Hard Work and Soft Rock, Perfect Together

One of the more annoying things about having work done on your house every night until 8 PM (besides the banging and sawing and the living in one cramped room thing-- we have to move the couch every time we want to watch TV so both of us can see around the refrigerator) is the fact that I can't choose what music to listen to-- the workers listen to a soft rock station . . . yesterday I heard Bryan Adams and Blue Oyster Cult's "Burning for You"-- while this is generally annoying, it's occasionally entertaining, like when Leo was signing along to Peter Gabriel in his heavy Mexican accent: "eenyereeyes, eenyereyes, eeenyereyes, eenyereeeeyes."

Just be glad they are not playing Bachata, or you would feel like you are spending your life in a Mexican flea market, and that week you just spent in "Ireland" would seem so bad.

Mexican music with the drumbeat that goes, Doon Ki Doon Ki Doon Ki Ki Doon Ki--mixed with latin keyboards and high pitched, plinky guitar.
