Discussion about
Or "How the might have fallen" "When Mr. Friedlander entertains, he must first vacuum the blue velvet couch because of the constant rain of ceiling plaster. He sleeps fully clothed and wearing a hat because at night he can see his breath in the as-yet-unheated air. A chunk of wrought-iron railing retrieved from the flotsam pins the balcony door shut and, oh, there%u2019s no kitchen. He makes do with a toaster oven and washes his dishes in the bathtub." I was wondering, without a kitchen, does can an apartment have a certificate of occupancy? I didn't think it was legal to have an apartment without a kitchen. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/08/realestate/08cov.html?_r=1

He does his dishes in the tub.

All I could think of when I read that was the Senifeld episode where Kramer prepares the salad in the shower and the germophobe lady freaks out when he tells her.

click on the slide show and scroll to the 7th picture. The guy sleeps in a box. Oh, I'm sorry, I mean a "pod." I thought I saw everything, but I guess I haven't.
