Ok, I'm kinda proud of this.

So due to a lack of foresight on the Noise Temple's renovator's part, the light switch for my room is located on the opposite side of the room from the door. This has resulted in countless haphazard, toe-stubbing, blind journeys across the vast expanse of the room in the middle of the night.

So what does a reasonable person do? Why, build an elaborate (ok, not that elaborate) system of levers and pulleys allowing me to now control the incandescence of my bedroom from the entrance of the room, of course!

So it all starts at the inconveniently-placed light switch, with a taped-on clothespin for added leverage. Two strings allow the toggle to be pulled both up and down, independently.

Eye-hooks guide the strings up the wall, around the room, and over the fireplace/mantle, and then down to the hand-pulls.

Easy as that! Works like a charm.

And here's some oh-so-gorgeous hibiscus kombucha, carbonating itself to perfection. I sampled some while bottling it, and I have to say it was quite delicious.

Oh baby, things sure are cookin at the Noise Temple. You better get on down here and catch the fever.
