love. love, love, love. love.

love.

A few people mentioned this video in my inbox. I shared it on my facebook a few weeks ago, because I thought it was really powerful, and it’s definitely worth sharing. Hear Katie Makkai’s beef with “pretty”.

hope is a finicky beast.

you let it get too low, you get depressed.

you let it get too high, you get disappointed.

perception is reality

Panera says they like to think of their cafes (ugh, if you can call them that) as an “everyday oasis.” This makes me think of women schlepping in in their workout gear and/or pajamas, sprawling out over a booth like nobody can see them, and foodgasming over their frozen creamy coffee concoction and broccoli cheese soup out of a bag.

Eek-sauce.

graduation weekend

Fri, 18 May 2012 20:12:21 -0500

it’s graduation weekend, and everyone my age is graduating with master’s degrees and more. i’m happy for them,

but,

i’m suddenly realizing how much i see education as a status symbol.

and i’m thinking, should i go back to school? (for real, that is. for more serious things than just breads and pastries.)

adteachings:

This could also be the welcome letter at the world’s best creative agencies.

^^ I disagree. I hope nobody claims their “life’s work” to be anything related to advertising. And yes, I work in advertising.

Google thinks I need help with some bat poop clean-up. This is highly disturbing. Pretty sure “guano” is nowhere to be found in my inbox.

"budget scrubbing"

Tue, 17 Apr 2012 16:33:14 -0500

Client: Yes! Social media is important!! We need a summer Facebook promotion!! Show us what you got!!

Us: Here it is... It's awesome!!!

Client: It is awesome! But we like this part of this idea, and that part of that idea, plus our goals are changing.

Us: Ok... Here's the answer to that!

Client: Just kidding, we're changing direction again.

Us: Ok... We'll wait for more info.

Client: Here's more info! How about this really terrible, plain vanilla idea? What can you do with that?

Us: Um... We can do... Sampling?

Client: No, sampling is too difficult. We don't like shipping product.

Us: Ok. Hang on. We'll be back with something ELSE that uses the budget we've been talking about for months.

(Many rounds of internal revisions later...) Us: Tada!!!

Client: This is awesome! It's on brand, on strategy, we love it! But... We're going through some budget scrubbing. We might not be able to spend money on a summer promotion. We need to figure out where social media fits in our priority list.

strangers in my 'hood

Living and working in the city, I see some interesting things from time to time (to say the very least). But never have I ever seen a wild turkey — yes, a real, live, wild turkey — just chillin’ on top of the cab of a parked pick-up truck. In the middle of the city.

Birdy, what the heck you doin’??

Art’s great nudes have gone skinny

Italian artist Anna Utopia Giordano has created a visual re-imagination of historic nude paintings, had the subjects conformed their bodies to what the 21st century considers an ideal of beauty. The results are revealing—and quite shocking in what they say about the modern attitude toward women’s bodies.
