So I have this routine where I go to the thrift store. Go to the book section. run my hand down the isle without looking at it. Then just stop and grab a book. That I purchase, then go on to read.
I have found some really good stuff that I probably wouldn't have read nor knew I liked if it wasn't for that. I got addicted to late 40's- 50's detective crime novels that way. I scoured every used bookstore buying them like crack. I think because I just like the words "dame" & "gams". Or cheesy lines like " I hate to see her leave, but I sure love to watch her walk away."

I've also read some weir informative things like. I can install and maintain a septic tank I even know how to turn a old VW bug into one. I honestly hope I never have to install, maintain or even own one, but if I do I'm prepared.
I also know everything there is to know about owning a pet turtle. The breeds. How to ensure their happiness. How to keep them healthy. What breeds to avoid until I'm a experienced turtle handler. Which I hope I never will be. I hope I never own a turtle, but again if i do I'm ready.
I know the proper way to breed standard poodles. How to raise and train them and make them champions of the show. If I ever own a poodle, after I finished making fun of myself. This may come in handy.
I just finished reading a Egyptian Bible written by a Egyptian prophet. That is exactly like the Christian bible. Except different names and slightly different metaphors. I would tell Moses of the copyright infringement, but I think he is unavailable at the moment.
Today I picked up a book on King Louis XIV. It's actually good. It's wrote in fiction like your living in his time. I'm surprisingly into it. Hopefully it continues to be a good read.

I was just blabbering on I know, but I was wondering. Does anybody do anything random like that? not necessarily books, but anything?

I always wondered how it would turn out with foods or shoes. My luck saddle oxfords & sardines.

Saddle shoes can be cute with a cheerleader outfit.....









gee maybe you would look cute in one!!


I have picked up a few books almost the same way, I was in a hurry and wanted to get a book to read so I just grabbed one off a shelf. Now I have about 12 books by the same author because I really liked that first book of hers.

I would look magically dashing in saddle oxfords I agree. Cheerleader outfit I may need to shave my legs..Wait they make male cheerleader costumes. Funny my mind went right to wearing a skirt

I know a lot about serial killers...

I sometimes do that with books too, but I mostly do random picking when it comes to food. I would go to a restaurant I haven't tried and just pick something in the menu. More often than not, I get to eat something delicious and...edible.
