death and drek!

so, i don't have anything on the schedule for thursday, having dropped logic, so i was going to make the trek to church for the 6:30am liturgy and then go to the HOMERATHON for most of the day. so, i set my alarming clock for 5:06 and go to bed. but i wake up at 6:30am to see the sun rise and i'm like, did the alarming clock go off and i turned if off a lay down for a second and fell asleep again? but i realize that is not the case and i look at the alarm: i set it for 5:06 PM. d'oh! speaking of which, yesterday morning at like [ungodly hour]am, my neighbor's alarming clock went off and kept going for like 15 minutes. apparently nobody there was home and it was keeping me up. so i moved into the living room and slept on the couch. and then last night, for whatever bloody reason, his alarm went off at 12:45am. wtf, mate? it went off for like twenty minutes right when i was trying to sleep until 5am. twice, twice in one day this kid's incompetence with alarms gets me.

in other news: my roommate used his alarming clock like 12 times this morning. wtf, mate? set an alarm for when you will get up. no snooze, no lying there immobile while the alarm is going off, no resetting the alarm for 30 minutes later, no going off when you are not present. anything else is a disturbance to you, your roommates, and your neighbors. there is a reason i only use my alarm when i absolutely must.

considering writing a fatwah to the floor's listserv about the environmental consequences of noise. IT CAUSES STOMACH CANCER IN THOSE WHO MAKE IT.
