Speaking of 'not being part of my life' - time to announce the results of my weekend contest: BE PART OF BOB'S WEEKEND! I brought my coins to the Coin-star machine and they came to a total of exactly $70. Congratulations to Shawninseattle who came the closest, without going over, with his guess of $57.95! He wins a slightly-used DVD of one of 1998's break-out films:

Saturday I woke up around 10 and played video games. I was starting to get hooked, then told myself I have to get out of the old apartment.I'm glad I tell myself that. I took my laundry over to Jersey City. They have a nice little plaza over there, the A & P is close by, so I could do everything in one trip.
While my clothes were in the wash, I walked next door to Pier 1 Imports. I like those stores. I've been thinking about buying an armoire recently, you know, so I can keep all my crap in one place. I was walking around, looking at stuff and couldn't figure out how I'd get such a big item home. Not to mention if I really wanted to spend $500, $600. I headed home with clean laundry and food. I walked in the door, it was so humid, long story short, I put my A/C in the window. I couldn't take it anymore. That cold air felt great! I cooked up a steak for dinner, can't remember what I watched and called it a night.
Sunday I woke up around nine. I didn't have any plans, so I got in the car and drove around. I went to Best Buy, nothing there. Then I drove to another Pier 1 Imports, I came dangerously close to making a purchase. I liked this one:

You put your
But I thought to myself, do I really need it? The answer was no. But I do like it. But I don't need it. I drove away, armoire-less. I drove back to Hoboken, parked the Jeep and went for a walk. I was thinking, maybe I should sell that Jeep before something bad happens, it's running well but I always feel like I'm miles away from a $500 (or worse) dollar repair. Anyway, I walked around Hoboken, went in a few more stores and didn't buy anything. I walked home, looked at my TV to see if it would fit in a Pier 1 Imports armoire - I don't think it would. My TV's a heavy sum bitch.
I cooked up a tuna steak and some soup for dinner. I cleaned my apartment, watched some TV and that was, how you say, my weekend.
That's it! Have a great day.
Sincerely your internet friend,
Bob

Botton-of-the-Page Bonus A & P story: While walking down the rice and soup aisle, I overheard, how can I say this and be politically correct, I overhead two gentlemen, two gentlemen shopping together, if you know what I mean, *wink wink*, OKAY, two gay guys! Anyway, one guy said to the other, "I just love couscous" - I thought that was funny.
