phosfateNew alarm clock. Makes bird sounds rather than stabbing me in the head with a big knife.
Quality of life significantly improved for $13. Actually I bought it with a gift certificate, so $0.
*pleased face*

Date: 2006-03-23 06:47 pm (UTC)My alarm makes fake-sounding electronic versions of New Age-y chimes and flutes and stuff. Not terrible, but, no, Mr. New Age Alarm, I *don't* need the volume to increase with each repetition. I just can't move that fast.
So birdies might be a pleasant change.
Also, the current alarm clock has a "sample" button to play all the alarms. It cannot be deactivated and so the cat activates it occasionally (by accident) when she walks on the clock. My old kitty, Lovebug, started to do that by accident. Then she would do it deliberately so that I would get up and (eventually) feed her.

Date: 2006-03-24 12:15 am (UTC)As for my alarm, it's the standard beeping noise. But I've started to block it out by now. These days it doesn't start to wake me up until around the fourth or fifth time I hit snooze. Even after that I abuse the snooze button a little further.

Date: 2006-03-24 06:31 pm (UTC)I have never been able to get used to the beep. It's just not going to happen. (I also have to keep the clock out of reach, so I can't hit the snooze button.)

Date: 2006-03-24 02:28 pm (UTC)You...you know not to reach over and blindly punch the snooze button on the bird, right? Right?
Now I'm wanting different sounds. Foul-mouthed parrot. Hyperactive terrier. Martian Fighting Machine heat ray.
