One obviously can't watch screeners, read scripts, clean the house, arrange screenings, make calls, and write stories/items at the same time. The tension created by the inability to focus on just one of these (and letting the other three go for the time being) is exhausting. At least there's one thing I'm dead certain of -- i.e., the repulsiveness of Costco-level Latin dance music, which is now throbbing through the ceiling and vibrating paint chips off the walls.

Man, that wiring looks like the ductwork in Brazil or some other "civilization-gone-wrong" film, not that I can talk--wires and accessories everywhere, not to mention lunch.

Noisy neighbors are a huge drag. Couldn't you get a room at The Home for Aged Mimes or something?

My roommate blares the same few U2 songs day in and day out. And since he's unemployed I get it all day long. I've been cat sitting for friends in a backyard bungalo in Los Feliz for the last 2 weeks and the quiet atmosphere has not only helped my psyche, it's helped my writing. Take a quiet weekend away, Jeff.

I just shut off my hearing aid, so I can't really give you any advice on how to achieve total silence.

You gotta get out of that place, before you commit a homicide (maybe a justifiable one, in this case?)

"My roommate blares the same few U2 songs day in and day out."

Back in the Stone Age of vinyl, I had a friend whose roommate played the same two wretched LPs constantly, month in, month out. One day when I was visiting and the roommate was out of the room, I dropped the two offending LPs behind the couch, where they wouldn't be found for the rest of the year.

This probably is not an option in today's digital age. But why isn't your roommate listening to an iPod with earphones?

Manhattan blows. You go broke living in a 2x4 shithole. Everythings expensive and you're surrounded by noise, unless, of course, you own a penthouse like Howard Stern & Regis do (right across from your Starbux at 67th & Columbus).

I doubt Jeff has a roommate, although I wouldnt be surprised if he shares a bathroom with a tenant down the hall.

Jeff ... come on out to Plainview. Its nice and quiet out here.
