Last night after I finished a few chapters of “Dawn Treader”, and Sherlock has nestled himself a few inches away from ACWF’s delicate bits (instead of mine, for once) I quickly fell asleep.
BEEEP BEEEP BEEEP
I woke up and sat straight up in bed, trying to figure out what time it was and why the fire alarm was going off. I looked around frantically and could smell no smoke, nor see any fire. I was about to jump out of bed when I realized the sound was no longer, um, sounding. I figured it was just a dream because neither Sherlock nor ACWF were awake. So I laid my head back down to sleep.
BEEEP BEEEP BEEEP
What in the hell? I was awake enough at this point to see that it was only 12:30, and that I had only been asleep for about an hour. I tried to figure out where the noise had come from, looking first at the fish tank to see if the fish had been running some sort of escape procedure, and then looking at the now yawning Sherlock, who looked utterly pissed to be awake. I didn’t feel bad for him though, because he wakes me up by digging his claws into my beanbag.
BEEEP BEEEP BEEEP
Okay. So the beeping was coming from my phone. Had I missed a call when I had fallen asleep? Who was calling this late? Is this about my grandmother? I wonder if my grandmother is okay?
I picked up the phone, and lifted it open.
YOU HAVE 1 NEW MESSAGE FROM: Jim
Jim? What the hell is Jim calling about this late? Oh yeah, he’s in Arizona and it’s only 8 there and he thinks it’s 8 everywhere.
VIEW MESSAGE FROM JIM?
I push “OK” hoping that everything is as the button says.
Jim had sent me 2 words. Two words that were immediately hilarious, depressing, and at the same time, old news.
DELAY INDICTED
I appreciate that he took the time to spell out the word “Indicted”. It’s hilarious because he’s the only person in the world who would text about something like this. It’s depressing that I expect little more than most of our politicians eventually being indicted.
