Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I desperately want Clocky, but it might lead to divorce.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Okay, that sleeptracker is going on my list.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's a pretty cool gadget. Now if it could also keep you asleep until your wakeup time, I'd shell out $50 extra for it.

Other recommendations: bluetooth or something to a base unit, no need to make the wrist thing a watch. Just a sensor. Could probably increase the volume that way.

Now, of course, I want an alarm clock that I can set via my PC, allowing fancy shit like knowing my calendar.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Ooh, yeah.

My alarm clock knows the days of the week (and has a "weekend cancel"), which is pretty neat already, but I'd love to be able to tell it when holidays are too.

Hells yeah. But from that review, at least the fact that I never sleep through the night anymore won't totally screw up the end result.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I want an alarm that I can set over the internet, for when I'm away from my body.

That is cool. My thing is that I need to be up by 5:45 five times a week, 8:00 once, and then Saturday doesn't matter.

My Clie came with an alarm software that could handle that -- five different alarms that you could set for any day of the week combos, but I tried to export it to the Tungsten and no dice. As much as the Palm is a suboptimal alarm clock, I may go Handango shopping.

Jess, is it the Neverlate one, or another?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Trudy, it's the Cathedral Animal Hospital maybe on like 101st or something? Just west of Broadway.

That's my new guy! OK, I'm glad you liked him. Like I said, he seemed fine, I'm just mourning the one who retired. It's so hard to vet-love again...

It's a cheapo GE model I got at the drug store across the street -- when I bought it, my only requirements were it had to be under $30, and it had to have a dual alarm (radio and buzzer). The weekend cancel function was a nice surprise. Lemme see if I can track it down online.

[eta: That was easy.]
