Life in the ghetto: How to avoid getting a cap in the ass

After working a gazillion shifts, I had a beautiful day off. Awesome. Feeling guilty about being so far behind on my blog, I considered taking my laptop to Starbucks. However, I was feeling lazy and chose to watch an episode of Law and Order. I love crime shows. Sea tapes a bunch of them for me. After that episode, I figured it was my day off and I was entitled to watch another one before going out. Then one more crime show. Okay, another one.

Lucky called, I paused it, we chatted, and I told him I was going to SB soon. Pressed play and then Sea called.

"Heidi, are you okay?!"
"Er yeah... are YOU okay?" Weirdo.
"Didn't you hear about the shooting?"
"What shooting?"
"The one outside the apartment! They had to shut the whole street down and everything. I've been getting calls on my cell phone asking if I'm okay, so I thought I better call and check in on you."
"Hmmm, really?! Let me see if I can see anything from the window."


Sure enough, there were scads of cop cars lighting up the street like a red and blue disco party. EFF! What a gong show. How did I miss that?! Good thing I didn't take the bus; I could have been shot at the bus stop!! Eff. Wow. Crazy.


Ironically, I was watching crime shows and missed the real life drive by. Also, they say TV rots your brain, heh heh, maybe TV saved my life. Ha.
