I have never hated marching bands as much as I do right now

Quick notice before this entry is eaten by other things: My day went well, I am feeling pretty good (aside from my cold kicking up again, but it feels like it's less in my lungs than last time, so even that's not too bad, knock-on-wood), I'm driving a different (much, much shorter) bus, and I have DVDs to talk about.

But right now, I am about to go to bed. See, I have to get up at five tomorrow, which I am out of practice at doing, and there is a marching band practicing/playing not too far away at this very moment.

Well within hearing distance, in fact.

Very enthusiastically.

......

Plz to be making them stop soon, Whoever Is In Charge Around Here. I would be very, very much happier for close to eight hours of sleep, and also safer for the driving of small children to school. So please?
