Blair pulled the pillow tighter around his ears as he huddled in a ball under his blankets. Ok Jim, I normally wouldn't mind, but this is starting to get old real fast and I would really appreciate it if you would just - HKNNNNRGH - stop snoring. HKNNNNRGH You know man, I really wouldn't mind this. I mean, I've slept through car rides, I've slept through some of the worst storms of this century, I've even slept through Larry getting out of his cage and bashing on the wall of the warehouse for three hours that one time.... HKNNNNRGH But THIS..... HKNNNNRGH ......How the hell am I supposed to sleep through THIS? I can't even get to sleep, although I think I could if you would just SHUT UP.... HKNNNNRGH ....for a few minutes so I can grab some deep deltas and pull my own funky little zoneout where your snores are concerned. HKNNNNRGH Come on man, is it too much to ask? I'm only here for a week, can you at least let me SLEEP? Please? HKNNNNRGH Guess not. Greeeeeeaaaaaat. Maybe if I stick my head under the mattress HKNNNNRGH Nope. Up against the laws of cosmic vibration, Sandburg. You could've heard THAT one if you lived at the U. HKNNNNRGH Maybe I should try that? Or maybe I should sleep in the 'Vair? Nah, too cold. HKNNNNRGH On the other hand..... HKNNNNRGH Right. Right, That's it. I'm getting up. I'm going up there and I'm rolling Mr. Alpha Male Super Sentinel Snoremaster onto his side. HKNNNNRGH Blair poked a hesitant toe out from under the blanket. MAN that is COLD! He snapped it back under, trying to wrap his other toes around it to warm it back up. Summer in Cascade. Fantastic. Ok, Ok, I guess I can go without sleep for a week, I've done it before. HKNNNNRGH But I gotta admit, it's gonna be a LONG week HKNNNNRGH You said it, man.
Jim jogged down the stairs. "Morning Chief. How was your first night?" He stopped short at the sight of his partner's red rimmed eyes. "You look like hell," he said, concerned. "You sleep all right?" Blair held up a threatening hand. "One word, Jim," he gritted out between his teeth. "Just one. More. Word." Jim backed off, hands held up placatingly. "Easy, Conan. I think you should stay here and try and get some sleep. I don't need you at the station today. Ok?" Blair looked at him for a long moment. He tries so hard, he's so cheerful... I'm gonna KILL him. He grabbed his bag off the bench. "I'm just going shopping,
Jim." I hear Tandy's got some good white noise generators..... |
