I do have a Clocky (Paramount swag from a few years back - no idea what movie they were trying to promote with it), but we gave it to Dylan to play with instead of using it as an alarm. If it's still working in 15 years he can take it to college.
I'll be in my bunk.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh, I ordered this alarm clock today: [link] (it's a kit)
The Ice Tube clock ($70 USD) gets its brilliant blue display thanks to an old-school Russian-issued VFD (vacuum fluorescent display) tube. It’s set inside of a spiffy clear acrylic shell, which lets you see its internal circuitry whenever you want. Each tube has 8 glowy blue digits, as well as a dot indicator for PM and an alarm on/off indicator.
While the Ice Cube kit includes everything you need to build a standard alarm clock with day/date functionality, both hardware and software are open source, so you can mod this to do something else if you want – say display text messages or run the time backwards.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
It's still 90 degrees out. I thought it would get cooler but it only got dark.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
When I met you you were like "Oh pooh, I burned the dang muffins." Now you go into a bar and sailors come running out.

Oh, I ordered this alarm clock today:
You know, Tommy, that you can get pre-made clocks that don't require lethal high voltage.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Pfft. What mad scientist would want *that*?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My alarm clock has wifi and Pandora (and flickr, and news, and...) and a touchscreen that requires gentle pressure. Needless to say, I wake up very crisply. This is really not slightly a problem for me. I wish it were.

not your mom's socks.
Can't sleep. This stinks.
Eta: apologies for all the whining of late. And thanks so much for the support through this mess.
