I can’t go without Internet for four MINUTES, so whatever the other choice is, I’d take it.

As for finding the management company of the building, do you ever see anyone who lives in that building? If so, ask them for the info. If you need to make up some story (I’d have to), just say that your friend is looking for an apartment to rent and wants to know who to talk to.

Have a GREAT weekend!!!!

I love those shoes.

Those shoes are so cute! What made you decide to chose those over the gunmetal-colored shoes? Are you going to get a matching purse too?

I seriously know what you mean about the bees. I actually got stung by one in my hand a few years ago. This bee was hiding underneath a crate that I was helping to lift off a truck.

I would chose eating green-colored foods. It’s healthier.

Those shoes are uber cute! and you cannot go wrong with that price… Can you find me a pair to match my betsey johnson dress please? I figure youve put in the hard yards and have research experience…

Totally green coloured foods. Net addict.

The shoes are terrific! Live without internet for four months? Don’t think I could do that.

That bug was most certainly NOT invited to my shower! Eek!

Also, can you call you the cops about your neighbor?

green food, including dyeing cookies green, says the woman with no internet access at home who isn’t getting internet access for at least another week.

cute shoes!

Have you tried leaving a note for the drum-playing neighbor with a box of cup cakes? You may have better luck?

Or why not leave a note for another neighbor in his building about it and see if they will help contacting the management. I’m sure it’s bothering them as well.

I’d have to go with green foods, as I’m currently not working and the internet is my only hope for finding a job!

Would I get my bberry? or not internet at all?

I like veggies and need my internet to work, so…there you go!

Thumbs up on the shoes — I think you’ll end up wearing those a LOT.

Hil, I’ve had the septoplasty done and it was four days of vicodin relief. After that it was like having a head cold for a week. Finally, after that last round, it was worth it. I breathe SO much better and get a better nights sleep as well. Feel free to drop me a line if you’d like to know more. And I have recovery pics on the blog (July/August ‘07)

The shoes I LOVE!!! I have a very similiar pair in the closet.

Green colored food for a year. Why? I typically love green foods anyway: fresh veggies and the what not. Just don’t make me eat bell peppers, then I’d be done for.

Green food? Okay if I get the Internet.

Cute shoes. Very simple and just right.

I have a neighbor with a yippy barking dog that goes for hours — like 10:30 to midnight solid barking. I am having evil thoughts about what I can throw at him or over the fence. And I love dogs — just not the constant noise of this dog going on and on and on, same pitch, same screech. ARGH! It must be very similar with drums over and over and over.

as usual, jessica beats me to it. shoes are great, I’d eat green foods (mostly happily) over losing the internet, and you can see who owns a property thru propertyshark.com. registration is free, you just need to know the address. I use all the time to stalk. I mean, conduct research for curbed. let me know if you need some help with it. if that doesn’t work, you can go to city hall to check building records, but that’s a schlep.

I am curious about your decision to attach “asshole” to the rest of your hyphenated chain of words. Does “asshole music” refer to farting? Music for assholes? If the latter, literal ones or figurative?

Perhaps it’s the soundtrack from Mike Judge’s Idiocracy, which I understand refers to a movie called Ass, which is just some 90 minutes of an ass farting on screen.

Asshole music, indeed!

Sarah is right — contact the Prop. Management Co. about Little Drummmer Boy.

I love dogs, but once had a prob with a barking dog too. So I left a note on the door & contacted the Prop Mngmnt Co. Barking Dog stopped within 24 hrs!

Pox: easy with the ‘fart-talk’ it kinda stinks!

Hill: good question! I eat green everyday…and I have a need for the Internet everyday! Can’t I have a little of both?

Ok, that is a very weird question. I would totally give up the internet. Only green foods…no way!

Why don’t you just call the police the next time he’s playing his drums at 3am? They’ll issue a warning followed by (if you have to call them again) a ticket with a (hefty) fine. That ought to make him reconsider his rehearsal hours.

I’ve called the police, but since I live in Hollywood they have more important things to take care of (shootings, robberies, you get the idea) so it usually takes them a few hours to come over.

Hill: go to one of the other tenants that live in Little Drummer Boys building (odds are they have a problem with 2 AM drum sessions too) ask them whose the building Manager or who they write their rent checks to. If Little Drummer Boy’s Father doesn’t own the building, they should be able to stop the madness. Also, go to the police & file a Disturbing the Peace Complaint — at least that’ll get something on file. Good Luck

Honestly, I suspect the neighbor is an uphill battle. Have you tried a white noise machine? I love mine.
