So, while having a discussion with ravenworks it comes to my attention that I really don't relax enough. Even now, during my three days off, I'm working myself ragged for the Bakery, making cakes and Cuppies.

The discussion turned to what it would take to get me to relax. I was discussing about how I would like one of those wake-up clocks that gets a person up slowly, allowing them time to rouse from their sleep, since waking up an hour before work is hardly the best idea for anything, really. Gimme 2 hours, if I wake up at 5 in the morning, I get to have my morning cup of tea, I get to watch the sunrise from my balcony (which is currently in the process of being replaced due to Ontario governances) and I feel great when I get to work.

(While looking for that Wake-up Clock I found this amusing Youtube clip of a person's hand-designed alarm clock. Impressive and had me laughing!)

In any case, what came to mind for the most relaxing thing would be for me to lay on my bed, not be thinking about anything that has to be done at the moment (and that is the hardest part, right there) and listen to the sounds of a soft waterfall, generated by a silent-motor, with a cold damp washcloth over my eyes.

Come to think about it, I've also wanted to spend an hour in a sensory-deprivation tank, too. To take some time and shut off my mind for an hour or so... would be the most relaxing sensation to me these days.

In other stuff:
Here's some other neat timepieces. I've always fad a fascination with odd clocks (and gears, but that's another story altogether).
Yoshitoshi ABe draws with an iPad. I am enamoured with this man's work. To see him draw this in a matter of 4 minutes with his finger is just incredible. This is the first time I've actually coveted an iPad.
Koilos. I'm not sure what this structure is of, but it's fascinating to me.

Anyhow, I'm gonna go, and here's one more thing: 4:20 on 4/20's coming up fast. Here's a list from ExploreMusic.com (from the creator of The Ongoing History of new Music, Alan Cross) for Maximum 420 enjoyment. ;)

Ciao!

I also nominate venturing a little further east for a visit sometime. Relax with us!

(The other ideas are good too, though. ^_-)

It would be ultra-relaxing to come visit you two again. That week out there was a brilliant way to forget everything, and it's very refreshing to do so. :)

One Month!
