Have you tried putting on some headphones and listening to a good song while you do your home work?

i figured a song is a lot less annoying then a whining dog.
thats what i do when im trying to read something really long on the internet,
and my family will not shut up in the background. i cannot tune them out worth
a crap.(i guess i want to hear what they and ease drop) LOL

but yet its not annoying when i listen to a song and read.
