The Key To Your 15 Minutes
Great news: The Weatherhuman found your keys! Weird, right? It’s like your 15 minutes of fame (sorry you had to waste it on this).

After spending one year in a Del Playa cesspool and another with 10 housemates on Sabado Tarde Road, I think it’s safe to say that I’m not accustomed to clean dishes or dealing with a concerned parent. At most, one of my roommates in Santa Barbara would raise an eyebrow and ask, “Where’s Todd?” if I’ve been MIA for more than 36 hours, before continuing on with their daily routine.
