In my previous post I had listed Day 122 as "Learn an Emergency first aid procedure." HOWEVER, this was actually day 123. I forgot to take into account that the "No TV weekend" spanned TWO days. Duhhhhhh... Now, on with the post!

Day 124: Buy a parrot and train it to say some unpalatable truth that you cannot voice yourself in society day. I DIDN'T do this day. Why? because I cannot afford a parrot nor would I be able to keep one. Plus I don't really like birds as pets (kind of a lame pet in my opinion). So I just settled with imagining what I would train my parrot to say. It'd probably be: "Oh! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help! Help! I'm being repressed!"

Day 125: Tour stars today day. This day the book gave me a horoscope and I was supposed to follow it to a T. Here's what my horoscope said: "Today you are compatible with Virgo, Leo and Pisces, but totally incompatible with Taurus. If one enters the room, leave." I wasn't around any Taur..i(?) today so I didn't really have to walk away. Too bad Megan wasn't here so I could leave the room whenever she walked in. Bahahahaha.

Day 126: Exercise your full right as a consumer and purchase a prepackaged good by the unit day. What does this mean? You can supposedly take one Coke can out of a coke box and buy it individually, it's your right as a consumer. I didn't take it that seriously. Instead I went to Albertson's and took a rose out of a dozen roses and asked the lady at the counter if I could buy it. She said "Sure, I don't see why not." I purchased said rose and am waiting for someone to give it to. It's kinda dead now though... :(

Day 127: Office gossip day. The book provides a list of names of people being "laid off" that I was supposed to post in the office to freak people out. A few problems with this: I don't have a job. Okay, that's not a FEW problems but A problem and THE problem. I couldn't do this day without a job so it ended in default. Default = success.

Day 128: Try a new fruit today day. I decided to try elderberries! See a trend here yet? The quote I would have taught the parrot is from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" and elderberries play an important plot device in the same movie. Elderberries are kinda... odd. They taste kind of like a weird mix between grapes, blue berries and cherries. Not bad but it was a little different than I'm used to. I'd eat them again though.
