At 6 o clock in the morning, I was still sleeping wonderfully until suddenly a big bang woke me up. I decided that the checking-out-what-it-was part could be delayed for an hour, and wanted to turn around and go back to sleep, when the beeping started.
IEPIEPIEPIEPIEPIEPIEPIEPIEPIE!!! The smoke alarm had come sailing down the ceiling. IEPIEPIEPIEPIEPIEPIEPIEPIEPIEPIE- "I know! I know!" IEPIEPIEPIEPIEPIEPIEPIEPIEPIEPIE- "Where is the off button!WHEEEREEE IS THE OFF BUTTON!" In a wild panic I pressed the only button I could discover on the thing. IEPIEPIEPIEPIEPIEPIEPIEPIEPIE- It didn't work. IEPIEPIEPIEPIEPIEPIEPIEPIE-- "Stop it!" Shaking didn't help either. IEPIEPIEPIEPIEPIEPIEPIEPIEPIE- Ah. Twist to open. IEPIEPIEPIEPIEPIEPIEPIEPIEPIE- "Raaaaaaah!" I yanked the lid thing off the battery. IEPIE. Pfffft. Silence. Lovely silence. I tossed the thing on the countertop. IEPIEPIEPIEPIEPIEPIE!! The battery was touching the lid thing again, that villain! One final seperation later, I went back to bed. That's when I started to ponder fondly on carbon-monoxide poisoning. Ahhhh.
