floor 15, home of the screaming couple

Ah, joy.

They were at it again today, yelling, slamming doors and screaming obscenities at each other for 10-15 minutes at a time repeatedly throughout the day. The major development since the last time I mentioned it is that the female now yells nearly as loudly as the male. At one point, they were both in the hallway and the guy was right in front of my door, i.e. I could see him through the peephole. It's frightening stuff, not because I'm in any danger (so long as I stay in my apartment) but because it sounds like it's a physically abusive relationship.

When I arrived home from campus at 2am and the yelling started up, I reported them to the office for the second time. The superintendant called me back to say they already know what apartment is causing the noise--though I could have guessed that from earlier arguments that included such phrases as, "Call the police," and "Get me in trouble," (plus multiple expletives, of course)--but if I ever feared for anyone's safety I should call the police.

Well, that's that I guess.

BBC7 is playing The Vinyl Cafe. Interesting. Now, if only they'd play something Canadian on non-digital British radio, I'd have somewhere to turn when I start pining for Canadian accents. If I make it back to the UK, of course, which is still up in the air.

Anyhow, I just thought some non-Canadians might be interested. Unfortunately, the CBC doesn't have "Listen Again" features on its website so if you miss a show that isn't one of the three (!) they podcast, you're out of luck. The Vinyl Cafe is a decent programme, not uproariously funny or anything but a gently humourous show to keep one company.

For CBC comedy content, I'm personally more into (current) Madly Off In All Directions and (past) Royal Canadian Air Farce, The Frantics, The Dead Dog Cafe, The Muckraker and Wayne and Shuster. But that's just me; Vinyl Cafe is actually quite popular.
