shortly after our first exchange i discovered that gosling does indeed vacate the couch occasionally. when this happens he stands up, walks the five feet to the front stoop, then sits down again in the green plastic deckchair that materialized there one evening. upon arrival, he proceeds to smoke a truly impressive amount of cigarettes, usually consuming a full pack per excursion. this would be fine, i suppose, were it not for two things. the first is a practical concern. the stoop is situated directly beneath my window, and due to sandra's policy of hiring only non-accredited builders, the insulation surrounding that window possesses a more permeable nature than most. the second thing is a practical concern. due to his enthusiasm for inhaling ash, goslings has developed the sort of wet, wracking cough generally associated with tuberculosis patients. most nights, he wakes up several times in a storm of coughing.
typically after the fit subsides, he goes out for a smoke break.
