murdery

mia ’squeamish’ steinberg actually watched the bbc airing of passion of the christ last night. i opted to go to sleep. i think i made the right choice. mia startles/gets grossed out pretty easily, which is why watching that seems so out of character.

she came to bed around 1pm and woke me up around 1:30 to ask me if i heard ‘that’. i told her that she was freaked out by the snuff film she just watched, but then i heard ‘that’ too.

‘that’ was someone screaming/bellowing at irregular intervals. it didn’t sound like sex, and it was coming from somewhere outside. mia asked me if i thought he was being stabbed. i told her that if he was being stabbed that he would probably be screaming at a higher pitch and that it sounded like he was being bludgeoned. (being in the uk has turned me into miss marple, apparently.)

she asked me to check if i could see anything, so i got myself out of bed and went to the window. nothing doing, i told her. i then added that there were two choices: go outside and give a look-see or go back to bed. she told me not to go outside. i went back to bed.

i didn’t remember that this happened until about noon today and i’m not sure how to find out if someone was beaten to death or not.

    There was a neighbor of mine in NYC who used to have very loud sex on weekend mornings and sounded like Grover from Sesame Street getting beaten/strangled. I rarely slept in.

    haha. that’s awesome/terrible for (almost) everyone.

    i had neighbors in mountain view who used to have sex with the windows open, and the sound dumped out into this echo chamber with doors that we both shared to get into our respective houses and it sounded like they were humping inside my head. i really hated them.
