Alarming Wake-up
May 9, 2008I live in apartment full of people who love car alarms and love ignoring them. They’re pretty much unnecessary and completely annoying, especially in the morning during summertime. Sorry, I don’t have any finals and am done with school. Comm major.
Any way, this morning at approximately 8:30 a.m. I was awoken by a car alarm, but not even one of the usuals.
[Sidebar:
The first car alarm is rhythmic honking, on the annoying scale I'd say it's a 7 but more or less depending on duration of alarm.
The second is variety mix-up bag, including annoying siren, annoying honk, annoying screech and annoying beep. Grade on the scale: 15. See Dane Cook for further explanation.]
This one was a whole new animal. Irregular honking which I swear was just a jerk honking the car outside, but I really think it was an alarm. I’ll do some further investigating.
You should go see this movie when it comes out…

At the start of the film, David Owen, a middle-aged lawyer with a hot cellist wife (Bridget Moynahan) and a young daughter (Gabrielle Brennan), has already gained a Gotham-wide reputation as “the Rectifier,” a mysterious hoodie-wearing figure who prowls the city with a tool belt, destroying all sources of needless racket (car alarms, backup beepers, malfunctioning doorbells) and leaving behind a telltale sticker as his calling card.
That sounds like a great movie. I’m carrying on the tradition in my apartments.
