I'd like to refuse events while I do some time-consuming stuff. I mean that
any events that come in while I'm working (e.g. the user clicks a button)

Why not simply disable the controls that would generate those events in the first place? You could either disable them individually, or present a modal sheet or dialog with a progress indicator.

This has the added benefit of letting the user know that events are being ignored; otherwise, you run the risk of frustrating users, who will be clicking on things and wondering why they aren't working.
