air conditioner season

it's air conditioner season again... the one in this apartment is not as loud as the one in the last apartments and it does not share a wall with my bedroom and the air vents are not totally uncomfortably placed like the last place, so when it is on (which isn't that often since i like the heat so 80 degrees is usually good for me, i mean, the body is 98.6, after all), it's not that instrusive as background noises go... the tv, on the other hand, has returned as the primary background noise...
