This is what I wrote on the metro tonight:

Dear internet,

I hate my roommate. My commute is making me insane. And if Geico's rate quotes are a suitable guide, I am not buying a car in 2008. If you know someone renting a room in a metro-accessible location between Van Ness and Shady Grove, see me. If I can't walk to the metro in 20 minutes or less, please don't waste your time or mine.

I got home at 9 PM to a bathroom my roommate said he'd clean the weekend before last, the kitchen (needs mopping),the overhead fan my roommate left on in his disgusting room (clearly audible in mine), and saw a fat cockroach in my bedroom.

The failboat has sailed. This weekend I start packing. It's probably unrealistic to think I can be out by June 1st, but I will be moving before July.

I can probably help with the packing.

I don't have any particularly helpful leads on rooms for rent, but if you're not already checking the Washington Post online listings, I would recommend doing so. They are often more extensive that the print version.

I'd checked craigslist but not the Post online lists - thanks!

I've only got a small kitchen, half a living room, and a very messy bedroom to pack, but I'll be aggressively recruiting for loading/unloading assistance. (Friends, neighbors - no stone left unturned.)
