alas i'm embroiled in a soup war with the applied chemistry fellow on the third floor. he lives next to my friend rikita (from english) and teases her about her making soup. he scrawled an inexplicable note on her door: "no soup for you!" i saw this yesterday morning when i went down to talk to rikita, and as he is one who trys hard but speaks badly accented chinese, i immediately left a chinese note (sanctioned by rikita) on his door that said, no soup for you. (bu rang ni he tang!) a day goes by. which on hindsight he must have spend recceing the fourth floor for my room - for today he has hunted me down and left a note on my door: "oh yeah? well no soup for YOU!!" so i promptly (and childishly enough, i admit) raced back downstairs and wrote on his door, in chinese again: "na jiu quan dou bu he tang ba!" (let's all not drink soup then!) i await the next soup pronouncement upon my door and regret volunteering for other people's wars.
