I just wanted to take a nap, that's all...

This evening, I tried to take a nap in the hour before my friend was going to call about fixing dinner.  This is what happened instead.

First, the formerly-latent creative part of my brain decided to start spouting off ideas really urgently...AGAIN.  It seems to hibernate while I'm awake and then wake up with a bang as soon as I try to fall asleep.

Then I noticed the drummers outside.  They drummed a really repetitive rhythm almost non-stop for at least an hour or an hour-and-a-half.

Then my fridge decided to act up.  While it is useful to have a fridge acting as a makeshift bedside table, I clearly didn't think the consequences all the way through before I put it right next to my bed.

Finally, just when I was starting to filter out the distractions and drift off, the phone rang.  C'est la vie.

(and then I found five dollars)

P.S.  First person to point out the pop-culture reference in this blog wins imaginary internet cookies!

Edit: I have to give half-points for Fat Albert and "Hey hey hey", but that's actually not the reference I was thinking of.  Also, in terms of the reference, I ONLY want the name of the show (there are people reading who do not need any spoilers).  I'll know if you actually know what I'm talking about (as opposed to a shot in the dark) by who you are.
