Victory!
My loud Australian neighbor who talked on the phone (loudly) on the fire escape and talked about her Man Trouble (loudly) moved out! I just looked out my window and noticed her unit is empty. Success! Also, she was in big, big need of curtains. I don’t know if she didn’t realize or didn’t care that everyone on my side of the building could see her naked, but you know, not in a good way. Also, she is kind of a slob, but no judgment here. She is gone! I hope that my new neighbor does not suck it. I am kind of surrounded by sucking neighbors so one less is an improvement.
I am in a bit of a quandary. JoMo’s co-worker is moving out of his apartment and there is a chance I can take it. It’s pretty much the same size as mine, if maybe, a little bigger and more like a narrow rectangle as opposed to mine which is shaped like the state of Utah. It’s cheaper, which is good, but I wasn’t necessarily looking to move into a CHEAPER place, just a bigger/better place. The apartment is on 1st St and 2nd Ave which isn’t a bad neighborhood but I feel that I’m a little too old to be living in the East Village. There’s a lot of kids screaming like OH MY GOD BEEER YEAAAAH or CHICKS! YEAH! WOO HOO! At least my neighborhood now is quiet and empty at night. I’m not sure what to do. I hate this apartment but it looks like I’d be moving to another apartment that I’d hate too, it’d just be cheaper. Bleah. I mean I like my neighborhood better, I like living next to good friends, and being a few blocks from the Hudson, but you know, it’s a shoebox.
annie: re: victory. Is’nt it just amazing what sucky people will do when presented with a phony Australian Lottery jackpot winner certificate bearing their name. nice work!
annie: re: quandry. hold out for something bigger/better in the shape of Wisconsin. buy yourself new pair of shoes instead. those come in a shoebox too.
stay where you are. and yes, Aussies can be rowdy.
To all the Aussies out there:
aussie, aussie, aussie ! oi oi oi!
Yeah, i walk around naked in my apartment too - without the curtain. Hahaha!
Saw what you wrote about Heath Ledger.
You can go fuck yourself!!!!!!
HLRIP
I have lace demi-curtains to semi-obscure our semi-frequent nakednesses and oh yes, the lights are always on. We’re open day and night for your viewing pleasure.
NAKED! YEAH! WOO HOO!
annie: looks like you are solid with heath ledger devotee and exhibitionist demographic. can’t wait to see how you and Harper-Collins use that to shape your next release. TG you got health, friends, family, and air conditioning.
what about looking seriouslyu for a better, bigger apartment. I mean, I know it is really tiring to look for a place but at some point you’ll have to do it.
too old for east village…mmmmm that doesn’t sound good even if I’ve never been in NY
hold out for the right stuff, I say. it’s never good to jump out of the frying pan, into the flame.
I recently had a neighbor who’s BF would come over and beat the snot out of her, and smoke 3 packs a day. I heard EVERYTHING through the paper thin walls, and my apartment smelled like an ashtray. thankfully she skipped town and now we have a nice, quiet stoner dude next door.
“This week, on a very special seinfeld…”
Jon: Finally my plan worked. She just got her fake jumbo check from the fake Aussie sweepstakes. The sad truth is that I can probably put this apartment in a box.
Fly: Putting on a free show for your neighbors. I am sure my neighbors have seen me naked but I tried to use at least a little discretion.
Mathilda: You sound upset.
lilgerman: But how close are your neighbors? Also lacy demi curtains are still better than no curtains.
Jon: I know I have all the Heath fans on my side. The Tim Russert fans too for that matter.
Ms. B: Did you ever call the cops on them? My friends had to do that a lot to their neighbor and then the dude had them on their shitlist. Bad scene. Beating BF and GF eventually moved out (together).
Ramon: Bahm bahm bahm bahm
C’mon…Beer and chicks are exciting regardless of your age.
I had to go back and read what you wrote about Heath Ledger. Evidently, you should write about him more often so that people can track it down six months later and be upset.
JimBob: Yeah but I’m at the point where I like to get them myself as quietly as possible and not listen to people yell about them in the middle of the night.
RT: Yeah I just realized that is indeed the key to blogging. That will get you a ‘higher standing’ on Google. Lesson learned.
Called the cops half a dozen times. I also left her a flyer from the Advocacy Center and a note… who knows what became of her. She had a 4 year old boy over there, too, so add child abuse to the list… it was awful.
I found a picture of you playing handball! Just kidding, I thought it was a funny picture though. Maybe this will remind you of something though, like slamming a handball into the person who peed all over your hall… or at least wanting to. It makes me think of someone taking a ball to the nuts on a home video show, but I have no idea why.
Is it really “annie choi”? hahaha awesome.
You should come live in Phoenix. Phoenix has many fabulous martini places. And weird tiki bars that serve everything on sticks!
There are plenty of places to live. All new condos and apartments making downtown very hip. They all have about the same square footage as a stick of gum and charge mild rents like 950,000,000,000,000,000 a month. All for living downtown…where you have to drive an hour out of town to get near said martini, tiki and other bars as well as food, groceries, clothes, parking, auto parts, shoes, medical, roofing or hardware. So, if you are so rich you have to toss money into a shredder just to spend some, have no furniture, have the BMI of a chicklet and never need anything, Phoenix is the place for you!
P.S. It’s a dry heat
