One curious development is that the tree has no scent. It doesn't smell like a tree. If I go up to it and vigorously rub a branch between my palms for ten seconds, then put my hands to my face, there will be a slight tree scent. Otherwise there is no scent.
I've been trying to figure out why this is. LG had a tree last year, and he said it smelled like a forest in his apartment the entire time. The only discrepancy we thought of is that his tree was 8 feet tall, and mine is 4 feet tall, so the cubic volume of his was 8 times greater.
LG: it should smell like a forest!
me: it doesn't
Larry: get another tree!
LG: replace it
omg so i'll pay you if you let me throw the current tree out the window
itll be so great
open window or breaking the window
Larry: open window
you have a great apartment for a good throw
we'll record it and everything
