Writer's Block: In The Money

[dotinthesky]

If you won $100 this afternoon, what would you do with it?

I'd go to Cambuí, the next town over, and buy myself a pair of mud-resistant hiking shoes. It's been raining for days and I'm stuck indoors because I only brought with me a pair of shoes that I refuse to get dirty and some Birkenstocks.

After buying the hiking shoes, I'd visit the only bookshop in town and hope they had fiction by Andréa del Fuego, Rodrigo Fresán or José Luís Peixoto. The joys of discovering new authors while watching late night public access television.

I concede that these are not very imaginative ways of spending $100.

either spend it on strippers and a couple pints, or spend it on a new coat.

but in all serious ness... buy some leather treater, and don't be afraid to get your hiking boots dirty!
some awesome things can only be seen after getting yoru feet muddied up!

What kind of strippers can you get for only $100? I'd only accept the ones in the thousands... :-)

Around here, you definitely need boots that tackle mud. Climbing the mountain, going for trecks - everything brings you in contact with mud, mud and more mud.
