I smell 5:00

And hopefully the end of my day! I'm sitting in my defacto partner's office...for now partner. Nice dude, very "California!" hehehehe (translated...that means MELLOW!) I'd say almost Mark Holden mellow...very cool (miss ya big guy!)

Anyway, we executed some print for the OTHER guy's campaign. I actually really like the work we came up with...super fun. But there are a lot of cooks in this kitchen, so we'll just wait and see. 5:00 is when we have this big meeting with all the super pimps in the agency (like V.V.V.P's and stuff) so who KNOWS what's going down...whatever. Just keeping my fingers crossed that I don't have to work over the weekend. It's never fun losing out on YOUR time, especially when it's for SOMEONE ELSE'S idea. Boooooo. Send the good vibes people! Geez, I'll have to make a button for that, seems like I ask often enough.

Regardless...looks like Mr. Defacto (that's my new nickname for my sutto partner) we're gonna be kickin' it Dove style. Good times...

Oops, gotta work. More later,

Unimpressed

I'd say...hands down...this is my favourite picture of my dad EVER!!! But that's not the point of today's post (although seriously...how wicked is this photo???)

Nope...today I am mourning the loss of 5 days worth of work. Yes, my Six Flags stuff is D.E.A.D. RIP. BUT other stuff (weird...inside jokey stuff) is moving forward (joy) and here's the best part...I GET TO WORK ON IT!!! (please note the sarcasm). Whatever. I'm just bummed. Anyway, just waiting for my "sort of" partner (I guess for now?) to come down so we can go over to the guy's office and get briefed (or see how we can do their work for them!) Uuggghhh. (reference photo...I'd say that's pretty much how I feel!)

Oh and why does it say, "Wrap it up" on the piece of paper? That's cause we were at this wedding and the speeches were going on FOREVER...so Dad held a silent protest. God love em'!

Enjoy all, more news/bitching later.

It's Thursday...

And I'm working. That's about as exciting as today gets. Sorry dudes...maybe something magical will happen later. In the meantime just trying to get this Six Flags stuff done (incidentally...it's KICKASS, I'm SOOOO proud of this campaign. Now we just need the client to echo those same sentiments and we'll be laughin').

Good vibes people!
Talk soon

P.S. There is NOTHING all -new, I'm just a shameless Blog Image Stealer (hmmm, perhaps a new support group I will start?!)

Inquiring minds want to know

Oops...I've been neglecting my comments section. Sorry.

Kathy asked a few questions. First...from the LDWW

"What's a Misto?"

Good question, since it is a drink NOT on the Starbucks menu. I like to refer to it as the Poor Man's Latte. But what is REALLY is...is coffee with steamed milk in it. Or how Starbucks refers to it as...

"A one-to-one mix of fresh brewed Starbucks® coffee and steamed milk. Also known as Café Au Lait or Café Con Leche."

Another question...
"Is there a Six Flags close to NYC?"

Hells ya!! We went to the one in New Jersey, about 90 minutes away from Manhattan. BUT there's a Six Flags near you. Check the site for deets.

Keep the questions a comin' and I'll try to answer them (or more importantly try to remember to).

Cheers,
Lisa C

I need the Internet at home

So sorry I haven't written sooner. Man...if i had the INTERNET at home I could write you ALL DAY about my adventures (or just the TV shows I watched) either way...there'd be communication. Instead we're backlogged and have LOTS to catch up on. And even MORE bad news...I don't have time to do it now (got briefed on a new campaign for Six Flags, well...most like we have to COME UP with the new campaign for Six Flags. So yeah, a wee bit stressful) seeing as it's due Thursday!

Uuggghhh Anyway...here's pics of Glyin's $300+ hotel room (and yes, that's a single bed!) I'd say it was around 150 square feet...SERIOUSLY! The shower also doubles as a toilet and a sink...all in one space. MENTAL!

Like I said...I'll elaborate further on this and other adventures soon. Right now...I got some brands to build (hehehehe)

The LDWW

Happy Friday Folks. Here it is...the LDWW (or Lisa's Daily Walk-to-Work). No naked people. No crazy mugers, just a pleasant, sunny Friday morning in NYC. I'm not gonna lie. My entusiasm today is a wee bit low, what I thought were allergies have matasticised into a full blown cold, a HEAD COLD at that. Uugghh. Send chicken soup...please. Hopefully an afternoon of sleeping is just what the doctor ordered (yes the new folks here at the big O are sweet enough to give me the afternoon off. Bless them). Just gotta do a 1:00 brief (for some general Six Flags work...so that should kickass!) and then I'm free to curl up and pout.

But before ALL THAT, let's experience the LDWW (wow, a lot of build up. I hope it's not TOO anti-climatic).

We start in my apartment building (sorry, not INSIDE my apartment, it's a TOTAL mess and void of any pictures or organization or anything for that matter, so please, let me get some stuff in there...so it looks a little less serial killer'esque and then I'll take some pics!) Rich is in town this weekend, so he'll be my model for most shots!My Apartment Building (or at least most of it...Jonah I need your styly' photography skills).

Yes, I realize I took this pic directly INTO the sun, not the most clever photography technique...but it IS my street (don't worry, I'll take better shots later, maybe an evening.

This is 9th Ave. I realize that in the second picture the world is slightly tilted. I assure you this is just the photographer in need of coffee and has no real-time reflection of the world's axis tilting here in Manhattan.

The BIG O!

Last but definately not least, the most important part of the LDWW...my coffee! Ahhh, Bless You mighty Starbucks. And incase you're wondering...it's a Grande Non-Fat, Extra-Hot, Mild Misto. Umm Umm Good!

There you have it, the LDWW. More exciting (or just maybe more...) posts to come. I have pictures of a 150square fooot hotel room that my friend Glynis was staying in (for $300 a night) and will posts pics of my friend's wedding that I'm attending this weekend in Central Park. Good times! Till then...have a great weekend and send Benadryl!

Workin' 9 - 5

Hells ya bitches!!! I got a brief (a boring one...some dull Google Ad words) but I don't care...I got something to do so I don't feel like a complete tool. AND I got chairs and bookshelves for my office (well...waiting for one more book shelf, so will take a pic once I get everything all sorted. It ain't pretty so if you guys could send pictures or suggestions as to how to decorate that'd be swell.

Also...there's been a request to see what my apartment, workplace, neighbourhood...etc, etc. SO tomorrow I will do "Lisa's Daily Walk to Work" (or the LDWW) So consider that your Friday treat!

More good news...I found out the girl who sits beside me IS my partner (WooHooo) so I DO have a partner (and apparently we're getting briefed on some Six Flags stuff soon...so the good news doesn't end!

Right...more pics later (I'll try to post as many as possible, since after all, it is ME in NYC so I suppose I should show a wee bit more of the city and not be such a lazy, steal pics from the Internet, kinda "blogger.") Dear God...I said it...blogger. Ewwwww!

More soon,
Lisa C

P.S. That pic is for you Paul F. Enjoy...
