On a more serious note, get some "one a day" exorcises and do those. And Liszt etudes are great for that.

Sight-reading includes a technical aspect.  If you don't already have those movements ingrained, reading becomes laborious because you have to read and figure out how to play at the same time.  If you already have to movement vocabulary ingrained, reading becomes vastly easier.  Thus, learn how to play as many patterns as possible and reading will be much easier.

I recommend Super Sightreading Secrets by Howard Richman.  You used to be able to download it for free.  I thought it was public domain, but apparently it isn't.  It's $14.00 on the official site.  I've read through some of it, and I think it is as good as it claims.
