justice!
crazy barbequing neighbor was arrested this week for vandalizing the lobby. apparently he had been doodling in a black crayon-looking substance on the walls by the mailboxes. frank the super reviewed the security tape and had him arrested. julia, the very old, hard of hearing lady across the hall was very excited, because he broke into her apartment and stole $3,000 and all her jewelry recently. good times!
my sister and her doctor boyfriend are visiting this weekend from florida. we want to take them to shopsin's for brunch, and we have a reservation at kittichai one night for dinner. i don't know what else to do with them. shopping surely. and walking, i guess. i want to take them on a mini walking tour of the brooklyn neighborhoods we might live in one day.

happy/not happy things.
peggy's awesome salad blog has inspired me to update my cat blog. it's been far too long, dear reader(s)!
we found an apartment that we thought we were going to buy, but the neighborhood was a little crappy and the place was kind of dark and i suspected the kitchen was redone with ikea cabinets that might fall apart like all other ikea stuff eventually does. oh, and the bathroom was designed by a crazy person or crack addict who thought a blue glass sink was a good idea. we were stressed out about it, which i took as a sign that it just wasn't right. so we'll keep looking.
problem is, we desperately want to move NOW and i've never been good at being patient. earlier i heard someone yelling "FIRE! THERE'S A FIRE!" and i panicked for a few seconds wondering how i would get the cats in their carriers, then i realized it was just the crazy neighbor barbequing outside my bedroom window. imagine for a second a grown man standing inside his apartment, arms outstretched through the kitchen window to turn the charred meat on the bbq outside. what a dick. this is the same guy that told me there was no water in the sprinklers, and that if god forbid there was a fire, we'd all perish. then when i complained to the super, he was like OF COURSE THERE'S WATER IN THE SPRINKLERS.
scott and are both sitting on the couch with our laptops, listening to that dog and robbie williams.
