Scene one of chapter 7 of Secrets is done! Go me! I got over 1500 words written today, which, as I am a slow writer (and had to keep stopping to check canon references and styles of armor -- grrr, evil research), is quite good.

Drunken people are still wandering around, but it's settled down to the normal Friday night noise level.

However, Rajesh managed to set off the fire alarm -- the really ear-wrenchingly loud one with blinding flashee-thingies that can only be turned off the by fire department, which it calls -- by burning some rice around 9:00pm.

This has been a bad day for fire alarms -- two in less than twelve hours!

I think I may be the only person left in our house who hasn't set off the fire alarm at some point.

I had to set off the alarm on purpose this week. Some brain donor from the alarm monitoring mob wanted to test the system and asked that I set it off. For at least 60 seconds, but no more than 60 seconds. I mentioned that she was an idiot, didn't I?

In the end she decided on 40 seconds, which is an amazingly long length of time when you're standing under the screamer with the dogs howling in protest.

I think my ears are still shot, so I feel your pain.
