Heh. Well, I've only been on the jumbotron once, and the camera was really on the family in the row in front of us (this was pre-Annabel). And if I've been on TV, apparently no one who knew me was watching, because I haven't heard about it.
Somebody tell me to go write. Annabel is asleep, the game is over (we gained ground on the Angels, woo!), and DH is working on a project of his own. IOW, there are NO distractions or interruptions waiting to happen. This is RARE. But I'm not taking advantage of it because I'm stuck on how to write the next scene. I won't even dignify it with the term writers block (and anyway, Bernard Cornwell said at a conference I was at that there's no such fucking thing as writers block, if you mean to be a professional you do your job whether you're in the mood or not, and I agree with him). It's just pure procrastination. The scene is in the POV of the character I'm having the most trouble writing, and it's a sort of tricky action scene, so I'm stalling because it's not going to be easy or fun to write.
It's just pure procrastination.
Sing it. I've spent all evening, trying to bang out 1,050 words on the environmental factors related to domestic and global marketing. I'm at 745...and BRAIN DEAD.
I have to writer a paper tomorrow. Ick.
WindSparrow, that is too precious for words!
Cutest thing!!
I know! One of my favoritest things nowadays is to see how happy Harvey is being skritched by Daniel.
I still need to get my own damn cat, though.
992 words. Getting close.
How had Technology helped McDonald's marketing?
They don't have to change the numbers on those "over 1.234567 billion served" signs by hand every day?
The lit yellow arches instantly ID a McD's anywhere from quite far away day or night.
You mean electronic technology or any kind?
I'd think new cup technology has helped them (yes, this sounds silly, but, as the daughter of a Diet Coke from McDonald's junkie, I swear it's true)
The Hamburglar is now required to wear one of those electronic ankle bracelet tracking thingies....
In a broader sense, can we say that cheaper, more automated manufacturing over the last couple of decades has made the Happy Meal possible? Very effective for the nabbing of the loyalty of kids all across the country, if not of the entire world.
Or does cheap foreign labor get the credit for that?
