Being an alarm clock

In a few hours, they will run the Japanese F1 Grand Prix. Unfortunately, for us on the East coast of the US, that means it is on television at 2am. I am not going to disrupt my biorhythms to watch it, but The Man wants to see it. I suggested he go to bed at 8pm, and then get up to watch it, so he'd still get some sleep. While he was sleeping, The Boy and I watched Sharknado 2. Until recently, I hadn't seen any of the Sharknado movies. Now we've seen two of them. They are really terrible movies, but I will watch Sharknado 3 when it comes on Netflix, because it seems like a pop culture obligation. If you didn't already dislike sharks, the idea that sharks being tossed through the air by tornadoes and then landing at your feet would still be interested in eating you instead of being splattered into chum, then you will find Sharknado will give you new reasons to fear them. But the time has come and I have alerted The Man that it's 11 pm, time for him to get up. I made coffee and turned the pot off so it wouldn't be stewed when he got up. He just has to nuke it cup by cup in the microwave. The guinea pigs are fed and given their nightly treat. Having fulfilled my duty as an alarm clock. I am off to bed.

I have never watched Sharknado, I am pretty sure I do not like this kind of movie.

No, they are pretty awful. Bad acting, worse script, stupid premise. Just the sort of thing a teen boy likes.

@Rollo1 Sometimes I do not care about the show, I enjoy sitting in front of the TV and think to nothing, just relax.

Sharknado is not and will never be on my list of movies to watch.

@Inlemay Far fetched? Are you saying that you don't believe that a tornado could pick up just sharks from the ocean (no other fish) and swirl them around hundreds of feet into the air and then rain them down on a city where they would fall hundreds of feet to the ground but still be trying to wriggle around and eat anyone who was close enough?

Ah, I see. The F1 Grand Prix is happening. That's why there were so many people at the train station on Friday. Everyone is coming here to see the race!

He is mostly quiet when I watch my occasional stupid shows. I think that is what TV is for - mindless entertainment

There was an occupation of a Knocker-up in Victorian Britain, whose duty was to hit windows in the morning with a long stick and wake up people

If he came and rapped on my windows, I would go outside and rap him.

Trust me, The Man is glad we watched it while he was asleep. Now he doesn't have to sit through it.

I don't think I'll bother with 'Sharknardo', it sounds like a contender for 'worst film ever!
