An alien has been staring at me all night.
A few weeks ago I bought a new radio alarm clock because I thought it looked cute - a small silver box, from which shines a large amount of blue light. It also projects the current time onto the wall, using a red LED. Immediate design flaw: when the radio is on it displays the frequency on the front, not the ten. If it's dark enough you can see the LED, but this is a clock for the dark.
But my sleep is now disrupted. Maybe I've over tired. Maybe I've buggered my biorhythms again. Partly it's early dawns. Last week I went to bed with the duvet poking out of its cover a little bit, and woke up with the two entirely separate. I am clearly being a tosser. But I'm sleeping for about an hour, until 2ish, and then fragmented sleep all night. This means it's often gone ten before I'm up (I don't need to be at precise places and times at the moment) and I'm falling asleep in the afternoon.
Last night I saw a little red demon on the ceiling. It must have been something like 4:21 or something like:
. _
/_ / _/ /

Turned on it's side. As my eyes focused and unfocused, it seemed to move; the four was a hat, the colon blinking eyes, the two legs and body, the one feet; the one becoming a two looked like kicking. And my brain, on the edge of sleep, was clearly animating it.
Waaaaa.
