Things I thought I would never do
1. See the inside of a police station as an adult, especially a New York City police station.
2. Think about Mario as a crazy woman chased me down the block whilst throwing 3-foot metal rods. (Monday morning- on my way to the subway and work.)
3. Call 911 the second time in one week, after identifying her on my street on our way out of the apartment.
4. See the interior of the local crackhouse. I didn't want to do this despite 4 cops backing me.
5. Speak to the crazy lady, her husband, the residents of the local crackhouse and not be instantly killed.
6. Watch as the cops pulled her away.
Things learned this week:
1. I do not have an eye for track marks.
2. Cops responded quickly. The legal system is also faster than I ever thought it would be. (In the next few hours she will be sentenced.)
3. "Menacing" is a crime.
4. If you live at someplace for 28 days, leave for 2, and come back for another 28 days- you avoid becoming a resident.
5. I was able to live through this week.

If only you'd had a giant mushroom!
It's probably a one off, but it's nice to see you back on the blog-o-sphere again. Reading it I kept getting flashes of you in gritty New York cop shows like Third Watch and Law & Order. Lot's of shaky camera work and crash zooms, very stylish.
What triggered the chase sequence? Did you stand on her imaginary dog? Did you comment on her collection of 3ft rods? Or were you on your cell, calling in an attack by the alien mothership?
...personally I'd be freaked, but at least she's been 'taken care of.'I hope your experience of that 'other world' has not left you too traumatised hun.
