Beginner Gardening: Help! My Madagascar Palm Is Looking Rough, 3 by joegahona

I bought this (Pachypodium Lamerei) about six weeks ago, and it started looking rough within the first couple of weeks and has gotten worse. I started out by watering it once per week, per the guy at the nursery, but I've just started watering it twice a week. I can't tell if it's not getting enough sun, too much sun, not enough water, too much water, etc.

I live in Santa Fe. My living room gets tons of light -- there are windows on the north- and south-facing walls, and on the west wall is the (permanently closed) door you see pictured. My thought is that maybe the top of the plant isn't getting enough direct sunlight...?

Here's a photo of it the day I brought it home: http://i.imgur.com/eQPBK.jpg

The other photos posted are from this morning.

I'm a complete amateur at keeping plants, so please be gentle. Might not have been the greatest pick for me, but I have it now and don't want it to die.
