Out, damned beep!

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!

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.

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.
