I proactively scrambled my funk yesterday. How? By "Book Whoring." Here's my ideal day:

-Call Mom for emergency defunk day. Turns out she needs one too. Picks me up.

-Go to Borders for a few hours skimming Abbey, Vonnegut, and random comics (Fables rules BTW). Listen to one CD at each music station to expand music knowledge. Drink one Blueberry Cobbler Smoothie (tasty!).

-Go to the next door restaurant, Wild Alaskan, and get a salmon teriyaki bowl.

-Buzz by Carty's to look for Jack toys. Buy the coolest picture book ever, "Astro Bunnies" by Loomis.

-Go to Office Max and get a cool green writing pen.

-Break down and drop by Best Buy to purchase "Nomad" by Jesse Cook since it's my fave CD in the Borders music stations. Plus I like spanish/gypsy/egyptian music.

-Spend the rest of the day at Borders thumbing through guides to Dublin, duct tape, and flying frogs. While I wait with Ma in line, I find tiny hard back books for five bucks. As a promoter of impulse buys, I snag "Dracula" by Stoker (Today I'm already on page 178).

-On the drive home borrow Ma's CD "Reprise" by Watson though I know I'll buy it someday since he's got the most beautiful opera voice in the world. For exaple, the first time I listened to Russell Watson it was so beautiful I cried. I'd never done that for a CD before.

-Ma and I give each other a hug and she drops me off.

Everything in bold is something everyone needs to get. Not because I like it, but because they're that damn overall great.

Today Reno celebrated Earth Day where I notice there are 3 types of people: drugged out hippies who say they love the Earth but are just drugged out, environmentalists actually doing something to save the Earth, and spectators. The first category drives me bonkers as people who rant and rave but never get off their lazy asses to do anything.

I did see one great bumper sticker on a tiny little car that said "ONE LESS SUV".
