SO. TIRED.

This 'Nemi' cartoon from the paper this morning made me laugh as it reminded me of last night.

After a fantastic first episode of the new season of the Sopranos, we went to get some sleep at 11pm. We knew our neighbour was having a party - because we saw from 8 onwards that he had a ton of people on his balcony. However, at 11 it was still going strong, even stronger. The loud talking and laughing was getting on our nerves, but we decided to just hold out til 12 to see if they would quiet down. At 12 they did finally go inside his flat and shut the door - YAY - finally we'd be allowed to sleep. But, it must have got too hot with the door closed, because they opened it back up and decided to watch a Robbie Williams concert on dvd on sound level 1,000,000.
Eventually Murray leaned his head out our window yelling 'SHUT THE DOOR.' But the dvd was so loud they couldn't hear us. Eventually I got out of bed at 1:30am and saw my flat mate who agreed we should call the police (as the cotton she had put in her ears wasn't working). So we called the police, they said we should call the council. We got a hold of the sound squad (or whatever they're called) at the council and they said they'd send someone around. Of COURSE (sod's law) when I went back to bed after the phone call the dvd had finished and it was much quieter. We could still hear them in the hot tub talking about the hot tub and other things. But, at least we were eventually able to get to sleep.
Of course people can have parties. But on a Thursday night? When you have neighbours so close that have to go to work in the morning? That is just rude. And now I'm sitting here with bleary eyes feeling awful after less than 4 hours sleep. What a jerk. I'm looking forward to hearing back from the council as to whether they spoke to him or not!
BRING ON THE WEEKEND!!!
