Oh No He D'int
So I'm walking up to my apartment, coming home from work. Tired, filthy and trying to exert some measure of control over my vanilla milkshake which is fucking delicious at the moment, when this couple, a middle aged white woman and a middle aged black man exit their vehicle and head inside in front of me.
He turns and says something to me. I've got "Anarchy in the UK" blasting on my headphones so I ask him to repeat himself.
"I said how you doin' today?"
"Not bad," I said. "Yourself?"
"I'm a'ight." He says in the stereotypical "black guy" accent.
I smile in spite of myself, wondering if thinking of his way of speaking as a "black guy" accent makes me racist.
So the 3 of us are waiting for the elevator when suddenly he blurts out:
"Someone DIED."
Again, the way he says it, I'm trying hard not to lose it. The woman he's with is doing the same.
High point of my day.
Got to stay up late tonight.. trying to win money on some shitty gameshow at 2 in the morning. Caught it last week and it seemed like such a complete mess, so I'm thinking the odds might be in my favor.
We'll see.
Then tomorrow it's off to the flea market and the comic shop. Buying props and such... long story.
