The city is noisy! I'd forgotten. The window closed would block it out but... it has its pleasant aspects, at least while I'm not watching crap on telly.

cities *are* noisy. even though i hear the noise every day, occasionally i'll forget about it and then suddenly *notice* it and be surprised. i agree though ; with some specific exceptions (shums...
) it has its pleasant aspects. i like knowing there are people all around me ; i feel connected to a thousand different stories i don't even know, and part of something huge but paradoxically also completely on a human scale.
