Am v. v. bad neighbor. Bad, as in vindictive.
Upstairs neighbors have zero problem blasting music at 11:30 at night, with regularity. And, although am open to all sorts of music, am not inclined to appreciate Rob Zombie after the hours of say, 9:00. Just don't have it in me.
Do have it in me to reciprocate by sharing my love for John Denver with them. At 7:00 in the morning. After a good early morning yoga session, combined with fact that am, contrary to upbringing, a morning person, feel like singing along to some wholesome, in-touch-with-nature, feel-good music.
So not punk rock.
Good morning, fellas. You feelin' that sweet surrender? Boy howdy, I sure am.

"mountin' mama, take me home ..."
Posted by: Texas T-bone at October 14, 2003 02:43 PMAw! John Denver! I love him too :).
Posted by: Jen at October 14, 2003 09:25 PMthat is sweet revenge, indeed!
just wanted to tell you i thought of you today while in school--one of my profs (actually, the one i'm madly in love with) used your "fish needs a bicycle" quote. i totally smiled a secret, knowing smile. :)
Posted by: sassylittlepunkin at October 14, 2003 10:01 PMaw rock on, fish. I'm so NOT a morning person.. ugh.
..and uh, Texas, wouldn't that be "mountain mama"? I could be very wrong as I haven't heard the song in awhile, but I thought the song was about the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Posted by: tab at October 14, 2003 10:19 PMRob Zombie. UGH! You have my utmost sympathies. You might also try a little Charlie Parker full blast say a little earlier...6:30? The thing is...they probably slept through your revenge. Best to find a way to axe their electricity.
Posted by: Katherine at October 14, 2003 11:24 PMbest way to get em at their own game is stick the speakers on a table against the wall. sound then travels upwards w/ a lot better clarity, but then again the neighbors beside you will get pissed. if your not inclined to get them upset w/ you as well it's best to quardinate attacks w/ them. i'm sure if your really inclined to get even w/ the nice people upstairs you can get the two appartments beside you in on it and throw one good, early morning coffee party, say 5 am? (or earlier) depending on when your neighbors have to be to work and how long it takes them to get ready, you could have a really good time of it. and w/ other neighbors in on it your less likely to get in trouble w/ your landlord.
naw, i've never done that. really!
just a thought
cheers
