Alarm clocks
My brother-in-law has the worlds most annoying alarm clock. It has this really high pitched beeping noise and it's piercingly loud.
*BEEP-BOOP, BEEP-BOOP, BEEP_BOOP*
Nasty.
So the this last weekend he was out of town and forgot to turn off his alarm, so I had to get up at 7AM on Saturday and Sunday morning to this horrid beeping, almost out of audible range, but not quite.
On Sunday morning I actually had a dream which incorperated the beeping. It was a doozy. Read on for more.
Ok, if you've read this far you must be wondering what kind of strange shit was going on in my dream. Well, I'll tell you:
I was in the courtyard of a cheezy motel, complete with the nasty lime green paint that was badly peeling. For some reason I was there to see someone who ran a software company out of this place. As I'm waking around I start to hear the beeping and wonder where it's coming from. So I go out with my old freind Vince (who just happened to be there) to go find it.
We end up at the door of one of the rooms, where a large Mexican family lives. There are half a dozen little kids running around giggling, because they think it's funny that we hate the beeping. We locate an alarm in the kitchen and no sooner do we turn it off then we hear another. This time it's in a bedroom. We turn that one off, but we still hear the beeping. We head back to the courtyard, where there's an alarm sitting on the lip of the broken down courtyard fountain. Only it's not on! There's still the beeping though....
And then I woke up, realizing that the beeping was real.
