Now if it could also keep you asleep until your wakeup time, I'd shell out $50 extra for it.

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.

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

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

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

My alarm clock knows the days of the week (and has a "weekend cancel"),

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.

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

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...

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

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.]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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...

I only went once or twice, but I always really liked the staff, and the vet was fine. I'm not much of a lover of healthcare providers, in general, though -- I usually think they're fine and that's as far as it goes.

I've got one like that. Two alarms, too, and you can set them to radio, buzzer, or cd. It's a Sony something or other.

ETA: Pretty much an older version of this - [link] - but not quite as cool. (Nap timer?! Custom snooze?!)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

If I take mine to the vet one at a time, Oz will hiss at both me and Sylvester for a week after Sylvester's visit.

My Oz(zie) does that anyway. The very best was when they were both in the hospital, but isolated from one another, for several days. It was over a week before Ozzie stopped growling non-stop, including when he was eating.

Of course, my laughing at him probably didn't help.

Grr. I just found 20% off Robinson's May coupons (all merchandise) in the break room.

I don't even like Robinson's May. Not to mention the whole "wait till next year" thing.
