I was planning on shaking my head while smiling and saying, "Touche."

So I was at the Mothership most of the day cleaning. I stopped back at the apartment to check on the cats and found myself quickly distracted by a damn beeping noise. BEEEP! It was one beep every minute or so, so not very easy to track down. I checked all of the smoke detectors. BEEEP! I took the batteries out of three of them. Still beeping. I had to leave to pick up Jake, Mooch, and Janey, so I couldn't look anymore, even though I thought I had found BEEEP! everything that would possibly beep like that.

Tonight, as I stepped in the door, BEEEP! I heard the beep and remembered how I had told myself I'd find it later.

As it turns out, one of the smoke detectors still beeps even after the battery is removed. What the fuck!?! I've replaced the battery with one from another detector and have decided that the creation of a high-pitched, somewhat infrequent, easily-hidden beeping device would be a hell of a good way to drive someone nuts. BEEEP!

Happy friggen birthday to me.

BEEEP!
