Today I watched a PBS biography on Cary Grant. Right after the show, they showed North by Northwest, a popular Hitchcock/Grant film and one I knew of because Saul Bass did the title sequence. Isn't PBS awesome?? I laughed out loud at the part where Eva Marie Saint says to Cary, "I'm a big girl." And Cary says, "Yeah, and in all the right places, too."

Just about a week ago, Josh and I actually followed through on something and attended the infamous and first annual DeLoach Peer 2 Beer Party, a crafty name that essentially means 'young people getting together to copy music illegally whilst bottles of beer sit in ice tubs.' (Mom, I told you the truth when I said I hate beer, in fact I share Dooce's philosophy that, "if you’re ...

Sometime in the middle of the night, I was awakened by the sound of my cats getting in the blinds of the windows by my head and knocking things over.

Take my word for it, just about ANY browser out there is better, especially at reading CSS sites like this one. Mozilla's Firefox is ...

This week was insane because I was working at a fairly large agency that's part of Omnicom, the corporation that owns some of the best ad agencies in the word like BBDO Worldwide, DDB Worldwide, TBWA Worldwide, Goodby Silverstein & Partners and GSD&M, who basically produce all the commercials and ads you come into contact with daily.

I know that one of my many faults is excessive TV watching and another is how much I post about stupid celebrities and stupid TV shows. That said, I can not believe how many commercial breaks there are during Oprah's show!! I mean, literally her guest(s) speaks for FIFTEEN seconds and then "we'll be right back." After a few minutes of commericials the cycle continues! It's as though ...
