Alarming

In an attempt to get me to wake up at the time I actually want to wake up at, I have started using an old wind-up alarm clock. You know the type that may wake you up well, but consequently knocks 6 months off your life every time the alarm bell rings due to how loud and scary it is.

Anyway, I don't know how people got by in the days of these wind-up merchants being the only available alarm clocks. When wound up fully, mine still loses about 20 minutes during the night. On top of this, the only way you can set the alarm is by using a third-hand and hopefully aim it somewhere around the time you want waking up.

Now, I am fortunate in that for one I do not have to be up for any particular reason very often and two I also have a 'The Simpsons' electronic alarm clock, which may not wake me up very well, but it does keep an accurate time to look at.

2 alarm clocks eh? Yes, you are right, that does pretty much make me the coolest motherfucker that ever did live.
