No, We Don’t Live Here Alone - Unfortunately
Filed Under (Playing House, Thailand Tales) by iris on 20-08-2008
Being in a relationship has many perks, but I think I actually have more than my fair share by living with the boyfriend. Not only do I have a man who's sexy, smart, and funny, I actually have a man who has a fantastic home theater system. Who would've thought I would ever kinda own (I imagine) a 50-inch high definition LCD TV, a PlayStation3 console that plays hi-def Blu-ray discs, a 7.1 speaker system with a kick-ass amplifier, and almost a hundred Blu-ray movies and about 600 standard definition DVDs, none of them bootlegs? The man even has an electric couch that reclines at the push of a button! Yes, I am indeed living the good life in high definition movie heaven.
Our next-door neighbors, on the other hand, are living in hell. Naturally, razor sharp high definition picture comes with stunning, floor-shaking, earth-quaking, hi-def sound that could literally knock the socks off any unsuspecting soul within earshot. We've had people banging on our door more times than I can count in one hand, usually in the middle of some exciting car chase, or after a massive explosion. So in consideration to our good (yeah, right) neighbors, we turn the volume down just a tad bit. It's a free country, after all, and we still do have the right to enjoy all the best features that our movies offer.
Well, nobody's banged on our door for the past 3 weeks or so. We assumed that everyone's gotten used to the whole idea of having a veritable IMAX theater in our building and they're finally leaving us alone, so I'm not really sure what could've provoked this little surprise we found stuck on our door:
Maybe it was the endless roaring of dinosaurs in Jurassic Park (I forced the boyfriend to let me watch the entire series again), or the nth repetition of P.S. I Love You (also my doing), or even Jason Statham's sexy Cockney accent in The Bank Job. Whatever the reason, all I know is I'm very impressed because the note hardly has any grammar or spelling mistakes – phenomenal for a Thai person. That, and I'll probably stick a packet of earplugs on the poor sod's door.
