Telekenisis and Home Decor

My brothers have been annoying me dreadfully these past weeks. Brother X has attempted to cook himself fries on four seperate occasions in the last number of days, and has apparently decided that removal from the oven is not a key component of the process. This naturally prevents any actual consumption of said fries from taking place. Which leads one to the belief that Brother X is in the remarkable situation of having a specialized variety of hunger which is satisfied in some metaphysical way merely through the inaugeration of some cooking process. Perhaps the act of placing the sacrifical fries in the oven negates the humbler needs of the body and thus renders the fries themselves superfluous. It is a mystery.

In other news which cannot interest you, yet is preying on my mind, Brother X has developed a special method of cleaning both his room, and the bathroom - which sadly, we must share. This marvellous technique involves hurling all his filthiest socks (and these achieve a truely fantastic level of putrescence) into the hall. Somehow, the removal of these offending objects assuages any guilt he might be feeling over the state of said rooms and establishes him impervious to any action or expostulation that might necesitate further action.

He is also attempting to perfect a method by which the laundry would collect itself from the washing line/ kitchen floor/ deck chairs by means of telekenetic manipulation. He is experiencing a marked and lamentable lack of success with this new procedure. However, you will be glad to know that he is coping remarkably well with this continuing failure, and, with a great deal of personal suffering I am sure, has gone so far as to feign that he is not acutely aware of this shortcoming.

Brother X has developed a new interest in home decor of late. His preference is for casual rustication. The execution of this look primarily involves leaving empty, partially consumed, or opened-and-forgotten beer bottles around the house in places that were previously lacking that special something whichs adds a 'lived-in' quality to the area. The bathroom apparently needs a lot of attention.

Upon writing, I find that it is only Brother X that is annoying me. Brother Y is rather pleasant really.

Heehee! I wish I could feel worse about your obviously bad situation with an inconsiderate brother, but it is hard when you write about it so hilariously.

I agree with bento, I'm torn between laughing out loud, and wishing for the Great Hammer of Awareness to come down on Brother X.
