Friday night I got a haircut at Super Cuts. They can cut a mean head of hair! I got home, ate some dinner and finished T2. Saturday I reacquainted myself with the intricate details of the stick shift. I did pretty well except for pulling out in front of a few people. I drove to Nutley, NJ to do my laundry. On my way, I looked over and in the eastbound lanes there was a huge traffic jam. I finished my laundry and the highway was still crazy. So, I looked in the bookstore for about a half-hour. Came out, still a jam. I looked around in a sporting goods store, still a jam. I said to myself, screw this, I'm not going to spend my Saturday stuck in traffic. So I went to the movies. I saw Made. That's a pretty good movie -- A little darker than Swingers but still very entertaining. Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs was in it and he was surprisingly good. I left the theatre and finally, no traffic. On my way home I stopped off at the old big and tall store. I bought this cool Hawaiian shirt. Now, after I got it home and washed it, I'm not so sure that it's that cool -- Story of my life.

Saturday night was weird, I was up until 3 am. Oh, my friends saw Planet of the Apes and as I predicted, they had very mixed reviews -- Most of them not good. Hollywood, I'm not buying into your prepackaged hits! I'd rather see a small film like Made; than sit through some big Hollywood rehash of a classic made over 30 years ago! Are you listening Hollywood? ARE YOU LISTENING? AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Sunday I went to the A & P and in the parking lot this car rolls up and a guy yells out, "I'll fix that fender for $80!" I waved him off. That happened to me once with my Skylark. It has to be a scam, right? It just didn't feel right. I'd be like if a dentist came up to you and said, "I can cap that tooth for $65." -- Too good to be true. Sunday night I made one of those prepackaged dinners -- The kind where you add the chicken and broccoli. Well, I might as well have had a salt lick for dinner. It was so nasty! So, that was my weekend - almost no human contact. It's going to take me awhile to get going today. Be real.
