I think I've read that it's become conventional wisdom that "great" ads aren't actually good for selling, which makes sense if you think about it.
I guess that depends on how they are defining "great." I understanding re-thinking the budgets though.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Well, the ones where the next day you're all, "Did you see that commercial?? With the people flying and the colors and the...! What was it for? I dunno."

We'll know if that's really true if we don't get the Olympics in 2016. That's the sports thing I'm really hoping for. Well, that, and a Cubs World Series, but that'll mean that hell's frozen over, so...

Ok, I meant to tell y'all earlier, but I found exactly the piece of furniture I want for all my electronica storage. It was an antique writing desk. The top flips up with a set of drawers and storage slots and would fit a laptop at a comfy sitting height. The awesome thing about it is that instead of being on 4 legs, its base is a block that you can still sit at, with 2 columns of 6+ drawers on each side. It was this gorgeous mahogany and I loved the lines on the main structure. It smelled good. Unfortunately, it also had faux front legs that I knew every time I saw them, I'd recoil. My style is much simpler, less chunky. If I'm going to spend $400 on a piece of furniture, I'm gonna have to like more than just its function and form, I have to like the style.
But now I know what to look for.
