My only human interaction this weekend was when I said thank you to the cashier at the A & P. And I only talked to 3 people on the phone. I didn't set out to live this weekend in isolation, it just happened. My downfall, if you can call it that, was on Friday. In preparation for The Sopranos premiere next month, I ordered HBO. When you order HBO on DirecTV, you don't just get HBO. You get 5 HBOs, 4 Starz and some other stuff. I saw A Star is Born two times! I can't remember what else I saw, it's a blur. There was always something on. It was awesome. I did my laundry and went to the A & P on Saturday. Sunday, I went for an hour walk and picked up some live tunes by my "new" favorite band, The Clash.

My car didn't get fixed because the garage was backed up. So, I took it in this morning. It was fine on the weekend. It may just need a tune-up. The only maintenance I do is get the oil changed. It has probably been two or three years since it got a tune-up. And probably just as long since I washed it. You can't polish a turd. I've always had an emotional attachment towards automobiles. However, that attachment died when my car started to rust and was damaged by hail. Vandalism and punks sitting on my car didn't help either.

I always tell this story; I was walking home and saw some punk kids sitting on my car, you know what I did? I just kept on walking. I own the car; it doesn't own me. So, that's it. Movies, movies and more movies. A lot of the movies were ones that I used to own. I've sold off about half of my DVD collection. I went crazy buying/collection DVDs. If I haven't watched it in four months, I probably never will. So, sell it. I'm going to take the money and put it towards a "new" car, someday. Have a great President's Day!
