The Drone

You hear that? Really, you don't? It's constant droning in my head. I recently moved in to a great apartment complex. It's spacious and clean. It even has central air. According to the managers at the office, it's the only apartment complex in Richmond to offer the luxury. I thought, great. Sign me up. If there is one thing I cannot live without, it is air conditioning. The last few days have been pretty warm. It's standard fare for summer in northern California. It's actually a bit cooler than I was used to in LA. It's cool enough outside that I can just open the window and let the breeze come in. But along with the breeze, I get the dreaded buzzing. That's right. The buzzing of 50 other AC units in this apartment complex. It's enough to drive a man crazy. I'm not just being cheap about it either. There's no reason to waste natural resources when temperatures are under 80. Good thing I just bought these noise isolating headphones. They're rubbish though for only $7 at Fry's.
