On solstices and equinoxes we do a 108 sun salutations in the yogic tradition. During medaitation, when I'm silently spinning the beads on my mala, I have 108 beads before my guru bead.

But why? When one of my student's asked, I gave a few of the stock answers I knew off the top of my head (proportionate distance between the sun, most common denominators, etc).

Here's a good read.

Via Iconoculture:

"Part wall of shame, part blame game, part dark comedy — the online photolog ThisIsWhyYoureFat.com is straightforward data wrapped up in a complicated package of consumer emotions."

In the photo is a meatloaf cake, the frosting is (presumably) mashed potatoes, the decorative lettering atop? Ketchup.

I was so proud of my super healthy buffalo meat loaf from last week and after seeing this, I kinda wanna die. Ditto on the bacon-and-fudge danish I saw.

Anyone wanna see my practicing?

I've been working on the flexibility in my thoracic spine as part of my 2009 goal of getting my foot to the back of my head whenever I want it there.

We're getting there. Also, apparently my ass is getting too big for my shorts. Thats nice.

Kitchy and fab:

Ellen and Portia, Rosie and Kelly, Jack and Ennis, as well as glam top hat wearing Giraffes(my power animal!).

In the water? Kenneth Starr, Larry Craig holdin' a toilet, and Pat Boone with his prop hate loving guitar. Oh, and Fred Phelps, of Westoboro Baptist Shame.

Thanks, Towleroad.

Create your own band and first CD cover, the Facebook way! This is how to come up with your own:
1 - Go to "Wikipedia." Hit “Random Article”
or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2 - Go to "Random quotations"
or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

3 - Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”
or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4 - Use Photoshop or similar to put it all together

5 - Post it to FB with this text in the "caption" and TAG the friends you want to join in. (you can untag yourself if you don't want this photo up)
