monday morning

Waking up was a difficult proposition. I set my alarm for an hour earlier than usual, not so I could start the day early, but so I could start it on time. The strategy worked, but my room smells like dog--I let the roommate's pooch crash on my floor last night. He was stoked, but since he took his sweet time shuffling into my room, a giant moth got in, enamored by my television set. I used a plastic cup and the instruction booklet from a video game to safely escort him back out into nature, where he belongs. Sorry, buddy. The television's mine.
