Guess I don't need these boogie shoes anymore.

Well, THAT'S not very encouraging!

It's just a slight correction!

As my friend Donna Matias points out, Dan Baer really should be working at the Department of the Interior. *rimshot*

Put your head into comfort with the Ostrich Pillow

From the maker: 
"OSTRICH PILLOW offers a micro-environment in which to take a
warm and comfortable power nap at ease. It is neither a pillow, nor cushion,
bed or garment, but a bit of each all at the same time. It’s soothing cave-like
interior shelters and isolates both your head and hands, perfect for a power
nap. You can use the Ostrich Pillow at your desk, on a bench, on the train or
while you wait at the airport!"

Performing Masculinity? Meow!

Decisions, decisions!

I was leaning toward the Bloods, but Mom pointed out how
good I look in blue. 




So I pledged with the Crips!

"Gaze into my eyes—Wait, no, I'LL gaze into YOUR eyes...."

Braco is a gazer. Not a shoe-gazer, but a healing gazer. That is, he will gaze at you and then you'll feel better.




Confused? Okay, this is from his website: After receiving Braco's beneficent, silent gaze "people
describe being touched by an invisible and silent power which opens them to new
and better possibilities. And as they assimilate this silent power, it can
result in healings and life transformations..."




You can also stream his gaze. (I love that sentence.) I also
love imagining what Braco is REALLY thinking about while he's gazing. For example (above right), "I'm going to go with the taquitos for lunch."

Get "The Sounds of Fans" CD!

This amazing collection has songs—okay, tracks—with titles like "Afternoon Nap" and "Front Porch in the Summertime."



How effective can the sound of a fan be? Just read this user review:

“This music is cheaper than a new fan, well except those
electrical hazards waiting to happen you find in the cheapo shops. So I paid my
money and downloaded.
 “Finally I could close my eyes and turn my hifi up to just
the right level to hear the fan just like it was here with me... cooling me...
and it worked, I felt so much cooler, as if a magic glacier of ice was sliding
over me.”
