it's official: I have become a disgustingly conspicuous consumer. I just ate over $6 worth of smoked salmon in one sitting. actually, one standing--I was too much of a pig to even leave the kitchen counter.

I've become concerned that my upstairs neighbor is dead. he just moved in last week; I saw him once and said hello sometime last wednesday. but I haven't seen him since. his blinds are never opened. but what really triggers my suspicion is that his car clearly hasn't been moved since we spoke. some tree or other released a hurricane of seed pod things last week, and the ones on his bmw remain undisturbed by wind or wiper. did he go out of town in another car? strange thing to do right after a long distance move (bless him, he's from new jersey). I hate to think that I'm sharing my building with a corpse.

I'm still angry with myself for not dragging my ass out of bed and watching the burlington building implosion on monday. the first major implosion here since 1971 and I sleep through it. if you feel my pain, wfmy has some nice video.

in response to justin's entry: amen to that!
