SR IV: This is the end, my only friend, the end.

  Now those were definitely fighting words.

I 'm hoping that Obama will notice and give me a job in his administration.  Hopefully, as the ambassador to Prague;  err Prog.

From the Christian Thread- Just a report on what happened today that I don't feel like typing twice.

Well, as of right now, my wife will be caring for children in her mother's house just 5-10 minutes away, and so far, everyone has agreed to that, but it's only a temporary solution.

We're getting the hell out of here as soon as we can.

These people downstairs hit the ceiling when we're eating dinner.

We've lived here years and the downstairs people never complained- not until these people moved in.

Also of note, is that the woman (there's 2 men and 1 woman- go figure that) fancies herself a political godsend whose new book "will solve the social security crisis, but I can finish it because of your child up there."

Very jerkish from those new people.

Half-unrelated, I live in an apartment, and never had complains about playing the piano.
Ever.
From anybody.

Our neighbors didn't appreciate our dogs barking all night when we went to gigs or to visit friends. We got an official warning for it (with no signs of any problems beforehand, we'd lived here for a year and a half by that point) and really feared we might have to move, but then it was lemon bark collars to resque. It's the best invention ever, you put it on your dog and when they bark, it shoots lemon juice at their nose. Painless but obviously very uncomfortable since nowadays they behave like angels. We used to record the sounds of the apartment after the warning and those hairy loudmouths were shouting at the top of their lungs for hours and hours when we were at work. Enter the collars, the flat is entirely silent all day.

Driving to Amsterdam = Driving to Amsterdam = OK Rest of the album is much the same. The opener is trés cool, though. Wolf City blaring at the moment - really fabulous album. On dit "très".

English keyboard... can't be helped (i.e. don't actually have that accent)

I bought it somewhere cheap a couple of years ago, listened to it once, got bored and forgot about it. That same happened with Talk and Union at the time, but I've started to like them to some extent, Talk quite a lot in fact, with recent spins. Perhaps I should try Open Your Eyes again as well some day...
