or he'd be furious.

And then here's a link to a video of his stunts. Disclaimer--the ending shot is a little gruesome.

The other night when Elyse and I had just gotten back from dinner, he came limping into our room, and at first we just thought he was being silly because he often acts pitiful and curls up on our extra bed to spill his love woes, but then Elyse noticed his face was swollen and bleeding. He was pretty banged up and is still limping but currently planning to participate in a show next weekend. We offered him much sympathy, and I gave him some hydrogen peroxide, which he'd never seen or used before. I told him at least his lip wasn't nearly as messed up as it is in that video, and that did cheer him up a bit.

Robert still isn't here! He had booked a flight for last Wednesday, hoping he'd get his visa in time, but he hasn't arrived. Maybe it will just always be the three of us in this five-person house.

We've seen a bit more of Kevin lately, mostly today, and he even came to our breakfast for dinner party tonight. He's actually really funny and nice when he is around. My favorite thing about him is that seriously 3 of the maybe 5 times he's been in the house, he's been playing "Praise You Like I Should." I don't know if that's the actual title of the song or not, but it should be.
