Surviving the Workday

Last night, I dreamt that I was in a hell of my own making working at Noah’s Bagel Bakery in a strip mall in Stevenson Ranch with six women demons.

Sound strange? Not if you know that I watched a DVD on The Tibetan Book of the Bed before bedtime. This is the strangest religious DVD I have ever seen. Some notes:

a. The DVD is narrated by Leonard Cohen, which sounds much cooler in theory than it is in reality. He has a great voice, of course, but it sort of lulled us into apathy and lethargy despite seeing dead people on screen.

b. There are a few clips of the Dalai Lama, in which, I swear on all that is holy, he sounds exactly like Julia Child. Blame the low production values. This realization was enough to awaken us from the Cohen-induced-apathy into fits of glee.

c. Have you ever taken ’shrooms? Because you’ll enjoy Part 2 of the DVD and the demons.

Tibetan Book of the Dead. Read it. Don’t see the video unless you liked the ’shrooms.
