I didn't have such an exciting weekend and now I have to write about it...why do I paint myself into a corner like this?
Bob's had better weekends

Friday night I picked up some dinner and walked home. I was super tired due to falling asleep on my floor the night before. What a weird week for sleeping, I didn't spend one night in my bed. Back to Friday night, I just watched TV and made it a point to go to bed.
Saturday I woke up around 10. I checked the old computer, watched a little TV and then decided to do my laundry. Everything that can be laundered, I'm bringing it. I'm having a house guest this week and he demands 100% cleanliness, ha ha. If you knew him, you'd laugh too. I was leaving my crib to do my laundry up the street when I saw my mail. My plates were ready! I got the car and headed over to the dealer. Plates in hand, I headed over to Jersey City to do my laundry. While my stuff was drying, I put my plates on. At that point, it finally seemed like my car. It's funny driving around here, people are nuts. You have to be on your game 100% or you will get hit, it's as simple as that. It just makes you want to drive with your windows down and yell, "please stay away from me!"
After laundry, the A & P, of course. I was in super slo-mo this weekend because I'm coming up on a vacation. Saturday night I watched a very funny TV show on BBC America, I'm Alan Partridge. Damn, that was good, it stars Steve Coogan who I know from the film 24-hour Party People. The show was good, it had a James Bond theme to it. Hello Tivo season pass.
Sunday I woke up around 11. I found myself being caught up in DirecTV. Around 4, I decided to get outside. Before I left, I noticed that my belt was pretty frayed. I remember saying to myself, 'hey, this is pretty frayed.' Then, I pulled on it to test its strength and it broke. Not being a clothes horse, that was the only belt I have. And I happen to be one of those guys that wears a belt because if I don't...moon over Hoboken. Anyway, I'm walking to my car because now I'm going belt shopping. I have to keep my hands in my pockets or my pants will fall down. I'm walking up the street with both hands in my pockets, I look like a total pervert.
I make it to the store, find a belt, rip off the upc code, give it to the cashier and put the belt on. Whew! I've never had a belt emergency before. After that, I picked up some shoes. New Balance 470, size 12 4E, $39.99 -- the best deal going! These are my 3rd pair. My 1st pair got funkified in the great flood of Hoboken, my second pair has holes, thus the upgrade.
I went to Target to buy some laptop screen cleaner. I couldn't find any, I'm not even sure they make such a thing. Then it hit me, I can use my eyeglass cleaner. That did the trick. If you're still reading this, chances are, you had a worse weekend that I did, ha ha!
I cleaned my apartment Sunday night. I even cleaned the carpet. I used a carpet deodorizer, Mountain Stream my ass, it smells like a French whore in here! Live and learn.
That's it! Happy Birthday to longtime bobborden.com reader, Steve Young!
Stay beautiful,
Bob
