I lean over the counter, in slight hand writing the word "Visitor" in the top left hand corner of sticker after sticker. In the right hand corner, I write the date "12/25/2006". It's Christmas Day. From my scribbling imagination forms an elf carrying a gift, giving the thumbs up. He's got curly hair and pointy ears and doesn't mind hanging out with me all day on this quiet, hollow holiday in the big drafty waiting room of the ER. Today is the first day that I've noticed that my shiny new computer doesn't have a CD drive. I've spent the first hour of my morning very productively navigating the media player's online radio site for some good Big Band stations, preferably a Big Band Christmas station... still searching....in the meantime, on the jukebox in my head, The Ravens' "White Christmas" winds around and around as the rain outside falls down. I think I may be going into a diabetic coma. The nurses keep coming up to my desk and force feeding me Christmas chocolate. Damn them and their chocolate mousse bonbons. So, I want to share this with you. I've made a few copies of this out-of-print gem to give to friends this holiday season. 1. White Christmas - Ravens 2. Far Away Christmas Blues -Little Esther Phillips 3. Love For Christmas -Felix Gross 4. Trim Your Tree -Jimmy Butler 5. Wonderful Christmas Night -Dan Grisson 6. Rudoph The Rednose Reindeer -A.B. Green 7. Silent Night -Big Maybelle 8. White Christmas -Charlie Parker 9. Mr. Santa's Boogie -The Marshall Brothers 10. Christmas Blues -Gatemouth Moore 11. Christmas Blues -Washboard Pete 12. Frosty The Snowman -A.B. Green 13. I Want To Spend Christmas With Elvis -Debbie Dabney 14. Santa's Secret -Johnny Guarnieri Released in 1994 on Savoy Jazz (...where bebop began and the artists still swing...), this little compilation is especially notable for the terribly addictive rendition of White Christmas by the Ravens, Jimmy Butler's gyrating Christmas Shag-a-thon "Trim Your Tree", Big Maybelle's beautifully soulful "Silent Night", and Johnny Guarnieri's hilarious side smile "Santa's Secret". By the by, the Ralphie count this morning was very, very low. Surprising. Last year it was so high that I warned all of my friends with small children to buy protective gear (i.e. - helmets, elbow pads, knee pads, full body armour) to avoid forevermore the peril of Christmas morning excitement/present-opening maiming/accidents. Have a safe holiday, my friends, and take care. I'll be at the Bottletree tonight for a little after-work/family dinner drink. I'd love to see your lovely faces. cheap microsoft office cheap corel draw

One must read this post and comments from Reason. It epitomizes the ordinary citizen's lament. For further evidence , one may profitably consult the following: "The Silliness Continues (Hide for Cover)" "Stalin's Atom Bomb" "Taking Inventory" "When 'Wrong' Matters" "The Tinker's Damn" In other words, many of us "get" the histrionics, the symbolically empty gesture, the ludicrous inanity, the farcical carnivalesque, religious hackery of government, etc. But just as many of us simply don't care! And worse, 35% (composed entirely of Evangelicals) thinks this is real and good. Add together the last two of the groups together, and one reaches "critical mass" and a "ruling majority." So, while it's laughable, it's not funny. That's all. corel draw cheap microsoft office

It's 1:09 in the morning. You're still at work finishing off that stupid campaign that your Account Executive filed in late because he didn't have time to do it before he went to the movies. I mean meetings. You already ate your damn CEO/Creative Director paid pizza and soda. Suddenly, in a dark conference room... you hear voices. You hear the telephone dialing. You feel someone walking. Yup my sweet friends. In all my years of advertising, I've heard about supernatural stuff happening. And it kills me every single time - of laughter. I've heard stupid stories about ghosts, strange voices, stuff moving... Everything your M.Night Shamalayan would pay hard cash to write about. But! I have a theory! Yes, another damn theory! It's US!!! We're so desperate to go home and sleep, we think up some stupid ghost story so we work faster and go home. I've even said that since I'm a small woman there is no way that I'm staying at the agency alone. Ha. It always worked. I got to go home and finish the other day. But on some occasions, it just happened that one or two coworkers would stay - then my plan became shit on a stick. So, if you see dead people, it's not really that. It's just that deeply, you wish you saw your bed. Deal with it. cheap microsoft office cheap corel draw

Every damn time I receive a campaign request, I get the three headed beast: Print ads, radio and TV. No way to get out of it. No way to escape. It's either that or I die. Why? Why? WHY? Is it a commandment from God? Some kind of weird thing that Media Planners have on their brain? Em... is it some kind of sexual preference? Does that boring media planning make them horny? Oh man. The atrocity. Look, I don't have any problems with your everyday advertising. I just think that it deserves to be thought of in a more interesting way. For example: I had a media planner tell me that I had to write a radio campaign for shoes. Shoes. SHOES. Shoes that you see. That you put on. That you decide if you are going to buy them or not, depending how they look at your feet. What the fuck can I possibly do with this bit of information? Nothing. For me, it's a waste of time. There are hundred of products that don't necesarry apply to a specific media. But, with all the business deals between ad agencies and radio companies, we at the creative department have to write up some stupid thing we know, deep in our gut full of pizza that it's just wrong. Hey, if you have a decent amount of money for your ad, you can either save a bunch by switching to Geico (sorry, I had to do it) or ask for your creative department to present a different approach to your media planning. Why? Here's a hint, you clients out there (at least the ones that we haven't pissed off while ranting about art changes): we know what works for you. We know about sizes, about colors, we know how to get attention in a more different and witty (yuck!) way. Media planners sometimes just think about prices and numbers, clogging up every possible media for you to be seen... But I think that's just wrong. There can be a hundred ways to advertise and be heard, seen or talked about without using combo number 3. And, by the way, think about it. If your product just doesn't click in Tv, or in radio... Do something else, dammit! Don't waste your money just because! Well, if you want to waste it, go right ahead. I'm size 6 shoes. Go Jimmy Choo!!! cheap corel draw cheap microsoft office

I recently tried Restrictions Apply's idea that every damn job has a price and that I should not underprice it, just because of being afraid of losing a project. Whoa. I was amazed. I started pricing on what I believed was fair. No one even flinched a bit. And the ones that did, well, they got a cheaper price from a cheaper design studio. Go ahead, cheap client. You suck, so you deserve your ad to suck too. I recently quoted some flyers at a nice price. The client went missing in action. Weeks later, I heard that the client paid some 75 bucks per piece to a local Corel Draw user dude. The designs were awful. Well, well. Good for them. You want a crappy price, you deserve a crappy art, dammit. Clients sometime think we have all of those designs ready to go and that we don't spend any damn time working on them. Add to that the fact that we sometimes are tired, having problems at home or passing a night of sex and alcohol... I mean tired! Tired! Ha. We sometimes don't come up with creative ideas or cool designs right off the bat. And that time, well, it's on their bill. I don't care if I do it less than an hour or a whole fucking day. If I sit down to do your ad, you better pay me what I damn deserve and something extra. Me love you long time, but no money, no honey. cheap corel draw cheap microsoft office

Pop quiz, hot shot: how many times you wake up not wanting to do anything? Ah. What a glorious . I have been known to wake up, go to work, and proceed to ram up where the sun don't shine every single job I receive. The pleasure? I proceeded to get paid. HA. Let me pause for a second here and clarify something: for those out there who think that wasting time is a way of life at your current job: you suck hairy balls. Really. Being a lazy ass dude who proceeds to ignore the day to day jobs that come in because they are so busy looking at Archive or playing their garden variety Tetris suck long and hard. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves. Just look at the poor, slimmer by the day guy right next to you, that hasn't seen his daughter because he's doing YOUR damn work. Shame, shame. Anyways. Let me get off the soap box. Where was I? There is something very dirty and pleasurable about deciding not to work one day. We deserve once in a while for a day of nothingness. When I started working I felt guilty about it. Hm. Not anymore. I've worked and paid my dues. It's time to take the day off. And if you are slaving away at your department... do it. Yeah baby. Whip out some DVD's or a cool magazine. Have a good one. On the house. cheap microsoft office cheap corel draw

The second incident I remember about my 2nd Standard, is my fracture. It was a really funny incident, and even now when I come to think of it, the only thought I get is "How could I have been so stupid?". It all started on the third day after I joined. I was passing through the central hall between the dormitories, when I happened to see, some of the seniors in their dormitories having a hand-stand race. I was really fascinated by it. I mean, I had never seen anybody do such a kind of thing even in the movies. Immediately, I went back to our dormitory and started attempting the same. needless to say, even after about 40 trials I hadn't even got started. Then came the most stupidest thought. I still don't know if the idea itself was good and the execution flawed or vice-versa. But, the important point is that it got me a fracture. I decided that although I didn't know how to do it, if I tried to do it on the steps leading down to the lobby, somebody who knew, would notice my efforts, appreciate my dedication, and get right down to teaching me. It might have still worked out, if someone didn't have a bigger plan for me. Right at the moment that I started it at the first step and fell down there itself, NBR(N. Brahmananda Reddy, who studied with us upto 4th Standard) was passing by and he stopped. He asked me what I was trying to do, and I told him. He told me "It won't work this way, you wont get enough attention. Instead, if you try doing it on the railing(he meant the railing of the steps), everybody who is standing beside the steps for breakfast will notice you." Now, I was really beginning to get cold feet. I mean, I was literally wobbling at the knees. It was one thing to try it on the stairs where I would land on the next one if I failed, and it was entirely a different thing, to try it on the railing where if I failed, I would go all the way down. So I refused flat out to try such a thing and asked him"What if I fall?". He simply said, "I am there, I will catch you." Somehow I felt a lot more reassured and got ready for the big stunt. Everything went as per the plan, except the climax. I caught the railing with my hands and pushed myself upwards. Only to flip over and land on my hand, down the other side of the railing, in front of the toys showcase and beside some boys waiting to go in for breakfast. For a while I just lay there not even sure what had happened. And then I got up and found I couldn't feel my left hand. Poor NBR, was waiting on the stairs and was wondering where I had gone. I just didn't happen to fall on the side he was waiting to hold me. I remember walking to the medical room, and telling Aunty(I really don't remember her name, I think it was Radhika or something like that, something that started with an R. She loved to write the most nasty-tasting tablets and would almost always recommend an injection, and was therefore considered one of the top terrors in the hostel) that I felt great pain in my hand. She asked me how, and I told her, I slipped from the stairs and fell on my hand. She immediately gave me some damn injection(I knew I shouldn't have come there in the first place) and took me to the general hospital for a checkup. At the hospital I was made to undertake an X-Ray, and was told it was a fracture. So we went to the dressing guy(still don't remember what his official title is) and he put my hand in a cast. The first few days, were a real torture, as everybody who found me walking around in a cast, would stop me and enquire how I had got it. After the first few days however, I began to see the upside of having a fracture. Everywhere I went, I got preferential treatment. Even for food where everybody used to fight to go in first, I was allowed to go to the head of the line, just because I had a fracture. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. And so did my fracture, which was removed after a month. And boy, life did get back to its usual routine nondescript way. But not for long, adventure was never an earshot away from me. - GUPTA GHOST cheap corel draw cheap microsoft office

Via Thomas Hawk : Microsoft and RealNetworks Resolve Antitrust Case Damn. Real Networks sucks so bad. It has been the pariah that I never can seem to truly be rid of. It pains me to hear that seem to be getting a leg up here. NO. I don't want pop ups thank you. NO. keep your crazy software that wants to reinstall itself all the time to yourself. Get out of my systray. No I don't want "free" aol or internet. And god no. I do not want you as my primary player. I don't want the Real OneSearch Internet Explorer toolbar or any of your other spyware. I don't want to have to "register" my product with you and I don't want to be kept updated with your product news and updates. I hate you. Perhaps they're different now and perhaps I'm not giving them a fair shake as my only feelings about them are based on about six years of them trying to sell me things, making my toolbars flash with "update" requests and being told that whatever it is I wanted to play couldn't play because I need yet another download from them. Quite frankly I wish they could be driven out of business. Whether valid or not I have pretty strong feelings that they suck at present. I'll stick with Windows Media Player thank you very much. Maybe they are trying to reinvent themselves as a consumer media company but here's a hint. Change your name. People hate you.
