Extraordinary Deviation from the Mean - a list by hanahula

About this list:

If you cannot take time off from work this summer, take a vacation from one or two of your habitual modes of being. If you always go conservative, try something a little more colorful in your wardrobe. If you always use email, try writing a letter. If you always watch independent films, try going to a blockbuster. If you always read non-fiction, venture over to the mystery or science fiction aisle in the bookstore or your local library. You get the idea. Deviate to rejuvenate.

Qualifications:

I will be taking my own advice. (Ask me how, if interested)

Speed Racer Cartoon DVD

First to recommend

Description

I was lucky enough to catch re-runs of Speed Racer on television when I was little. I clearly remember shouting "Go, Speed Racer, Go!" at the top of my lungs, as if Speed could really hear me. He was much more fun than Batman (and dressed better too). Now you can own the original series on DVD (along with some other goodies that are packaged alongside it.) If you can't travel in real time, travel back in time with some fabulous Japanimation.

UrbanOutfitters: The Night is Young Wall Mural by Aaron Morris

First to recommend

Description

This mural IS atmosphere, and if you do your best work/living after dark, you will thrive in its almost tangible glow of city lights. Assembled in six parts, it requires little effort to install and little effort to remove. The action comes to you . . . and ceases at your command.

Bas Bleu: Summer - A User's Guide by Suzanne Brown

First to recommend

Description

At least in the Northern Hemisphere, it is officially summer. And there are so many good things to do, to eat, to try during this all-too-short season. This book provides plentiful inspiration and instruction for making a sarong, attracting hummingbirds, identifying constellations and building sand castles. No matter where you find yourself this summer (city, country, beach, or mountains), you will find something new to do or a reminder of how to do something you once did as a child. For the little kid inside all of us big kids.
