Now showing at ChildofFortune.com, a unique exhibition of the Art of Abby Lazerow, a painter of extraordinary depth and sensibility, as well as tremendous technical skill. A lambent light suffuses her recent water paintings. Other works are steeped in symbolism that is rich and never overwrought.
Called by Wired magazine "perhaps the most vivid dreamscape ever to reach movie screens," Richard Linklater's "Waking Life" is a movie you should have already seen, and I you haven't, do it tonight. This film plays the "Am I dreaming or awake or dreaming I'm awake?" until you lose all sense of reality. If somebody hasn't called it "My Dinner With Andre In the Afterlife," I just did.

Don't have time to read Phil Dick's beautiful ultrashort novel, "Eye In the Sky"? Boohoo for you, so read this book review by Charles Carreon that takes about 90 seconds to blast through, and then you'll make time! Major cultural upgrade with Buddhist side-dish!

And no one better to make the point than Loren Eiseley, whose classic of science-poetry and lyrical naturism leaves one reeling like an orangutang drunk on rotten papayas laying out under the banana trees and the spinning stars. Yes, "The Immense Journey," laid out for your delectation by the mad archivalist.
Forward this to at least ten people and at least one of them will thank you. If you are the last person to receive this, and you own a duck, it will quack.
