okay, there's a bit of a story to this one.

i lived on the top floor of an apartment building (standard freshman college housing whatnot) with two others, one of whom i shared a bedroom with. and out the very large windows you could see the windows of the building down the road very well.

and with about a month left of school, my roommates and i struck upon the harsh realization that seeing the window down the road could work vice-versa as well, and that whoever lived there was making full use of that fact. infact, there was a red light coming from one of those windows. after logical reasoning that i'm not willing to go into, we figured that the red light was pointed right at the window of my and my roomate's room.

that's right. a video camera. we called the police. yeah right: three teenage college girls talking to a stereotypically fat male policeman, of COURSE nothing was going to happen! (he actually said that the camera was LEGAL! massachussetts is SO STUPID!)

so. we got shades and curtains. and i hung this little number on the curtain, facing outside.

it was my own little way of dealing with it. o) i actually really like it. Artwork © Copyright 2003 Young-Wha Hung
