Another night, another ridiculously loud party. It's not quite as loud as Saturday night's earbuster, but it's close.

So, I've decided upon a plan*.

Step 1: Buy/rent/borrow/steal one of those giant speaker trucks they use to flush out cults.

Step 2: Borrow one of

redesigner 's Barry Manilow CDs.

Step 3: Go to site of last night's extreme noise, shortly after sunrise.

Step 4: Crank up the rig.

Step 5: Utilize ear protection.

Step 6: PROFIT.

My only hesitation is I'm not sure what song to start on. "I Write the Songs," seems like an appealing choice, as does "Can't Smile Without You." Or there's always "Copacabana" or "Mandy." Of course, any Fanilows out there with suggestions, please leave them in a comment. I don't plan to use "Weekend in New England," as I actually think it's kind of pretty (shush).

*of course the actual plan is installing my a/c, which should block out 90% of this bullcrap. However, if I had the means, I would totally do what I describe above.

It may yet come to that - although the a/c has the added bonus of removing humidity while creating that lovely white noise buffer. It's only a problem when it's warm enough to hang out outside in the summer and warm enough to keep the windows open. But it's a good suggestion.

(well, a white noise machine is easier to get than an RPG anyway...)

Oh, it's on now.
