Window Speaker Disconnected

I finally had the nerve to open my bedroom window shade today. Granted, I had to engage in some liquid courage beforehand, but the end result was the same (that justification doesn't even make sense). And the window was definitely open at the top, which would account for why the best notes I took were when I was trying to sleep. This blog may suffer because of it, but my REM will thank me. Maybe we'll just set up a permanent webcam outside and hire interns to watch it 'round the clock. Please send all inquiries to "The House with the High Weeds next to the House with the High Decibels."
