Some pretty crazy things happened these last couple weeks. Let's see.
I was outside putting my ANGRY BEEF license plate frame when a police officer comes strolling down the sidewalk and asks me if I know whose car (points to car) that is? It belonged to one of my downstairs neighbors, so I told the officer that. He nodded, thanked me, and wandered off... through the yard and around to the back of the house.
Well, pretty soon after that another cop showed up and asked me, "Excuse me, do you know who lives in (points) that apartment?"
He was pointing to the same apartment of the guy whose car the first cop pointed at, so I said so. The cop nodded and began mumbling into his collar radio thingy.
Uh-oh. Well, as I finished making my car ANGRY BEEF ghetto fabulous, the first cop came back from the back of the house and the two met outside the front door of the house. They conversed in those low tones that cops do so well, then one turned and shouted down to the street, "Excuse me, can you open this door for us?
"Sure," I say, "Hold on just a second."
So I finish packing up my tools in my extra-manly tool case (the type that's molded plastic and every tool fits snugly into its little indentation) and walked up the front walkway to where they were still low-talking at each other. "Is there anything I should know about?" I asked suspiciously.
"He's wanted for burglary," the second cop simply told me.
Lovely. Anyway, a short while later I'm upstairs looking out the window, watching the two cops escorting one of my downstairs neighbors away in handcuffs, while three police cruisers have suddenly appeared on my block. All I can say is this:
It's about damned time.
That guy was a complete asshat. It surprises me not at all that he would get taken away in handcuffs. It didn't make me feel exactly safe to know he was living in my building with us for the last two-and-a-half years. We think he even stole our (outgoing) mail at least once.
Anyway...
There were a couple other funny things that happened. My brother and I ended up doing a two-man Fools Play show because the Gibbses were out of town and M. Tanner was up in Seattle. And you know what? It was one of the most fun shows I've ever done. The very next day was the 2nd Annual Northwest Improv Jam, where as many troupes from the Northwest as possible get together and each do a scene to showcase their abilities, then in the end they all kind of mix it up and do scenes with each other. The Fools Play show the next week wasn't quite so hot, mostly because the theater was—excruciatingly hot.
Brandy was working at a cute little gift shop up on 6th Ave that day as well, and I got a very funny phone call from her right as the store was supposed to open. I probably shouldn't talk about it here; it might be to embarrassing for her. Hey, she's working there again today—I should probably stop by.
And don't think I've slacked off this website because I didn't write any articles or movie reviews. I was gonna do both, but I didn't end up seeing any movies last week (even though I was planning on it), and I was gonna write a huge and hilarious article but for some reason now my computer refuses to recognize my scanner, so I've had to put that one on some serious hold until I find out what the freak is goin' on there.
Well, as crazy as these last two weeks have been, the next two are gonna be off the heezy-beezy. I'm going to have a LOT of very important and very exciting news. That's all I can say now.
