Just as I was leaving work Friday night, a fire broke out across the street!
Fire!
Here are the details…um, ahhhh, hmmm…OK, I left as soon as I saw the smoke. I don’t know how this one turned out. Roy Rogers and TGI Friday’s were there about a week ago and then one day, poof, they were gone. They were gutting the place all day; I’m guessing a gas line broke or a grease fire (the smart money is on grease).
I made plans to hang out (Friday night) but the plans got screwed up and I bailed. Looking back, I should have rolled with it but what can you do – I am who I am. I kicked it inside and started to re-watch The Office (BBC). So wonderful!
Saturday I woke up at 5 AM, damn, I fell asleep on my sofa! I waited too long to go to the local laundry, so I headed over to the Jersey City A & P and the Laundry Depot -- nothing new to report there. I did go to Target to buy some new headphones. While I was standing in line, I saw a mouse/rat scurry across the floor…nice. It wasn’t a fluke either, that mouse/rat knew what the hell he/she was doing. I was happy I wasn’t making a food purchase.
I was going to go to my friend Kipley’s movie thing around 8:00 because he was showing an interesting documentary but I couldn’t get it together. So, I watched Shaun of the Dead instead. Damn, that’s a good one! Those Brits are pretty funny/smart. Speaking of Brits, I talked to my friend Carl for a while. He’s in the UK and I enjoy hearing about his way of life. Nice bloke.
Sunday I woke up around 6 AM…on the sofa, again – DAMN! Another night of cheated sleep. I called my brother George to see if the nephews were up for a little x-box live. He told me that they were outside playing. Ohio was beautiful yesterday. I should have taken a page from their book but NJ was dark and cool. My apartment was especially cold this weekend. I decided I needed to go on an adventure.
My idea of an adventure these days is to drive two towns over to buy some Rogaine.
Yikes!
I’ve been thinking about using Rogaine to keep my bald spot in check before it gets any worse. Sunday afternoon and I’m taking photos of my bald spot! Oh sweet Lord, no one told me it was going to be like this! I’m still on the fence. Honestly, with everything else wrong with me, Rogaine, would be like polishing a turd at this point, ha ha! But I digress.
I stayed in most of the day watching Spanish TV. Why Spanish TV? BECAUSE I ONLY HAVE 10 CHANNELS NOW!!! Ha ha, I’m not cracking yet but I would have liked a little variety on a Sunday afternoon. Around 5, the sun came out. I got in the shower and headed outside. Where you ask; but to Staples to buy a shredder. I walked in and I heard a worker say to another worker: “It’s six o’clock, close that door, it’s closing time!” I got my shredder and was out of there pretty quick. When I walked out, they were turning people away…must be nice, to refuse business like that – I don’t know how anyone stays in business around here. Anyway, checkout this sweet shredder:
Shred it up!
I’ve needed one of these things for so long. I haven’t thrown out anything personal in months and months. I filled up the whole basket in about 30 minutes and I still have a long way to go. Shredding is fun but it sounds like there’s a jet in my apartment, ha ha. I had to spend $50 to shred paper I didn’t want, so someone I don’t know, won’t steal my identity. Crazy world.
That’s all I got today. I’m surprised I had this much in me; I didn’t do a damn thing, ha ha.
Much love,
Bob
