June another sunday night shooting? But where? Around 10pm we heard four shots, stopped a moment listening for the return fire. Nothing. Just a typical Sunday night in my neighborhood. Then less than five minutes later a chopper was circling low directly overhead and the patrol cars arrived. A cop shooed away a curious dog walker and the lights went out in the Tropical Cafe. Shortly after that the street was blocked off and then the detectives arrived. Mr. Miller and I peered out the bedroom window and I heard one cop say to another " There's a light on in the suspect's house." We can't see the house from our window because of the trees but figure it's the drug dealers down the street. Mr. Miller spots the cops wearing blue jackets just like in The Shield ( which of course has been filmed on this street) None of the neighbors have ventured outside which probably means that no one is dead yet. An hour later the choppers have gone but the cops remain. Will this be another "Easter Sunday" which was the last time someone was murdered in direct view of my kitchen window? The chopper has returned now. Guess I'll just have to wait and see. Read about my community on the cusp of Rampart & NorthEast: http://www.lapdonline.org |

June I have not smoked for nearly one week which is the longest time I've spent without any form of nicotine since nineteen-eighty-something. I'd had no real plans to quit smoking. I really enjoy smoking cigarettes. I'd just been feeling like someone had stuck a knife in my chest and left it there for awhile. I went to the doctor. |
|
| Turns out I had chronic bronchitis along with asthma. Three months ago I had a similar diagnosis from a different doctor and of course ignored it. But one chest X-ray was all it took for me to start getting heavy visuals of Margie toting around a portable oxygen tank. I freaked out and have not lit up since.Yes I am a basket case. Not just because I lost the nipple ring I had to remove for the chest X-ray but because cold turkey is brutal. After Five days of no smoking, I had a near fainting spell in the Home Depot, which most likely was a result of my having hyperventilated while having a smoking fantasy. Mr. Miller rescued me after I called him panic stricken from the parking lot. Aftre feeding me a power bar & some water, Mr. Miller suggested that I shop at Baller Hardware instead of Home Depot because shopping at Baller is less stressful. Of course now I'm concerned that without my self-medicating smokes I may go "off the deep end" and have to go on real medication. Panic or Paranoia? Only time will tell. |

May ...Trying to piece together the last few months for all those who say I used to know what's happening in your life but now I do not. This is going to take a few days but it's all my hard drive ... somewhere. Most likely I will attempt to assume some sort of chronological order which means that all of the entries will appear below...somewhere BTW-on an OCD note... I've been frequenting the TVLand Mr. Ed Boards and came across this wonderful Mr. Ed Fan Site |

May Hey I'm back! I was just thinking oh I should write something, like starting with the date and I really had no idea what the date was and accidentally wrote March instead of May. So that's where my head is at - two months behind while simultaneously speeding ahead into the future with no clue about the present. I used to call it the end of my workday when Mr. Ed came on at 12:30am. Now it seems my favorite show isn't on anymore and I have no idea how to begin to end the day. So at the present I'm mourning Mr. Ed, thinking about how I might end the day by rereading Roland Barthe's essay "The |
| World of Wrestling" while soaking in the bathtub or maybe I'll just try and clear my head while watching the Rockford Files even though for some strange reason I can't explain I was just mentally obsessing about Sid & Nancy & that Dick Hebdige book from the 80s. BTW Mr. Hebdige bought a really nice Volvo Bertone from my mechanic awhile ago. I saw him in the shop. The last time I'd seen him before that was in Bob's Frolic Room II about 4 years ago..........hmmm |

April 2004 Friendly Letter to My Mom or Attempting to Have a Healthy Adult Relationship with My Mother Who is Very Depressed at the Moment: Hi Mom, My garden always cheers me up so I thought that I'd send you some pics and maybe they'd make you smile. Don't mind the typewritten letter- I'm just faster on a computer. (also I can "cut and paste" from the internet) |

You might
notice that there's no "wide shots" of the house. Guess that's
because my house is such a putrid beige color that there's no sense wrecking
the beauty of the flowers. I hope the next time the landlord paints the
exterior he allows the tenants to choose the color! I'd certainly be willing
to chip in for the paint. |
