Also.
You know how in The Tell-Tale Heart the dude goes nuts from hearing the beating heart of the guy he killed and stuffed under the floorboards?
So I'm not guilty of murder or anything, but I understand the encroaching insanity of hearing a noise over and over. The power went out in our neighborhood yesterday at about six o'clock, and ever since the power came back on, an alarm in one of the warehouses across the railroad tracks has been going off every 15 seconds. Alarm. Pause. Alarm. Pause.
I have a geography exam tomorrow, and I'm trying to listen to music instead of the alarm while I'm studying, but every couple of hours, I get really super pissed. Blood-boiling-insanity-inducing-screaming-in-a-low-guttural-injured-animal
-voice-with-a-red-face pissed.

HA! That's great -- this post, I mean. Not the alarm clock and consequential insanity. :)
Four years in NYC has taught me that life cannot be lived without earplugs. It's amazing how much noise the cheap ones shut out. Buy the industrial size package. And hopeful somebody will do something about that bloody alarm! Have you tried calling the police's non-emergency number and reporting that an alarm is going off. They don't know you're not reporting an actual current break in
It's time to wake up, Lauren. Write something on your blog...
