The Killers

I love this new band. The Killers are awesome! I hadn't wanted to buy a new CD in a really long time. No new music had really called out to me. Then there was the Killers. The lead singer, Brandon Flowers, is so hot! But I didn't just listen to their music just because he's a hottie, I heard them before I saw them.

And other CDs I bought at the time were Gwen Stefani and Scissor Sisters. All great CDs. You totally need to listen to them. All three.

Lots O Stuff

Wow. I totally forgot I had a blog for a while. I've been super busy. Last semester was a doozy. Advanced campaigns took bunches of my time. We had our regional competition in April. My class was basically a mini advertising agency and our client was Yahoo. Well, everyone's client was Yahoo of course. I personally believe we hit the nail on the head. We were supposed to market to teens. And might I say, we did a bitchin job. We rocked! We had the BEST campaign. Comments after the presentations were over included the other universities saying we really hit the target and were scared they weren't going to win, that we would.

But alas, we had some pretty dumb judges who knew nothing about teens. I say this cuz a couple judges thought that teens wouldn't get into our idea of "Building Communities" and community service coupled with lots of promotions in a new web site this guy Paul from my class actually built which involved an online house the teens were building, as in a new web site house, for the exclusive Yahoo site just for teens. (In case you haven't guessed by now, we didn't win.) But the Sunday after competition there was this big article in USA Today about teens and community service!!! Take that stinkin judges!! Apparently teens DO get into that kinda stuff.

Okay, so there. I vented. Again. I vented lots in April and May. But yeah, we had a teaser commercial and a 60 second spot and a fully functioning web site built which no one else had. (And I was in the 60 sec spot.) I was involved in the filming of both and worked on the site a little. I was copywriter.

Okay okay okay. I'm really done now.

And now for something completely different....

I spent some time this month as a nanny for my younger cousins. But now that paying job is over. My brother's 21st birthday is coming up soon. Naturally he's excited about that. We all might be going to Las Vegas. Yeah!! I LOVE Vegas. I went for my 21st b-day. And we went like two years before that. And when I was a kid and again when I was in junior high. My parents went two months ago for their 25th Anniversary. Yep. We love Vegas. Course I also love Disney World but that's a whole other REALLY long story.

I got my cousins hooked on The Sims. And they've been watching the Simpsons now for some time. I think that's absolutely great. The Simpsons are like, classic, an American staple, the best cartoon ever. If you're wondering, my cousins are going to be 13 and 11 soon.

So I guess that's it for now. Maybe I'll remember I have this little blog and continue to put entries in it. Especially now that I have (anglelic music here) CABLE! Oh, those young, naive years with dial up. How did I ever live without cable internet??
