Compiz Fusion
Gnome (too bloated for my taste, only using it for the compiz integration) running compiz fusion on ubuntu 8.04.

At Soviet Georgian HIlls, the apartment complexes YOU!
You're damned straight the subject line is a bit of a reach. Fuck you.
So here at (Soviet) Georgian Hills, living is an adventure.
First there's the two separate car fires, which probably is what led to the notice found in our mailbox concerning new rules and policies. Draconian closing times on the previously 24 hour laundry facility (which doesn't affect me), pool passes will be issued for residents (none required before) (also doesn't affect me, as another of the new rules bans non-standard bathing clothing: "NO PAMPERS"), things of that nature. Then there's the meaty clause:
That'd be the Atlanta P.D. that shoots 90-year-old women and plants drugs on them.
On top of this, we have the Bible study meetings being pimped at us every Tuesday night in the "Community Room." I'm sorely tempted to go, but I have a feeling it would all end in blood and sirens.
Does the man going from apartment building to apartment building putting animal traps on the roofs count as suspicious activity? I don't know why he's bothering, the local cats oppress the local rodents with iron fists. Just a few weeks ago I heard a cat kill an entire nest of something in the ceiling above my room. A cat hunting (what I assume were) rats in a pitch black attic that is presumably full of fiberglass insulation (probably none of that, really) is an awesome thing to listen to.
The silence of the afternoon is shattered by the first staccato thumpings of cat feet, claws extended, and the sudden crashing boom as kitty takes down the first rat. You expect the ceiling to cave in, but it does not. The rat does not die quickly, nor quietly, but it is over soon enough, and after that it's a waiting game. Predator and prey sit in the darkness, stretching their senses outwards and waiting for something to happen. The cat's attention span wins out, and a rat decides it is safe to move, resulting in another tremendous crash and more squealing. The cat, sadistic in his mastery, takes his time on the last rat: a series of playful thumps and scurries. The condemned is allowed the glimmer of hope as he slips away time and again in just the nick of time.
It ends as it always does, with kitty licking the dust out of his toes in a sunny spot on the hood of a car with two flat tires.
...and Dad calls this place a cesspool.

Then there's the meaty clause:
We are receiving assistance from both the Atlanta Police Department and the GANG squad to control any illegal activity on the property. Parents, you are encouraged to communicate this information to your children. Loitering in hallways and on stairwells is not allowed. Any suspicious activity on property should be reported to the Police Department.
