Laptop seems to be dead. I suspect the fan stopped working and got somewhat overheated. It worries me the fact I may have lost half of my WIP.
But I'm not worried, you know why? Because it means I get a motivation to rewrite!

Not in dreams. Macs cost here as much as used cars and mine I got it because it's 5 years old and used to be my father's.

Obnoxiousnous? (Bad spelling, sorry). Loud music - up to 18 hours a day at one point - resonating through the house, when I complained they took it outside, which I decided was more democratic as it annoyed everyone else as well, anglo-saxon language use. Now you might imagine it was the teenagers. Ah, no, it was the parents. The kids were really nice, uber polite and very friendly. So I'm getting the Who and Smokey Robinson and Motown's greatest hits and rock music that I absolutely love and grew up with, at all hours and at tremendous volume. I am all for resonating bass and Nicky Hopkins piano playing on those Who records, but quite frankly, it was awful. It got even worse when they got karaoke, because none of them could sing anywhere near a note on the human scale. When they took it outside we all got Moron FM, the local 60's radio pap station from hell. The lady of the house (I use the term in it's loosest sense) seemed to spend a large part of her time drinking, watching soccer and swearing, somewhere along the lines of "what the bleeping hell do you think you're bleeping doing with that bleeping thing." I hope you get the gist, I don't like to swear, there are too many other useful words in the lexicon. They never introduced themselves when they moved in and made no effort to get to know us at all. Once we figured out what they were like, we made zero effort likewise. We don't smoke but we would find discarded cigarette butts and packets on our front garden, that could have only come from someone throwing then over the hedge as they walked down the front path to their door. A sheer total lack of consideration and gratitude for one's environment and the people and things in it. I have never seen such uncivil people and I grew up in a fairly awful place. The thing that scares me the most about them is that, I could have become that. This is a possible career path that I never took. Does that help?

Wow, Ali, that does sound bad. Glad they're getting out of your space so they can bother someone else.

Not, that's Eulalie Estherwood. Image advisor for Governor Malcolm McGuffey's campaign to earn the presidential candidacy of the Prosperity Party!

Doing well. Have had a few setbacks in college (I flunked an important subject) and organzing everything for my surgery but in general lines doing well.
By any chance do you have Kat's phone number?

And...since I've been thinking this through. I don't believe that woman ever stopped complaining, about everything. She was a mega sun tanner - I don't think she believed in skin cancer - and she once spent several hours out in her back garden drinking, listening to Moron FM and moaning about the height of our fence. "I would get a much better tan if it was lower."
And now they're gone. I am so grateful to the universe - thank you universe. ![]() Anyone for a drink? I did promise.
