tonight i cooked myself some beef with bok choy. nicely braised meat with onions, garlic, and greens. then i sat down to eat and was catching the end half of an episode of jeopardy. ah, nice evening, right? so before i can watch the final jeopardy question the smoke detector goes off.
beeeooooo beeeoooo beeeooooooooo beeeeeooooooooo
gah, this is not the first time this has happened. so opened all the windows and fanned like crazy and the the thing finally shut off. and i was about to head out the door for a walk with some friends, when...
beeeooooo beeeoooo beeeooooooooo beeeeeooooooooo
again! so i go fan crazy and open all the windows again. the more i listen to the alarm the more muted it began to sound. hmm. anyway, so i left a little window fan on in the kitchen to blow out some of the smoke and headed out.
an hour later i get back and the alarm is still going! my neighbors must hate me. so now i'm sitting in my apartment chilled by the night air as it de-smokes my living space. i could be sitting in a room full of smoke and not even know it. great, i could just take a nap and never get up. geez.
