Bad Maus...
Jun. 27th, 2011 06:12 amI haven't been posting much here lately. Or anywhere, really. Bad Maus, because there's been lots of stuff going on...
Like this weekend's Pride event, which I got to go to both days, since I had an extra day off from the Mines. It was awesome--good weather, great parade, just a really, really good time.
Also,some of my nice neighbors and I were sitting on the Paceo, and the SWAT team pulled up to the Purple House and arrested somebody. I'm not sure who, I think it was one of the downstairs neighbor's kid's friends or something. Whatever was going on, it was really intense--5 cars full of guys with bulletproof vests, going to the front, the back, everywhere. Just very scary stuff. The last time I saw so many cops in one place I was still living in the Crackstack downtown. We're still not sure what prompted it, though we heard the words,"Crystal Meth" here and there. Anyway, the Island is usually intensely quiet and peaceful, so it was just a bit of a shock...
Ben the Neighbor has a very nice new friend for the summer. They went to the Jade Mines for a lark, and the Gaily-Waily did her best to terrorize the new man, who laughed hysterically because she was so funny. Excellent. I can hardly wait to hear her version of things...
I had a very nice personal anniversary. Good stuff.
And now I can look forward to getting through the week fast, with meetings and whatnot, and then having a nice little chunk of time off for a while. And my neighborhood is having a lovely party for 4th of July. Should be good times...
