hey, so this weekend i rode my bike around the valley. It was fun. I went to this bookstore on hwy 12. It's called Paperbacks Unlimited. It's kind of a cool place, Maritza hates it though. Says it's for hicks and dorks. I am both. Anyway, how it works is you can trade in old paperbacks that you have and then use that credit toward getting new books. The catch is that you have to pay 30 percent of the cover price in cash. I don't know, it's kind of a book co-op of sorts. The place is for real hardcore reading addicts. I watched people return and leave with armloads of crappy books. Dan Brown, Barbara Kingsolver, cats of that ilk. Me, i'm much cooler. I bought the second book in Dean Koontz's FRANKENSTEIN sage. I like it ok? Don't judge me by that. I usually read better stuff. I just like it, don't know why really. I couldn't recomend it. to anyone.
I've been going to this shop on and off for like ever. They used to sell comics and at the time i was a little comic loving scamp with no loot so i'd get books for like a dime or quarter at the Goodwill and then trade them in for comics. It was a good deal for me. I wished they still sold them. I love to buy a comic that i don't have to take care of. Some shit that I can read in the bathtub or give to the goofy kids across the street when i'm done with it. I really do give comics to neighborhood punks. I'm nice like that. Sometimes.
Well, i'm at work and have to actually be productive or something like it......
Only hicks and dorks ... hmmmm. I think a hick would be removed from the dork category. Because being a dork implies a certain level of awareness, and simply being unable to conform to cool standards. But a hick is just removed from the realm of coolness all together. they're a different bird. they are not dorky, or cool. they're just hicks.
so I don't think you could be both. which prompts the question - which one are you ???
