Out, damned beep!

[kalleah]

Something in my bedroom is beeping. It is not an alarm clock (mine or DH's), the a/c, my cell phone, my iPod, or anything else that I can find. Same thing happened on Saturday. DH can hear it too so I'm not imagining it.

Several things are possible:
1. Someone is messing with me.
2. My neighbor has a loud alarm clock that goes off at inappropriate times.
3. We have lost an unidentified piece of technology that is trying to phone home.
4. I'm in a psych experiment gone wrong (see item 1).

GAAAAAAAAAAAAA

::points to time::
I should've been asleep 2 hours ago!

Is it your smoke alarm beeping because the battery is getting ready to go dead?

Mine was doing it last week....

Is it your smoke alarm

Good thought. I'm actually fairly compulsive about fire and am one of the people who replace the smoke alarm batteries when daylight savings time changes. It's not coming from there, anyway -- it's low down, near my window a/c unit, but not the unit either. I turned it off to try and isolate the sound just to be sure.

I second that. Definitely check the smoke alarm. =)

Wish it were that easy ... but no.

That's incredibly irritating. The last time something similar happened to me it turned out the cats had switched the mini-stereo on downstairs in the middle of the night.

That would drive you nuts, wouldn't it?

And I love the chameleon icon. Hee. Those are so cool.

heh. Hope you found the source. Last time that happened to me, it was Chris's watch stuck between the head of the bed and the wall.

Yeah, it's something like that. It sounds like a very tiny alarm clock - not just one beep, but a beep-beep-beep-beep alarm sound. Neither one of us wear a watch, and I've found all the usual small electronic suspects. I'm tempted to hop out the window onto the roof and make sure one of my crazy neighbors hasn't dropped a watch outside or something like.

Reminds me that the last time I heard repetitive beeping, a musician neighbor had left a metronome outside on the roof after playing guitar. Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Is it still going? Oh God, you poor thing.

Five bucks says it's exactly something like that. You know, once you find it you'll realize it was completely obvious.

A metronome? Seriously? OMG I'd have to hurt someone.

[kalleah.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the metronome was actually a little funny, all things considered. At that point, I at least knew that he'd been outside playing guitar, so there was context.

I have moved the bed, the dresser, looked under the mattress (the Princess and the Peep, God Damn It), and cursed a blue streak. The DH has been known to sleep through fire alarms, so it isn't troubling him.

I now know how those damn drums drove You-Know-Who crazy. I feel the need to rip a hole in space-time myself.

I vote number 3

[kalleah.livejournal.com]

Probably. I am hunting for it with a freaking hammer at this point.

[runriggers.livejournal.com]

Time to renovate the home then is it? I'd be interesting in knowing what it is when you find it

[karibu.livejournal.com]

Oy, I hate it when that happens. It's like trying to find the mosquito buzzing around your head, or figure out who it is that's staring at you. You know it's there... but where the muffins is it?

1. Who would do that?
2. Two words: Louisville slugger.
3. This strikes me as cute in an "Exocomp-vs-E.T." but STFU kind of way.
4. The third movie will be, "Kalleah Almighty" (see item 1)

(My DH doth think that this could be thy rub.)

(My DH doth think that this could be thy rub.)

I am familiar with that particular gadget, and I am Very Very Very Sorry that my brother and I joked about putting one of them in my dad's office. But it's not that. It's an almost alarm-clock multiple beeping.

I did question DH about who has had access to our apartment, though. And the survey of the roof outside turned up nothing.

I'm gonna have to smite someone, or something.
