not the trolls I was thinking of, but yes. them too.
Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

I work in an industry where the job titles "Creative Executive" and "Creative VP" exist. I think that pretty much covers my particular flavor of hell.

They wanted to feel the wind of the cars rushing by accompanying the sound and video that I'm going to be doing for them.
As a bicycle commuter, I can testify that Porsches do not create much wind when rushing by. You hear the lovely sound of the engine approaching, but the car slices through the air so elegantly that it just flops back in place after the car passes. No wasteful turbulance streaming out to the sides. No bicycles blown into the ditch.
A truck trails a whoosh of air. A minivan trails a whoosh of air. A Porsche, just a whisper of regret that you don't own one.
Not that this has anything to do with effective marketing to people who can actually afford a Porsche. I'm sure that power does equal whoosh in most people's minds. But not for me.

Oh yeah, this gig is all about perception. Trust me. One of the things I'm being asked to pull off is the rumble of the engine using subs. Well, the flat 6 that your average Porsche has more of a roar than a rumble, so there's not too much down low to shake the subs. My trick is to add in the carefully sculpted sound of an earthquake or avalanche to make the subs shake and rattle when needed.

Just watched the last episode of the UK Office season 1.
Gareth crying in David's office made me hurt myself with the laughing.
And the final scene between Tim and Dawn in the bar, at the end, was easily as heartbreaking as the little Jim and Pam stuff I've seen in the US version.
We now have the US first season in from Netflix, and hope to watch that some time within the next few days. I can't wait.

ugg. Lunch. Friend took me out for my "b-day lunch". She's so sweet. We go to a fancy fish place (I'm allergic to fish). I get a turkey sandwich. They didn't list on the menu that it has mayo. I hate mayo. Now I remember why. ugg. It was a nice visit and conversation tho (must focus on that).

Did your friend know you're allergic to fish, omnis? Why didn't you say "No, let's go somewhere else?" (I hate being that clueless person, who, after you're already sitting down, someone mentions "oh, well, I'm not eating the brazilian barbecue because I'm actually a vegtarian..." and I'm like "Dude, we could've gone somewhere else!")
I pretty much live with my nose stuck in a book, I have to write directions down to remember them, I forget to pass spoken messages on unless I immediately write them down, etc. I'm weaker on non-verbal visualization--I don't get vivid mental pictures
Me, me! I'm so bad at hearing things and remembering them. Unless it's a song! I remember song lyrics. But for the life of me I couldn't describe or clearly visualize my best friend in my head...
