Things that is true about America:
1) They have curfews. They actually have curfews if you’re under some age, depending on the state. I know! It’s crazy!
2) Everyone sues everyone. They talk about suing on the street, they have billboards that encourages people to sue, and lawyers have way too many ads on TV (always with a catchy jingle to remember who to call)
3) And their commercials in themselves are awesome. They’re so corny, cheesy and downright embarrassing that I wish I could tape them. Again music is key.
There are probably plenty more, but those are what come to mind. However, I do love this country so far. Just like I’ve always done.
Today has been uneventful, but satisfying. I drank coffee in the morning while working on my budget – something that I love somehow; I guess I’m like my mother that way. Anyway, I was waiting for the Rail Runner which is the best transportation in the world! You want to know why? Because it’s actually funny. Every time it leaves the station it makes the sound of the Road Runner, and that’s brilliant. I had no idea transportation would be funny. Anyway, I got back to Albuquerque, went to the House of Hippies (which it is now called), and read the Charles Bukowski I got from Sarah, one of the earlier mentioned skater girls, before she left for Phoenix in the middle of the night. I finished Margaret Atwood’s Cat’s Eye yesterday and it was freaking amazing. Anyway, Marielle entered the house, we talked a while and then I went to Satellite, a coffeehouse nearby, to work on Freckles, my new novel. I stayed there until 10pm, then left, and now I’m here, again in front of the computer.

Oh, and so many Americans don't even believe that I'm from Denmark when I tell them. They actually believe me to be American. Awesome!
That’s pretty much what has happened. And it’s kind of cool to know a city so well that you can choose not to be in it, and yet know where to go when you’re about to write some more on your novel. Tomorrow it’ll be all about Amarillo and if I get the chance I’ll go to see the crazy Cadillac Ranch, where some rich dude has decided to spend his money in an all too weird way. Maybe more about that later; maybe more about something else.
