VARIETY SHOW

AUGUST 22ND, 7:33PM

N ot even a week has gone by since my move and I already love my new life. It's been a whirlwind of new classes, college homecoming activities--which I'm actually attending this year--studies, chores and hanging out with Erin. I barely have time for anything else.

It’s Thursday night, and I’m studying for tomorrow's pop-quizzes on Erin's couch, dressed comfortably in my pajamas and floppy-eared bunny slippers. My hair is held up in a bun by a variety of pens, pencils, and highlighters.

Dinner smells waft through the small space. The apartment smells like pizza. I love pizza. I’m a pizza piggy. Oink! Oink! It's only my fifth day here and we're already on our second binge of extra-large cheese pies. I'm so used to eating haute cuisine made by our chef that it never occurred to me to try a dollar slice. Daddy would be appalled to know I’m stuffing my face with food from the dingy dive down the street.

The best part is it’s cheap! I could eat there for a week and still have money left for a cab. Not that Erin will let me take a cab. Since she's worried I'll be stuffed in the trunk before meeting my unpleasant demise and getting dumped out at Planting Fields, I’m sticking to the train.

My mind is wandering. I've been studying for so long that I fried my brain. I think I smell bacon. Lifting my nose, I sniff the air. Pizza.

I slouch back into the pillows and look down at my book. I slam it shut and massage my temples, trying to squeeze out my oncoming headache. Too much info, too little time.

Erin bounces into the room a second later and places a bowl of warm, buttered popcorn on my knees. Lifting up my feet, she sits down at the far end of the couch and props my bunny-slippered feet on her lap.

“Lights out, babe! It’s show time!”

She turns off the side table lamp. Television at Erin’s is a unique experience. She doesn’t actually own a TV, which takes some adjustment when you're used to hundreds of channels and instant videos.

Instead of TV, Erin turns off the lights and looks out her huge-ass bank of windows to watch the people in the apartments across the street. At first it felt wrong, looking into other people’s private lives. But, as Erin was quick to point out, they choose not to use their curtains and blinds to cancel our show.

Plus, Erin has very entertaining neighbors.

On our dramatic soap opera channel, a newlywed couple directly across the street never fails to entertain us with their heated arguments and even more heated reconciliations.

Next to them, on the erotic romance channel, is the steamy ménage à trois between two girls and one guy. Nuff said.

One floor up, the absurd porn channel hosts a BDSM couple... an elderly BDSM couple. I can only hope I’ll still be THAT much into sex at their age.

Over on the chick flick channel, two hot male
