Ahhhhhh, nothing like a three day weekend. I kicked things off Friday night by watching Reservoir Dogs. That film still holds up.

Saturday, I woke up late and cleaned my apartment all day. I left the apartment once to grab some dinner. I enjoyed some chicken and green beans from Boston Market. It rained every day this weekend; yesterday, it rained all day. Hard to get motivated to do anything when it’s so gray out. I can’t remember what I watched Saturday night.

Sunday, I was minutes away from doing my laundry in Nutley when my friend Walter called. Walter suggested we play PS-2 all day. Great suggestion! I dropped my laundry bag and was on the PATH Train to NYC before I knew it. We played all day! That Tony Hawk 3 skateboard game is great!

I got back to Hoboken around 10. Monday, I woke up and didn’t have to go to work. That was a great feeling. I picked up my laundry bag and drove to Nutley to the laundry mat. On my way,
something freaky happened. The roads were slick from the rain. I was driving up a hill and there were these birds in the road.

I kept getting closer and closer. They didn’t get out of my way! I ran over one, I think. I didn’t see anything in my rearview mirror but I heard one hit the bottom of my car. I couldn’t stop because there was a car behind me and I couldn’t swerve because the road was slick and I didn’t want to hit a car. Damn, I felt bad.

a bird yesterday

The rest of the day
just felt off. I should have loved every minute of my day off but after the bird thing – I felt like I was in a dream. Hard to explain really. I bought some Diet Coke with lemon flavor because it was on sale. I’m addicted to soda. I love the carbonation, those bubbles are great! I had a Diet lemon Coke with my dinner that night. Good Lord, that’s not a good taste. It tastes like a very strong mixed alcoholic drink. The worst! I should have spent the two extra bucks and bought some Mr. Pibb. I need to quit soda.
OK, I know this is a short recap after having a long weekend but I don’t mix well with rain. 5 straight days of rain. The sun’s out today, that’s something. I can’t believe it’s September.

That’s it. God Bless America.
