The Wrong Side of the Bed

[shanmonster]

So the phone rings this morning while I'm still abed. I jerk out of sleep and grab the phone. "Hello," says the disembodied female voice. "Please stay on the line for an important business call." And then a string orchestra begins to play.

"Fuck that noise," I say, and crawl back into bed. My clock goes off what feels like moments later, but in actuality, an hour or more had passed.

Thank you, spammers, for wrecking my sleep. Bastards.

On a mostly unrelated note, do you ever wake up with the chorus of a song running through your head? I often do. Today's featured song is "I'm Being Swallowed By a Boa Constrictor."

Oh fiddle. He's up to my middle.

I often wake to tunes in my head, sometimes
original and sometimes songs I've heard. I
wish I had any schooling whatsoever in archi-
tecture and music, because my dreams would
keep me inspired for life.

I prefer more realistic songs, like great big globs of greasy grimy gopher guts. :)

My boyfriend, since reading your post, will not stop saying "fuck that noise" at any given interval. He's *quite* taken with the phrase. It's driving me mad, I tell you! Mad!!

Shan has been saying "Jesus fuck" more than "Fuck that noise" lately. Tell your b/f to get with the program. ;-D
