do they come in chinese though ? the noisiest children in my building all seem to be chinese. although there is an arab girl whose lungs must have timelord technology (bigger on the inside than on the outside). it's clearly hereditary, because you should hear her mother, especially when she's on the cellphone in the courtyard (actually, you probably *can* hear her, all the way over there). the two of them give me strong yearnings to buy up all the rotten tomatoes and cracked eggs at the end of the market, and stockpile them next to the window, along with perhaps some large water balloons. i'm hoping that there's a special circle in hell reserved for children like that, and their parents. and have i mentioned that woman is pregnant ? i'm soooo happy. Sartre had it right when he said "l'enfer, c'est les autres." ("hell is other people.")

That's part of what finally drove me out of condo living. That, and the cigar smoke drifting up from my downstairs neighbor.
Now, I have to worry about whether my new neighbors will be bothered by Megan and Jordan's barking. Their house is only about 50 or 60 feet away from mine (still under construction), and there are times the girls do bark.
I've already started apologising in advance for any barking that may occur, and have asked them both to tell me if and when it bothers them (rather than just ringing the doorbell and punching me out when I come to the door). I've also told them where the dog treats are hidden ... give the girls a treat and they will shut up for hours at a time.
Oh well ... time to feed the cats and log off for the night. I've had it for the day.
