Wake upsy

I have to hand it to my new CD alarm clock... I haven't overslept once this week (maybe partly because I haven't figured out how to snooze it, but whatever) and waking up to nice music instantly puts me in a better mood than a beep. It does a thing where the volume starts low and increases over a few seconds, and I think this is helping too... just in terms of reducing the AGH! WHAT'S THAT NOISE? reaction. If anyone still doubts that my clock is cool, note simply that I had time this morning to write this post, and wash a couple of pots and pans too. ;)

I do think it might be smart to stop using my favorite track from The Minstrel, though. I can see how using the same song for one's alarm clock for a few months could ruin it for casual listening forever.

And the crazy guy on the bus said:

"For the cost of just one day of the Kuwait occupation I could keep those serial killers from hatching."

You tell it, brother.
