Okay, it's 11:14PM and I'm studying for tomorrow's 9AM neuroscience quiz. Here's my problem (well, my loudest problem.) The tenant above me in my apartment building is playing ridiculously loud music. It's so loud that I think I can tell what it is - I think she's played Dirty Little Secret by The All-American Rejects three times in a row. And it's not like I live on a college campus - it's supposed to be a quiet building, with tenants who have real jobs and stuff - which is one of the reasons I picked this apartment. So I'm glad that I have a tragus and also another tragus (a tragus is the little flap in front of your ear hole (a.k.a. external acoustic meatus) and I don't know what the plural of "tragus" is, so there you go.) Anyway, I'm using my tragus and my other tragus to cover my external acoustic meatus and my other external acoustic meatus, because I'm trying to memorize all details about why it is that we don't spontaneously lose our balance and fall down.

And now, before I go back to my notes - what is the protocol for this, o ye long-time apartment dwellers? Advise, please. Do I go ask her to turn it down, or do I mention it to my landlord - what? Or, do I turn into Mr. Heckles and bang on my ceiling with a broom? Ugh. I hate confrontation. Okay, that is all.
