Rude awakenings
Dec. 1st, 2007 10:14 amI was awakened this morning by a strange crashing sound. I reluctantly decided to investigate, hampered somewhat by my lack of glasses. Fortunately, I found nothing, beyond a pile of plates that had fallen over, and returned to bed.
Were I to have encountered an intruder, I suspect I'd have been at something of a disadvantage. But perhaps not so much as might be initially supposed, for the sight of my puny self, hair sticking out at all angles like Alan Moore with bed hair, desperately squinting into the darkness might have prompted enough hilarity for an expert housebreaker to have been reduced to unprofessional giggles.
