On Saturday, annoyed at the thumping of my downstairs neighboor’s new subwoofer, I had to explain to him that my subwoofer is larger and louder than his and happens to be pointed downwards and directly above him. After playing the lobby scene from the Matrix and some Infectious grooves, I think I got the message accross (downward) and could resume my activities. He had turned down his glorified boombox (my goes up to 12).

It’s a constant war with the Northeastern students that consider my building a dorm and a party hall. It escalates until the day before they move out (big party) and then new people move in. I feel old.

Last night, as some of them were unpacking and hauling their new 65 inch HDTV into their 3 bedrooms appartment (where five of them live), one asked me (I was walking down to get a baguette) :

- What do you think ?

- I think it’s about half the size of mine.

and walked away.
