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.

I'd nominate the album "The Reminder" by Feist, which I just bought today. It's a gem. I nearly convinced my mom to get Regina Spektor's CD but she preferred in the end to go with El Divo and Simply Red.

*le sigh*

Ah dang, I could have brought you a copy of that! Anything you want me to bring that I've listed lately?

Aww, no worries! Try to bring as little as you can, so you won't be bogged down with a heavy suitcase. ;-)

Okies!
