-Alarm system quote: "READY TO ARM" (why must they use the word "arm"? It sounds so menacing)-

I remember not much of my dream last night, as my (clock) alarm woke me up this morning. I remember saying that it was no wonder something cost a lot. Hm.

I may not like cleaning bathrooms, but one household chore I do enjoy is folding towels. Not anything else, understand; t-shirts especially seem to intentionally take on mountains of creases and wad up when my fingers so much as brush against them. But there's something profoundly satisfying about folding the thick terrycloth in half, then shimmying the edges together and folding down again, then mounding the narrow result into perfect thirds. Perhaps I like it because towels don't show small imperfections in folding, like, say, t-shirts do; towels are so thick though that a small bulge here or there just adds to the charm. Or maybe it's the delicious not-quite-firm, not-quite-soft rectangular package that the towel ends as -- perfectly sized and shaped for stowage. Then again, I do also like the fact that a few seemingly random folds somehow (almost magically) manage to produce a towel-bundle with the monogram or other design neatly centered on the front. Looking at that end result makes me feel like I'm in some fancynose hotel rather than my own home.

Reality check. Towels and peas...
