Well, No! I didn't find the book. I dug for hours at the World's Biggest Bookstore. For some reason the name Plutarch kept going through my mind but I didn't follow up on it.
Somehow I got to thinking about Zen Buddhism and writing. That seemed to feel closest to the no name book from my dreams.
I got another Natalie Goldberg book, Thunder and Lightning. I looked for, Writing Down the Bones, that I used to have and lent to my friend Jamie but it wasn't available and I doubt that Jamie still has it. But I pulled out her other two books that I have, Wild Mind and Long Quiet Highway.
I also bought a couple books by Gail Sher, another practicing Zen Buddhist. Her books are One Continuous Mistake, and the Intuitive Writer. I somehow feel like I have another book by her but damned if I can find it in my mondo collection. So Zen Buddhism and writing. Zen Buddhism being about practice, sitting. Somehow that's something that I've pulled out of my dream with me. Makes the most sense anyway. It also makes me look at the books I already have.
So I pull out my new books and some old ones and have a wee sip of late autumn Riesling and have a peaceful night.
Flavor of Love has a season 2. It's the train wreck that I have to watch accidentally on purpose. Gagging when women french kiss Flavor Flav. Cracking up when he talks and holds a piece of fried chicken, Kentucky Fried Chicken at that. Just not right. The women getting into fist fights. The women crying when they don't get the clock. Lord have mercy, if I ever wanted to be on television so badly that I'd line up with 16 or so women, some of them quite hot, shaking my booty, french kissing a man like Flavor Flav and talking about how he's my man... just shoot me! But in the meantime I watch and laugh and gag and scream, because I can. Only if I catch it when it's on mind you, I'm not taping it.
