I Should Be (Smokey Robinson and the Miracles)

I should be submitting "Action Plans" for my "job," ironing clothes for tomorrow, packing for New York, buying a present for the wedding I'm attending, and/or finding a place to stay tomorrow night. Instead I'm here to tell you about my impulse buy at Target this weekend: The Best of Smokey Robinson for 9.99 (on MCA/Universal, I think). I got introduced to him through D'Angelo's HOT cover of "Cruisin'" and had to buy the best-of when I saw it on the store shelf (omg they sell black-ish music in target?11!1?). I have to say it was worth it: from the delightfully heartbreaking 60's soul pop of "The Tracks of My Tears" to the 60's playalistic anthem "Shop Around," from the familiar and loveably Motown "I Second That Emotion" to the 70's discofunk of "Love Machine," this potentially cheesy album covers all the bases of looooove, funk, and soul. Can I hit it and quit?

It seems like you have loads of free time on your hand, so what better way to spend it than by writing a full novel in 31 days?

P.S. I know what you're going to say.."Novels are for guys with small wieners," but so are electric guitars.
