Right now one of the Mormon kids upstairs is trying to figure out how to play the cello line of Pachelbel's Canon in D. On the electric bass. With the amp turned up much too loud for 9:30 on a school night. But more irritating than the volume? IT'S THE CELLO LINE OF PACHELBEL'S CANON IN D. THIRTEEN MEASURES REPEATED OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. SERIOUSLY. Murder cannot come to them too soon.
In related news, I successfully performed my vacuum surgery earlier. And did my vacuuming while it was still light outside and the neighbors were gone on a bike ride. Because I am considerate like that. Wow were my floors dirty.
I was recently involved in a row with one of my neighbors who held some kind of drinking party on the patio (which is adjacent to my apartment). At 11:00 I made a subtle gesture to indicate that I was going to bed. At 2:00 a.m. they began moving very heavy and wooden large objects up the stairs, having to bump it into the wooden walls and bang along the wooden stairs, themselves falling into the walls, laughing and being ridiculously loud. I went outside and discovered that they were using a skateboard to transport large wooden items down the stairs (thunk! thunks! thunk!) and threw a coniption fit about the fact that they were doing this at two o'clock in the morning. Thereafter they didn't move anything up and down the stairs, but continued their boistrous party on the patio. The next day, I called the landlady and left an articulate and substantive message, and she took care of the problem immediately. She said that part of our lease is the quiet time after 10pm and that she has no tolerance for violating that cannon. I would voice a complaint to either your neighbors or to your landlord.
btw amychan, apparently my mommy reads your blog.
ciao!
Fern, thank you for the sage advice. Next time they are violating post 10-pm noise ordinance rather than just being hella inconsiderate, I am definitely going to bring it down.
And readers? I have readers? Hi Jennifer!
