What to write...

Should I complain about my new upstairs neighbors and their barking dog? Why would you put a medium sized dog on the second floor? I pay my second month's rent tomorrow, which only reminds me I have eleven months left. I HATE CONFRONTATIONS but I will say something. In case I seriously have to take a broom to my ceiling to get them to JUST STOP IT! When they use the toilet, it sounds like a tsunami. & it seems they only have sex once a week. They're young! We're talking separate bedrooms by their 40s.
Note to self: Buy a broom.
The other thing major in my life: iTunes. Yes, I am hooked. I have downloaded Shark Week, a couple of eps of x-Files, NCIS, PSYCH and some discovery specials on Tattoos and the origins of Vampire lore. & cooking podcasts. Also, my beloved Scene/Unseen (glad Chris is back) and the Rotten Tomatoes Show is excellent.
All because of my new MacBookPro. After the Amtrak bus driver (no train station in Las Vegas) heaved my old beloved Mac under the bus, it's never been the same. So I use it for movies.
I have discovered a quote that I hope will motivate me:

"On a day no different than the one now dawning, Shakespeare sat down and started Hamlet, Leonardo stepped to an easel and made the first strokes of the Mona Lisa, and Beethoven took out a sketchbook and began the Ninth Symphony." adapted from Robert Richardson, Emerson A Mind on Fire.
Scheherazade might be up first!

Finger Lickin' Fifteen (Stephanie Plum, #15)

Finger Lickin' Fifteen by Janet Evanovich


My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Well, listened to. I agree with Laurel, nothing funny in Lula, though I still find Grandma funny. And pick one of those guys already! Ranger scares me. The actress who read made him even scarier.

Plot: The story of Dr Parnassus and his extraordinary 'Imaginarium', a travelling show where members of the audience get an irresistible opportunity to choose between light and joy or darkness and gloom. Blessed with the extraordinary gift of guiding the imaginations of others, Dr Parnassus is cursed with a dark secret. Long ago he made a bet with the devil, Mr Nick, in which he won immortality. Many centuries later, on meeting his one true love, Dr Parnassus made another deal with the devil, trading his immortality for youth, on condition that when his first-born reached its 16th birthday he or she would become the property of Mr Nick. Valentina is now rapidly approaching this 'coming of age' milestone and Dr Parnassus is desperate to protect her from her impending fate. Mr Nick arrives to collect but, always keen to make a bet, renegotiates the wager. Now the winner of Valentina will be determined by whoever seduces the first five souls. Enlisting a series of wild, comical and compelling characters in his journey, Dr Parnassus promises his daughter's hand in marriage to the man that helps him win. In this captivating, explosive and wonderfully imaginative race against time, Dr Parnassus must fight to save his daughter in a never-ending landscape of surreal obstacles - and undo the mistakes of his past once and for all.
