The freaks come out at night
Last night, I went on a 1:45 a.m. mission to CVS and Ralph's. I like to think that Silver Lake is a pretty decent neighborhood, but I encountered no one but weirdos.
* The vato who pulled electronics out of his coat and asked me, "Hey, want to buy a PSP for 20 bucks?"
* The two skinny guys buying nothing but half-off Easter candy, paying all in one-dollar bills. (Then coming back to ask about being shorted 10 cents.
* The old dude with a ponytail buying one of those roasted chickens in a foil bag, going to his car, and coming back with greasy hands to get a paper towel.
* The dirty lady with a basket full of cat food.
* Everyone else in line was buying liquor, everyone outside asking for spare change.
Me? I bought two bags of grapes, a loaf of bread, frozen juice concentrate, and a toilet plunger. You can guess which one was the emergency.

Dude if they still make Freakies cereal I'm so on that..
Did you buy the other groceries as "cover" for buying a toilet plunger at that ungodly hour of the morning?
I've done that before when buying condoms (a long time ago).
Can't make it obvious, you know?
Ha!
I got the plunger at CVS and then walked next door to the market for food we needed. It's a vicious cycle, isn't it?
