life in the 'hood

7:14 p.m. Friday, while driving home from the gym: Seeing a mid-90's Thunderbird, painted in a purplish shade of magenta glittery carnie paint with huge flecks, with CA license plate "PYT 01".

9:05 p.m Friday: Hearing a very agitated Mexican woman screaming at the top of her lungs in Spanish at her son in the alley behind my condo.

9:25 p.m. Friday while going out to my car: Seeing said woman, hitting her son (who towered over her) and stood between her and his pregnant puta girlfriend, keeping his mom from going after her. Gratuitous detail: Mama had crazy-ass blonde hair, a raggedy t-shirt with the word "Budweiser" on the back, and a very foul mouth.

9:30 p.m. Friday, while driving to Harry's: Seeing a group of little girls dressed in grass skirts, plumeria headbands, and tank tops practicing hula dancing in a carport.

10:55 a.m. Saturday, while at Harry's: Seeing a woman walking down the street in her pajamas and a huge towel turban.

11:03 p.m. Sunday, while blogging: Hearing some serious gangsta rap, alternately criticizing and (presumably) praising bitches, hos, and other members of my gender.
