"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

So do I talk to the landlord about their screaming fights? If it wasn't a regular occurrence, I wouldn't say a thing. But it's getting really old.

I'd call the landlord for a maintenance/parking/trash issue, but for screaming fights (and frequent ones at that) I'd just advance straight to calling the police and filing a disturbing the peace complaint. Usually having a uniformed officer at the door will quiet NoisyAngry people down quite a bit, as they're the types who have the best rationale for not wanting the police to keep an eye on them.

What is even happening?

Steph, I don't know what to tell you. The landlords of our first apartment used to fight, horribly. He was a fisherman, and they'd fight during one of his rare nights home. We used to keep half an ear open, to make sure it didn't sound like spousal abuse. We couldn't exactly say anything to them, though.

The loudest people who lived over me were 2 girls who couldn't have weighed more than 120 lbs. each.

The loudest people who lived over me were three small, wizened people in their 80s, who apparently had raging insomnia. Someone rocked very loudly in a rocking chair all night long.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

they thump around louder than anyone who's ever lived above me.

The loudest people who lived over me were 2 girls who couldn't have weighed more than 120 lbs. each. Weight has nothing to do with how heavy someone walks.

Fair point. I shouldn't have said anything about that.

On the anonymous note front, I'd still be afraid that they'd assume it came from me.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The table is done.

Now the headers and footers are fucked.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I had a dream that Usher and Justin were having a Dance Dance Revolution competition.

That sounds like fun! I bet Usher won, right?

I've googled for "HTML entities" and not found any list as good as ita's.

I win, I win!

No one came.

So INCREDIBLY unprofessional. Also rude, but most importantly, UNPROFESSIONAL.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I think if I saw more than 2 pugs gathered in one place, I would expire from the cuteness level.

The Original Pug Sunday in San Francisco

The first Sunday of every month, Weather Permitting. The Pugs congregate at the top of the hill in Alta Plaza Park. This park is located between Scott and Steiner with the cross-streets being Jackson and Clay. People show up around 1:00 pm and it lasts until the last Pug has gone home which is usually around 4:00 pm.

Oh, wait, I have to share something from our conference this weekend. I was in a small group session and someone related a tale of a potential client who had behaved similarly [slightly different sitch, but in that vein], commenting that it was really uncomfortable. #2 Big Boss of the Company, one of the more mild mannered people in this field, on the surface anyway, steps in.

"It's not uncomfortable, it's inappropriate and unprofessional."

So far, so good, yeah?

Then he says: "We need to know if things like this happen. You can't get revenge right away, but we have long memories at this firm and at some point in the future will come a time....yadda yadda yadda." Except - the man was serious. Really serious. Now I'm dying to ferret out some stories or figure out just what he had in mind.

I would die. DIE, I tell you! Is that what you want? Do you have a secret yen to see me undergo Death By Pug Cuteness?
