Wake up call

[hannahchan]

For years, I've had my clock-radio set to NPR.

Then, a couple days ago, I woke to this:

...tied their hands behind their backs and shot each girl in the back of the head at point-blank range...

I don't think I can do another morning like that. What do you wake up to in the morning? Rock music? Classical? Plain ol' beeps?

Beeps, but not too raucous ones. The wrong kind of beeps make me wake up in a panic.

I use my cell phone as an alarm clock. It's all about the multi-tasking.

I can guarantee you I would forget to charge that mother.

sexy moaning? the sound of the alarm clock shattering as I smacked til kingdom come?

but seriously folks, I'm vary 'tween the npr & 91ish classical, or 92Q, but in the winter, when the daylight no longer suffices I very much enjoy the gentle wakey blinkylight of my Big Ben Moonbeam (with followup alarm). It really works and is not nearly as ugly & 'spensive as The New Age Clocks ! Now mind you, the vintage one has a cranky 50 yr-old earsplitting bell, but the new repro should be a little kinder & gentler. Plus it has a snooze! I've been meaning to buy one to relegate the ancient to the guest wing at Ho Manor. You like? I have a shopping cart open.... ;> Then there's the radio version!!

I'm always leery of analog clocks, because often the hands make little ticking or whirring noises that I CAN HEAR! YES I CAN! LATE AT NIGHT AND WHY WON'T IT STOP ARRRRRGH?

Classical, though, might be a nice change.
