"Well then, goodaye mate!"

I swear I have better things to do...

And Ed's too!

Meet Ande!

We found her abandoned about two weeks ago and I have decided to keep her.

She's good for my heart!

They Call Me...Mixed Mediums

AT AT THE PLAYGROUND

Old School Shorts?

Anyone seen the ad on the reverse side of the back cover of the May 21 Sports Illustrated?
Check it.

Bay to Breakers

Total lunacy. It's like a walking costume party/race/Mardi Gras. Seven miles across the whole of San Francisco. Everyone arrives (that are drinking in the race, as opposed to running in it) around 7am at the start. Then you follow the closed course thru downtown, up thru some neighborhoods, and finally down into Golden Gate park. Very hard to describe. Very awesome to go.

Beware: Peter Cottontail

Sarcastic animals crack me up

It's Friday. So, why not.

Meanwhile....

According to Fast Company jobs that will become extinct by 2016 include bloggers, ad creatives, auto mechanics, US high-tech jobs and Indian call centre operators.

Indian calls centre operators have the same relevance level as ad creatives.
Happy Friday.

Ford turns luxury cars into Fords.

First Ford acquires Jaguar and turns their X-type into a glorified Mercury.

Then they acquire Land Rover whose new LR2 looks like an Explorer.

What gives?

Cosmic...

i'm so glad i'm not in high school anymore.

Tom?

When Barrie and I first got here, Clarence introduced us to this dude who he said was a spitting image of Tom.

Agree?

And here's Mike at age 9.

The last time Maybelline pushed make-up for men...short fad

creating...intimacy?

we all saw barrie, alexis and chopski/schilling's strategy come to life rather nicely with the TLC work. after reading a recent article about how no one wants to travel here (http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/2/story.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=10436518 -i know! i have to learn how to create links. i'm re-re.), i wondered to myself, "whatever became of 'See America'?"

upon visiting SeeAmerica.org, i was saddened because it seemed as if it was exactly the same...but, wait...there's more...

http://www.eusatravelguide.com/welcome.php?lang=en

they've included a link to a separate site that utilizes some of our recommendations (albeit in a terribly art directed/designed/copywritten way). i.e., emo maps along with featuring info and pics on the various regions, a la Australia. you can also click onto a guide that features one of the logos designed by the awesome design kids (i love you merkin.) it's totally ugmo, but i guess it's a start. hopefully, it's just a start.

and then randomly, there's a "Discover America, Sweden!" site.(http://www.discoveramerica.se/).

so, in other words, it all still sucks.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I Found Robert!

However, Caroline is still M.I.A.

Super Secret Location

This is the Tourist Club. Pretty famous out here. It's an Austrian Beer Haus in the middle of Mir Woods. It's about an 1 1/2 hour hike up and up through the Redwood Trees. Once there you are greeted with other hikers, weird cured meats, boardgames on the huge communal tables, and some of the most amazing views ever.
Apparently they have live bands play in the summer. It's amazing. Come and I'll show you.

ok. domenique introduced me to this. i can't take full credit.
this blog is one of the best things ever. no really, it is. not like when tom says that legends is the 'best bar ever.' because that's just a total lie.

the author lives in brooklyn, has an amazing cat that has digestive problems and a huge attitude problem, and he writes about bad TV shows as well as other ridiculousness on TV. not like some gossip blog. it's intelligent and quick witted.

i highly recommend wasting a ton of time on it.

amazing blog of incredibleness

the good old days

it's amazing what you think is totally normal when you're little.
for instance this show.

it don't make no sense.

Mandatory Posting Day

Can you peeps post some more stuff on this blog? I think this should be a mandatory posting day. In or out. Everyone needs to post something.

Did ya'll ever watch this show? Best show ever. I miss it. And if anyone (besides Felix) can name the show you get extra credit.

Happy Spring

It's finally getting warmer here.

The wife: It drips a lot of oil, doesn't it?

Capt R: All diesels do that.

Martin Short: All diesels do that, honey.

Capt R: Diesels love oil like a sailor loves rum.

Martin Short: Yes! Why is that, Captain Ron?

Capt R: Nobody knows.

boring, work-related question...

does anybody know of any focus group facilities in oklahoma city?

doesn't matter if you've used them or not. i've got nothing...

Look at this happy chap!

Enlighten me.

Maybe I'm just old, or maybe I'm just distracted by all of the new vocabulary words with the root "twitter," but I seriously don't understand the appeal of this. For me it seems like wasted time that I could've actually just called, IMed, or texted a friend to tell them about an atrociously awesome quote from ANTM. And if you don't know what that even means, then why would you want to be notified of it when I actually did twitter it?

At first I thought I was just missing something, but Kate assured me that I wasn't alone in this confusion.

It has 100,000 participants, which I realize isn't a lot in the grand scheme, but it's still enough that it's weird.

Seriously? Luggage tag day?

Went to a Mets game this Saturday. Super day. Sun was out, Mets won!

But you know how you go to games and sometimes they have free t-shirt day, or bat day, or hat day or something, when everybody gets something free.

Well, Saturday was free luggage tag day. I'm serious. Luggage tag day... what a crock!

The good times as they once were, the good times as they will be again

I love you all.

An email from an old professor at Tech:

Dear ACIS 3314 Students,

My family's worst fears were confirmed a few hours ago. My daughter, Austin Michelle Cloyd, was one of the victims in Norris Hall. She would have been 19 years old next Tuesday. My family hurts deeply for the loss of our precious baby. We ask that you pray for us and for the rest of the Virginia Tech community that has suffered so greatly. At this point I don't know how or where our class will continue. The guest speakers scheduled for April 25 and April 30 may carry on, but in a different location. Expect to receive an email from Professor Brown or an announcement on Blackboard about this.

If we don't meet again, your final assignment from me is perhaps the most important lesson you will learn in life. Go to your mother, father, brothers and sisters and tell them with all your heart how much you love them. And tell them that you know how much they love you too. Go out of your way to make good memories. At some point, these memories may be all you have left.

May God bless you all,

Bryan

a Felix birthday

Felix!

It was so good. We drank a lot (champagne included). We also told some QUITE interesting stories about classmates. If you're reading this, hey, we may have talked about you. Nothing bad though, don't worry :) It was Felix, his friend Jaime, Kristen M, Amy N, Kate and myself @ Highline in the Meatpacking District. Delicious. We wish you all could have been there.

16 April

Happy Birthday Felix!
