Yesterday I was walking the dog past this house in Brentwood, and I heard (I’m not even kidding) a rooster crowing. Being the inquisitive person that I am, I of course had to look through their gate, and there I saw– a chicken coop. In Brentwood. Right there on Bundy.
If you’ll refer to my earlier Andy Dick story, you’ll see where I’m going with this. In case you don’t live here, it costs at least $1 million to buy a house in that neighborhood. And, once again, I’m going to have to say that if I’m paying approximately $13,000 / month in mortgage for my house, and right next door I have to hear your ROOSTER crowing at 5:30 every morning, I’m comin’ right over there to make me some chicken pot pie out of your rooster.
It sounds funny, but you know that’s what his neighbor is thinking, probably right now and every morning. I’m saying, I think people’s civility toward their fellow man is slipping. I mean, I get totally mad when my next door neighbor turns his stereo up too loud on the weekend. I have a friend in San Francisco whose downstairs neighbor uses a power drill at 4 in the morning. And, when WE lived in San Francisco, we had a neighbor who snored SO LOUD, we had to pound on the wall every night to make him wake up and roll over. That is, unless he had a guy over, and then….well, you can just imagine what it sounded like then.
Yeah, I’m getting ready to just move to an organic fruit farm somewhere remote, where there are no people. Ten years of city living might finally have caught up with me, because now I see a rooster in someone’s yard and I don’t think it’s quirky. I think it’s wrong, and that this person must be stopped.
Is this why I love the show Dexter so much? You tell me. On a positive note, did you see that Patriots game? Awesome. Tom Brady is dreamy. We had nachos for lunch while we watched football. THAT is the way to spend a Sunday. Also, I got a ton of work done on my NaNoWriMo book, but I can’t seem to get the word counter thing to work, so you’ll just have to take my word for it. It’s going to be awesome!
