Hi. My weekend started off Friday night with a lovely dinner. The plan was to meet up with my friend, Tiffany, around 7 — that was the plan. 7:30 came and went. Around 8, I got the call that she was running late, no s**t, ha ha. We had dinner around 9. I was so hungry, I couldn’t complete a thought. I enjoyed some lamb curry, mmmmmmmm. I’m not sure what Tiffany had. Good food, great conversation — it’s always nice to hang out with a good friend.

Saturday, I woke up late. As promised, it was a gray and rainy day. I looked out the window and said to myself, you’re not going anywhere. I put in the newly purchased Jackie Brown DVD and before I knew it, it was time for dinner.

I had some Mexican food for dinner. That was the only time I left my apartment on Saturday. After dinner, I put in Pulp Fiction and watched all the extra features. I started to watch the movie but 10 minutes into it, I remembered, I watched it on VHS less than a month ago. Foiled again! I saw Pulp Fiction in the theater back in 94. I must have been home for Christmas break or something. I remember driving up to Pittsburgh to see it. I saw it about 5 times. I liked Jackie Brown too but that film grew on me over time. About a year ago, I was so desperate to see it again, I bought the Hong Kong version on the Internet.

I guess to move the film over there, the renamed it ‘Dangerous Liaisons‘ — odd. It fixed my Jackie Brown fix but it left me feeling dirty afterwards. You know, buying a bootleg. I felt like I was on the fringe of society.

Sunday, I woke up early. I had to make up for a bad Saturday. I got in the car and drove to Nutley to do my laundry. I’m not sure how that made up for a bad Saturday but at least I left the house, ha ha. It was just good to get the old girl out on the road. I was going to go shopping but then I thought, if you go shopping, you’re going to spend money. You see, I don’t have money, so that wouldn’t be a good thing. I went to the A & P instead. In the checkout the girl in front of me kept explaining her purchases to the cashier. She said something like, “These pears are 6 for $1.50* but I’m only taking 4 because that’s all I can eat.” That just said everything I needed to know about this woman — high maintenance. She was hot but a woman like that would drive a man crazy. She didn’t even bag her groceries! At this A & P, they don’t have a bag boy/girl. So, the cashier, has to ring everything up, then bag it and then hand it to the girl! While I wait. What can you do. I bag my own groceries, I don’t keep the person behind me waiting!

And now a new feature to BobBorden.com. It’s called, BobBorden.com’s footnotes — If you’ll look at the last paragraph, you’ll notice that when I quoted the ‘customer at the A & P,’ there was a footnote by the price for pears. That footnote, was put there because I didn’t remember the exact price for pears. That was BobBorden.com’s footnotes — always striving to give you the truth, in overheard conversations.

I’m going to end today’s diary with another new feature to BobBorden.com — I call it, BobBorden’s best Instant Message of the day. During the day on Friday, I was happy to receive this instant message from my friend Jay:

Jay: Want my Frosty? Don’t have room for it.

I had the Frosty in my hands 20 seconds later. That was BobBorden’s best Instant Message of the day, Damn, that Frosty was good!

There’s a new section to my ‘stuff’ section. If you like Trading Spaces or Vern Yip, you have to check it out. In my ‘stuff’ section, look for Bob’s Autograph Collection.

That’s it. God Bless America.
