and a crazy old flake.

there have been few disturbances in the halls of our building lately, but tonight the truce between "cuckoo" (old woman across the hall) and "junkie" (woman in the apt below us) - both names we've heard them call each other, we wouldn't come up with such nasty monikers for our neighbors - was broken.

while watching the rangers kick ass! whoo! this evening i heard a ruckus starting up in the hall almost as loud as the one going on in the Garden. i dashed to the peephole, and saw cuckoo's door open. i then heard her yelling from the stairwell. junkie was shouting back at her. cuckoo raised her voice (a boon to the girl huddled behind her fireproof door, listening intently) and let loose a stream of threats that ended with "if i ever hear you or see you again..." junkie cut her off, and suddenly junkie was cut off with the spraying sound of an aerosol can.

door slams, cuckoo comes back up to our floor. i think its safe to say the elderly woman across the hall maced a fellow purdy court resident with lysol.

goodness i'm going to miss this place when we move.

The cuckoo is hard core. What does the junkie do that annoys the cuckoo?

she doesn't do anything, actually. i think that's part of the reason why the old woman is cuckoo...

My neighborhood has a new cuckoo homeless woman. She moved in about two weeks ago and has been pissing outside the windows on the south side of my building, possibly on one apartment's air conditioner. It really reeks outside my building, but I am hoping the rain that is supposed to happen one of these days will wash the urine smell away.

The landlord installed an automatic air freshener in the hallway and now the front of the building smells like a men's bathroom in a crappy bar.
