I got a hair cut this afternoon at Supercuts on Pico near Rexford.<\/p>\n
I asked for it to be short on the front and sides and to be left long in the back.<\/p>\n
The lady cut it short all the way round.<\/p>\n
I lost about four inches from my mane!<\/p>\n
Then, walking home on Pico Blvd, at Aish HaTorah on Doheny, I pass this black lady. She looks about 25. She wears a towel over hair and she’s shlepping a bag. She looks like a crazed homeless bag lady.<\/p>\n
I turn right on Livonia for the LAPL branch at Robertson and Airdrome. The lady follows 20 feet behind me. Intermittently, I hear her crazed demented laughter.<\/p>\n
She has no cell phone.<\/p>\n
I go into the library, check out two books, and then leave.<\/p>\n
She’s still following me.<\/p>\n
I stop and walk up to me. "Are you following me?" I ask.<\/p>\n
She smiles. She’s friendly. She’s kinda cute in a dark African crazed way. "I was hoping you’d show me to a bathroom. The lady at the library wouldn’t give me a key."<\/p>\n
"You don’t need a key to use the restroom at the library."<\/p>\n
"What books do you have?" she asks.<\/p>\n
I show her James Kugel’s volume on how to read the Bible.<\/p>\n
"Where’s a bathroom?" she asks.<\/p>\n
"There’s one at Starbucks on Pico\/Robertson and there’s one at Coffee Bean on La Cienega and 18th."<\/p>\n
"What music are you listening to?" she asks.<\/p>\n
"A book on tape.<\/p>\n
"Look, I’ve got to go."<\/p>\n
This time she doesn’t follow me.<\/p>\n
I think about that chilling blog post mentioned in the new book "The Future of Reputation," where a lady blogs about her roommate’s ex-boyfriend banging around downstairs.<\/p>\n
The ex-boyfriend soon after murdered both women.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
