Sarah Palin's Skin

I'm entirely speculating, but this may be part of that fresh, youthful look.

Lets face a few facts, before the onset of science, shamans were shamans for a reason. Mostly because they were able to take the natural world around them and help the people within their tribe. We still have that ability today within ourselves.

With this product, I don’t guarantee anything other than it just MIGHT make you feel just a bit better. Not because of what it does to your face but what it does to your soul. It took thousand of years for the glaciers to bring the silt down to us so the soul of Alaska can be mixed with yours. Every grain carries a single memory about Alaska and with each use they will be brought to your minds eye.

A fine skincare product from Alaska.

Groundhog Day

For my first week of 12 hour workdays, I dreaded the 04:25 squawking of my alarm clock. It is just insanely early, and I could barely get focused all day. I began to feel like Bill Murray in the movie. There was just no way to avoid that damn alarm clock. Not only that, but every day seems the same, with all the time at work, there's not much else that I can get done.

Finally this Monday, I woke up bright and chipper, and ready to take on the day. I started doing what Murray did in the movie, I quit fighting it and tried to make everything as good as it could be in these circumstances.

First, in order to get enough sleep, I have a maximum of 3 hours of personal time between getting home and going to bed. So I have to make choices on what I do with that time. I'm trying to exercise when I can, and I cook my meals instead of getting fast food. I am abstaining from alcohol on work nights, the last thing I need is to wake up with my head pounding. Finally, I'm enjoying the challenges of work and trying to make a difference. I am even anxious to get to work to find out what happened on night shift.

But I'm still hoping to wake up and have it be tomorrow.

How did she get a cooking show?

This is amusing, check out Paula Deen Coronary Watch 2006 at TVGasm to see Paula drinking melted butter.

The most disgusting part is when she pours what's left of the butter into the food processor. Remind me not to eat anything cooked by this woman.

Also see the original Paula Deen Coronary Watch.

Resolutions I can keep

1. Avoid the candy dish outside my office door.
2. Abstain from alcohol consumption (except for weekends, vacations and holidays).
3. Workout regularly, including any day I can get from the office to the gym by 6:00.

What is his name?

I have always been lousy at remembering names, often to an embarrassing extent. Moving to a new area and starting a new job this week gave me a chance to try a technique for better remembering names. I heard the technique in a recent radio interview (I cannot remember the name of the person who was being interviewed).

The technique is when being introduced to someone new to mentally ask myself the question "What is his (her) name?" and then answering the question mentally. The results have been amazing. Of the 30 or so people that I have met, I know the names of at least 90% and have a good guess at the other 10%. In the past, I would be happy to remember 10%.

If you have this problem with names, give this trick a chance.

UPDATE & BUMP (from 10/30/07 to 11/10/07)

This technique really works. I'm still batting better than .900 with over 50 new names/faces. I believe this works similar to placing a shortcut on your Windows desktop. It establishes a pathway between the visual and memory portions of the brain, making that link immediately upon seeing the face again. I now have names pop into my mind without having to think.
