Fun Times in Baton Rouge

The joys of living in an apartment complex downtown.

So I'm sitting here, minding my own business, lost in my little world of Half-Life 2, when someone knocks at my door. Mind you, no one ever knocks on my door...and it's 11:30pm, so I'm doubly confused. I go and look out the peep-hole, see nothing, and walk away.

More knocking.

Go back, look again, nothing...but as I'm standing there, still more knocking. So now, I figure either this is the phantom hand of doom trying to steal my eternal soul, or someone's knocking on my door who doesn't want to be seen. I--deciding not to succumb to an 80's mystery movie-type stupidity--leave my door locked.

A few seconds later, I hear knocking at the door of the apartment next to mine. I sneak up to my window with true ninja-style stealthitude, look outside, and see someone dressed in a black t-shirt and black shorts, standing against the wall to the side of my (non-existant) neighbor's door, knocking away.

At this point, I figure I'll try to see if Sprint's pathetic service as of late extends to 911. They transfer me to the police department, two patrol cars pull up about 10 minutes later, and so ends my story.

Yeah, sorry, no funny punch-lines or interesting arrests. I probably over-reacted, but oh well, better safe than sorry.

Just thought I'd share. Carry on.

Pre-emptive anti-spider sentence?

But they are...I go out to places where other people in black clothes hang out all the time, I listen to music played by people who wear black clothes; heck, my brother's wife even has a few black skirts lying around somewhere.

I'm very accepting of cross-color dressing.

By the way, I forgot to mention that this all happened roughly a week after another guy in the program here at LSU told me his wonderful story about being robbed at gun point his month in Baton Rogue. He was on the phone, someone knocked on the door, he opened it...and then got pistol whipped in the face, tied up, blind folded with a pillow case over his head, and shoved in his closet for 30 minutes...all the while his girlfriend--with whom he'd been on the phone--was calling 911 from Florida after hearing him exclaim, "oh f**k!" before the hanging up.

I thought it best not to tempt fate this time around.
