It sounds like the end of Toots and the Maytals "Shanty Town" and the beginning of Burning Spear "Calling Rastafari".

I hear the cold night wind rustling through the trees in our front yard. I hear the crickets chirping. I hear the computer humming.

Hey, I just realized I have white nail polish on. It's blinding.

Oh, by the way--I love "The Hobbit". I love it I love it I love it! After that I'm going to reread "The Fellowship" and then by that time "The Two Towers" will have arrived in the country and I can read that, and then I can read "The Return of the King", which I already have.

It's been such a huge show of will-power for me not to dig into it already. Oh!!!!! You know, to read more about Legolas' "bright eyes".
Okay, that's redundant. Okay, okay, OKAY, so I peeked in it a little, okay? It's not the world's biggest deal, right?

I should be banned from writing things after 10 o' clock at night.

I just farted. The next loudest sound comes from the fans in my bedroom. Yes, it's January in New England, but I just poly-urethaned a piece of furniture today and it's in my room with fans blowing the fumes out. I hear the little whirring and clicking of my "Person Jukebox" MP3 do-hicky merrily writing music to its disk, and the fans of my computer's CPU. My house mate just coughed downstairs, and I just farted again.

But I know I answered it because I knew it was your question! Would you let me know if the answer is addressed to you because that means that they've got it wrong.....*smile*

A car with bad bearings just drove down the street (God that squealing noise is loud), the pouring rain on the roof, the wind gusts hitting the sliding glass door on the deck and making it rattle and the wind chimes play, a train whistle (it's 12:52 am Monday morning). I can also hear the hum of the computer tower, the clicking of the keyboard and the fridge motor just kicked on (we've got one of those self-defrosting models). I can also hear & feel my left knee joint pop when I shift my legs cause my arthritis is bothering me (cuz it cold and wet outside and the barometer is dropping).
