Cripes. It's sort of neat having a phone that plays mp3s, but it's embarrassing when you're at work, you have your phone in your back pocket cuz it's small and flat like that, you sit down without having remembered to put the keylock on the phone, and all of a sudden this is blaring out of your ass:

All you trekkies and tv addicts
Don't mean to diss
Don't mean to bring static
All you klingons in the fuckin' house
Grab your backstreet friend and get loud
Blowin' doors off hinges
I'll grab you with the pinchers
And no i didn't retire
I'll snatch you up
With the needle nose pliers

Draws quite a few stares in a big room full of manuscript editors. Took me a good twenty seconds to shut the blasted thing off.

if my a**hole neighbor happened to be in said room i'm pretty sure he shat himself with anger.

he is a very scary man.

He is!!! We had a press-wide going-away party the other day (I never see him outside of those events, as I have no contact with his dept.), and I was noticing again how creepy he is. And he seems bitchy, too. I'll pass him on the street when he's with other people from the press, and the other people will always say hello, but he never does.

Has he still been giving you shit?

Actually, I can't figure something out. I found his website a while back and there is a photo here: http://www.robertpranzatelli.com/Bio.html

...which is apparently him. The thing is, I know this guy lives upstairs and is the one responsible for all the calls to the landlord, stomping on our ceiling, fabricating stories in an effort to push us out of this house...

...but we've been here over a year now and we have NEVER SEEN THAT PERSON IN THAT PICTURE. Ever. Never leaving the house, entering the house- and in order to access his apartment door he needs to use the stairs outside our living room door. You would think we'd have seen him at least once all this time- nope! It's kind of scary.

The confusing thing is, we HAVE seen someone who has come down from his apartment and knocked on our door- once to tell us he could hear us talking and would we please stop, and another time- crime of crimes- to ask if we were cooking bacon and inform us that the smell of bacon was making him sick.
But it's not this guy in the picture. Which doesn't make sense, because the landlord told us a million times that "this guy has been living here ALONE for FIFTEEN YEARS, yatta yatta." So either it's his secret live-in boyfriend or this guy's a shapeshifter.

I am convinced, though, that whoever he is, he is on some campaign. The fact that he has been in his apartment for 15 years whilst the apartment underneath his has been a revolving door for tenants is a big warning flag to me. I suspect this is a pattern with him- he pushes out anyone who moves in. The incredible fabrications that he's told in efforts to sic the landlord on us- apparently we've had some wild raging parties and have deliberately broken the front door (while out of the country!)- would only support this possibility.

Either way, he's not a nice person.
