TV Noises

There's a commercial for Dell Computers that's running pretty heavy on CNN right now (it's on every commercial break). It's the one where the computer folks are in a boot camp environment. And in the background of the commercial, there's a noise. It's a quick, electronic beeping. Like three beeps, right in succession.

And those three beeps are the exact same beeps that the cordless phone makes when its handset battery is getting low.

And each time the commercial's come on, the noise has come, and I've gotten up to check the phone, which is in its cradle. I even asked the empty apartment why the hell the phone was beeping.

It took the fourth airing of the commercial for me to finally make the connection.

I really, really need more sleep.
