Some days, hippie guru advice is just annoying. I can’t be bothered with it. But on others – when Chandler’s couch is a metaphor for getting crushed by consciousness – I’m magically more open. Such was what I encountered today when I clicked on this Youtube video some yoga chick had made about “releasing fear”. Her point (painted in what some might call fairly esoteric language) was that when we’re.. Read More
Vacations: frills and chills? Or cheap and tropical?
Last year, on a day not terribly different from today, I was dreaming of spring. And as I did, I ended up writing an armchair-interactive-travel blog. In it, you all boarded my plane and we jet-set off to the Ice Hotels of Switzerland and Kinkade-esque Christmas towns, before staying at some strange underground aquarium ceilinged bedchamber at the bottom of a luxury resort in god-knows-where.

I’m not that well read on hunting, but I assume it’s a morning sport – judging from when I hear the proximate firing. It doesn’t bother me, much. Generally, I’ll don a bright red or pink something to make sure I.. Read More
