Vegetarians, and Landlords

I've tried to pay attention to my diet. I took supplements and ate as much as I could. I tried, honestly, to be a good vegetarian, but I got weaker, and weaker, and weaker. I went to the gym on Friday after work and I could barely lift 120#, which is usually not even a warm up.

Saturday morning, I had a plate of sausage, waffles, and four eggs for breakfast. I am not a vegetarian.

In other news. My landlord and the guy living downstairs are having MAJOR problems. Turns out my landlord might be certifiably crazy. A quick recap:
1.) My landlord (L) turned down the heat too low.
2.) Downstares neighbor (DN) bought space heaters to keep his place at a legitimate temperature.
3.) L tried to charge the DN for the $50 extra in electricity.
4.) DN refused.
5.) On a dark and stormy night, L tries to make DN leave (note-DN is not in any way packed, it's 10 o'clock, it's the biggest blizzard in YEARS).
6.) Lot's of drama ensues.
7.) L takes DN to court (last Friday), and DN, in complete disgust, tells the judge he's planning on moving out at that end of the week. Judge shrugs and says there's no legal issue.
NOTE: L has now spent $250 in court fees. He's hired a lawyer, which had to cost another $500. This is all over a $50 electrical bill.
8.) DN is now angry. Yesterday, he tells L that if he doesn't pay his deposit back, he's calling the fire inspector and telling him that the basement isn't legal to rent (it isn't). DN is a handyman, and he informs L that it will cost him $3,000 to get the place up to code. He tells him this calmly, and then leaves.
9.) Last night, L apparently cracks. He calls the police and tells them to forcibly remove DN. 10.) DN shrugs and shows them the court order telling him he has a right to live on premises for a week.
11.) Police tell L that he can't ask DN to leave. L yells at police. Police yell at L.
12.) Much drama ensues. Police leave in disgust.
13.) This morning, DN starts to take down a partition he made in the basement. L calls police again.
14.) Repeat police drama.
15.) Police ask DN, as a personal favor, to stop taking the wall down until 3PM, when the new shift starts.
16.) DN leaves. He will return at 3:10 PM (45 min) with a circular saw, to take down the wall.

I'm off. Sorry, I'm normally not a drama hound, but I CAN NOT miss this.
