If you pay attention to either Niki or myself, you’ll know that we like to spy on our neighbours. For almost an entire year, we had the perfect view into the apartment across the courtyard and a floor down from us, and it was so much fun. The people who lived there were all homosexual and were always interested in having big parties every weekend and being ridiculous. They were very entertaining.

A couple of weeks ago, they moved out. I was devastated, but held hope that the new people would be just as fun. They aren’t. The people who have moved into the apartment are scary. They also always keep the blinds drawn, so we can’t even spy on them very effectively. From what I do know about them, however, they are very boring, and the man who lives there looks like he’d love nothing more than to put me in a barrel full of acid.

They also have a sombrero hanging on the wall as decoration. Something about that just don’t sit right with me. Mostly because it’s tacky as hell, but also because I keep wondering if it would still be a good decoration if it were a Native American headdress or something similar. They seem like the kind of people who have it mounted on the wall as one would mount a deer head. Either way, they make me so uneasy and I’m considering anonymously leaving a DVD of Rear Window in their mail slot as a pre-emptive shot across the bow.
