WATCH: 'Gone Daddy Gone' (MTV.com). Hot off this summer's hit "Crazy," Gnarls Barkley's new psychedelic video is fresh and quirky, with the band featured as animated bugs.

READ: 'Fragile Things' by Neil Gaiman ($27). This really creepy collection of stories shows that Gaiman may be the heir to Stephen King's Evil Empire. Our favorite? "Other People." Just don't read it at night.

SURF: spaweek.org for great deals on facials and massages. Treatments that were $100 to $200 will cost just $50 at participating locations.

LISTEN to doPi's karaoke video MP3 player ($60; dopikaraoke.com). Plug this gadget into your video iPod and you've got ... karaoke on the go. Your train ride just got more fun.

BUY: Chrissy bud vase ($8; target.com). Perfect for any room, it's just one of the fab pieces from Target's new Victoria Hagan collection.
