snow day.

today was a snow day for much of manhattan. which is really odd when you think about it because i figured as a city, we would be more than ready for a snow storm. we do have an underground transportation system afterall. but really, it gave everyone and their sweatered dog a reason to leave work early or not go to work at all. which is fine by me.

except, snow hurts. i was pelted in the eye twice by those pretty, light-as-a-feather droplets of frozen beauty. straight in the eye. and it didn't hit me gingerly either. it was like the firing of a musket from above straight into my eye. my left eye, both times, to be exact. that story is neither here nor there.

this week has also given me my first foray into food poisoning. judging by the effects i endured, i would never wish for that on anyone. the jury is still out on the culprit of said poisoning, but let's just say i haven't really changed my diet. i will never learn. but it did make me yearn for my mother and her tender care to take excellent care of me. instead, i hobbled to my own kitchen to fetch my own water which was just a tad to cold for my poor souls liking. and i am kidding. but not really. i do miss my mom and her always there with food and drink self. it's hard being an adult and taking care of yourself. i should have been better prepared for life.

internship is going well too. i have realized i excel in my writing once i have a greater understanding of the client and the actual goal of the campaign. and i guess that is a pretty duh statement, but once i get emotionally invested, we are good to go.

and classes are going well. i like the copywriting class more than the portfolio class. which is ridiculous because the are basically the same class, just in a different building with different professors. but i like the criticalness of them. and the ability to show my work, however shitty it is. more on the classes later for sure. i am going to bed because i am le tired.

oh look, the future is portable.

that above article is really quite interesting on what the future will be for computing. but also, will bring about a new way of advertising? a cleaner way of advertising perhaps?

i don't actually own an iphone. and it isn't because i don't dream about it on a regular basis. i am an apple person. but my family has a carrier other than AT&T, and really, this is getting quite personal isn't it? oh well. i love apple products. end of the paragraph.

but really, i am trying to make a point on advertising. such as, how will advertising work on these new pads? how will advertising work for these new "apps" that are what some say are improvements on the original site. and by some, i mean the person who wrote the article.

i hope advertising does become cleaner. and less annoying. but i wish we didn't need a new thing to do that for us.
