If you wanna find Hell with me
Ha ha! The idiots upstairs have been having a party since approximately three in the morning, complete with indoor soccer — or perhaps bowling — and my favorite drunken shouty woman. So when I got up (finally, sleep being no longer possible) I turned on my stereo. Now they are playing Danzig. Ha ha! Turn it up! Mother!
Note: lack of sleep makes me cranky, yessss Preciouss it doessss…..
Uh, I have no idea how your local constabulary handles “noise abatement” (aka “disturbing the peace”), but, assuming that the cops won’t help, maybe ear-plugs would? Not the regular foam roll-ups, but the earsets that come with an iPod — and actually hooked to an iPod for “counter-assault” music.
Unless you toss and turn in your sleep, a good set of earphones on an extension cord, plugged into your clock-radio (my Panasonic c-r has a headphone jack) both helps insure your sleep, and insure that you wake up on time too.
Just a thought….

I can’t stand earplugs — too many sinus infections — and ear buds give me sore ears after too long use, and yes, I toss and turn like the spin cycle of a washing machine, so I’d just end up strangling myself with the cord.

If you just want to be mean, wait until the party’s been over for five or six hours and play the Slayer turned up to 11.
Fair’s fair, after all.
