'Out Of Gas'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I HATE being woken up by kitchen noises. OH my god, the HATE.
Right there with you on that. And funfun, my dad is physically incapable of setting a kettle on a burner without it sounding like the whole thing is collapsing. He can't even add sweetener to his coffee quietly. It's actually quite a feat, how dang LOUD the man can be without even opening his mouth.
So I got singing AND kitchen noises in the morning and I am not a morning person.
Kinda surprising I'm not locked up.
Jesse (I think?), they changed the headling to "Mom: Jackson pleaded to sleep with my son." I guess someone agreed with us.
Phew. Thanks for the update.
"Tales of Great Ulysses" on the radio now...R.I.P. Joyce.
Kitchen noises when I am not in the kitchen=someone else making me food, which is always a delightful thing to contemplate.
This is my feeling. (And on those rare occasions when this turns out not to be the case, one can usually turn the situation to one's advantage by pointing out that one has been woken up by the sounds of breakfast, and now wants some.)
OK, I'm a bad Buffista because my brain just went, "I know Joyce wrote Ulysses, but hasn't he been dead for a long time?" before I realized what erika was talking about.
Vonnie, get out of my brain!
Should've typed "Summers", huh?ETA: Maybe I'm the bad Buffista because I only read the other Joyce, once for school and once because if he upsets People Like That enough to ban there must be something in it. I think I got it a little but not all of it.
Tales of the Gold Monkey!
Loved that show.
I am a light sleeper so anything wakes me up. Dawn, birds, cars, flushing, etc. Generally I am the first one up. The boys wake up easily enough although I use the singing when gentle requests fail. Showtunes always. They may choose alarms one day, but I'll still wake up because I don't trust alarms.

Dude. I wasn't even able to get through it once. But then, I have the attention span of a gnat.
Joyce & Ulysses is one of those things you get by cultural osmosis, even if you haven't read the source material. It's sort of like how I recognize all the lines from the Godfather movies without ever having watched them.
