this might be the place

There is a truly spectacular block party going on outside my house. 

No, really. 

There are, like, five houses participating in this thing. And while, woo, go block, have some fun, it's apparently your birthday, and all that, The Handjive is on and no one is dancing. I can't even begin to describe how much of a crime against humanity that is. If The Handjive is on, you have to dance or you have to be declared legally dead. I'm sorry, that's just how it goes. 

I may also be kind of bitter because I have a migraine and because I can't see my beautiful Reticulated Python show on National Geographic Channel since I can't hear anything over the pounding bass line, but still...

Shut up. 

ETA:  The DJ is now playing "Who Let the Dogs Out" and trying to get the audience to bark. The madness needs to stop.
