Friday night I was in a solitary mood. Two separate dinner invitations and I couldn’t go to either. I was just in that mood where I didn’t feel like chatting. You back me into a corner and I’m going to strike. That wouldn’t be good for anyone. My mood changed for the better because of two things: A little DVD called Vanilla Sky and a little magical can called Coors Light, ha ha. I heard that Vanilla Sky wasn’t that great and I didn’t know anything about it. It was very good! Like, surprisingly good. And ladies, it would take more than a mask to make Tom Cruise ugly, can I get an Amen? “Amen!” Thanks ladies. That was Friday night.I just remembered something! Have you seen the new Pepsi commercial? Those bastards used footage from my favorite film of all time, Easy Rider. I don’t know who’s to blame? I hope Peter Fonda or Dennis Hopper don’t have anything to do with it. I hope some faceless corporation is to blame. However, someone at Pepsi should have had second thoughts. Is nothing sacred!? I’ll tell Pepsi something else, that Britney Spears commercial — where she changes from decade to decade — it doesn’t make any sense! Pepsi gets the Gas Face (Thank you 3rd Base)! From this moment on, BobBorden.com whole heartily endorses Coke!! And starting today, will boycott all Pepsi products. Have a Coke and a smile!

Saturday, I woke up at 12. All my friends were away, I was either going to ride my bike or take a walk. I turned the TV on while I thought about it. Regarding Henry and many, many TV shows later, it was time for dinner. I headed up to Boston Market for a chicken ceaser salad. I looked up at the security monitor and saw my bald spot, damn! That’s last thing I needed to be reminded about. After dinner, I started working on my novel/short story,The Wallet. I posted it on Saturday night, a BobBorden.com first. Click on Diary Archives to check out the latest installment.Sunday, I woke up early and headed off to Nutley to do my laundry. I was the second person to do my laundry that morning, very exciting. I drove over the Best Buy and looked at the DVD’s. I narrowed my choices down to two; The Royal Tenenbaums (17.99) and Mr. Show (27.99). I saw The Royal Tenenbaums and I have to say, I didn’t care for it. It seemed to be missing something. But I like Wes Anderson’s stuff and Bottle Rocket had a similar effect on me. I hear great things about Mr. Show but I’ve never seen it. Sketch comedy is hit or miss with me. And do I really want to drop $27.99 on the unknown? I got The Royal Tenenbaums. And Sunday night, I watched it for the second time. And just like Bottle Rocket — I enjoyed it a lot more the second time. It has a quiet elegance. I got lucky on that purchase, whew!
I was going through my Beck CDs a few weeks back. He’s really talented, I dig his music. My friend, Walter, turned me on to a CD that I didn’t bother picking up, Mutations. It’s really good! It’s on the lo-fi tip, meaning, not a lot of “chemical brothers” zips and zaps. If you happen across it, check it out. Very good.
Speaking of music, Dave Matthews Band is playing on the roof tonight. Make sure you stay up — It’s cool when the show does that. Behind the scenes, it’s absolutely incredible how the stage hands erect the stage and put all that equipment up there.
Everything and I mean everything comes through my floor and up to the roof. Check it out tonight!
OK, that is it! Have a great day — Don’t forget to check out The Wallet, go to the diary archives. God Bless America.
