My house was beset by the taste of tremont today- which would be fine if the restaurant across the way didnt play horrible earworm music mixed and remixed together, the same shit year after year, at such a volume that there is nowhere in my house that I can go to get away from it. i know i should have escaped as all rational people would, but got shit to do.
