My neighbour is hearing it for the tenth time (I counted) today - and its the same *** aria for the last weeks. I cannot stand another hearing. I really cannot. I already closed my windows and retreated from my balcony, and I would be using earplugs if I werent waiting for an important phone call ... I think I will never again be able to hear a belted sopran aria.

Find a drum kit and start practicing...

Might be a good idea - OTOH We have a couple of kids in the house, and all of them are practising some kind of instrument(s) (mostly, no kidding, viola or tuba...). (But I could get out my E-Guitar and start practising with that one, instead of my classic one

).
But I fear that starting to drum would mostly annoy another neighbour - a young (and very friendly) family with two children (one a few weeks old, one roughly 2yrs). Hardly fair

Thank you Am!

When you have grey hair, you still can be passionate.

Or an Alice Cooper CD. Or a good torque wrench. Or maybe a banjo. Yeah! That's it! A banjo!

I'd love to. I need to finish this last ^*^%*& paper first, however.

Bagpipes.

(And I actually like both banjo and bagpipes, but even so, bagpipes are pretty much impossible to ignore.

)

Imagines, envisions and likes. Growing old has mighty fine privileges.

Maybe you have a boring teacher?

Well done.

I suggest that you suspend the practice of calling your co-workers vegetables until you resolve your own job description, however....

Edit: oh, wait, I thought you called him a turnip. Never mind. I think I should get back to finishing that last paper before I lose my mind completely....

yeah, you're right. they are an entire fruit salad
