Sometimes you eat the bear
The good things about living in my neighborhood:
- low rent
- taco trucks
- sense of community
- $3 movie theater
The bad things:
- loud domestic fights next door
- the ice cream man song
- people smoking pot in the movie theater
Yes, that's right. Baby and I saw Batman Begins tonight, and there were a few kids near the front row smoking weed in the theater itself. Nasty. I went outside and told the owner -- who looked like he was having the time of his life changing the letters on the marquee -- but he just turned on the air conditioner in our theater. He came by and "looked" for the hooligans about thirty minutes later.
But the movie was good.
hopefully it's the regular version of the ice cream man song, or maybe "Greensleeves"... one time i was in someone's neighbourhood around dusk and for some reason there were no children around, when off in the distance i heard a very echoey version of the theme to "The Pink Panther". it was the creepiest thing. it slowly got louder and louder and when he passed by i scowled at him for playing such incriminatingly-lecherous music. i mean everyone knows the bad rap that ice-cream truck drivers have... *ahem.
when i was little my mom told me that it was the "music truck" and that it just drove around neighbourhoods playing music for people to brighten up their days. that way we wouldn't be interested in running up to it.
