The Ink Stain: March 2006

Monday, March 27, 2006. For those in advertising - a lesson well worth learning. Given my education, I might have fallen into this trap myself if I had not spent five years selling kitchen stoves door-to-door. Once a salesman, always a salesman. Extracted from Confessions of an Advertising Man. Pg 23-24, on the four problems of crisis dimensions the world of advertising faces. That was written by David Ogilvy in the 60s. If anything I think this obscene trend has only gotten worse since. Then one day out...

Tuesday, May 30, 2006. As a child, whenever I heard the song Ticket to Ride by The Carpenters. I would, loudly, correct the chorus. For those unfamiliar, it goes like this:. He’s got a ticket to ride.and he don’t care. At which point I would shout, DOESN’T! The pen was capped at 10:43. Friday, May 26, 2006. I don’t care what your credentials are. I don’t care if you’re a nice person or not. I don’t even care if you help old ladies cross the street or kiss stray puppies. Oh, and I think you’re a dick.

You know the sound fizzy drinks make? Like when they’re.umfizzing? Yeah, sometimes I hear (and feel) that same kinda sound happening around the back of my neck. Worrying? Slightly. Odd feeling?

The Ink Stain: October 2005
http://theinkstain.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 20, 2005. I've been searching for this high and low for years. And who would've thought I'd see it playing on a screen outside a CD/DVD shop while I was on my way to dinner. I FINALLY GOT IT! And it comes with special features, character profiles, trivia and the original script and all! I am one happy boy. Now, just to wait for Animalympics to be released on DVD. The pen was capped at 23:48. Thursday, October 13, 2005. I don’t want that in a partner. With a person who has so much experi...

Thursday, March 31, 2005. Last Friday was good. Two funny art directors, two copywriters who can’t draw to save their lives, a sleepy Adeline and a choya-fuelled Janice and Pictionary. Honestly, can you think of anything better? Just to add a little back story to the whole thing, an excerpt from ndr’s blog:. On Thursday morning,. Mom: We're going to Hong Kong tomorrow. Ndr: Oh, over the weekend? Then I don't have to take leave. Mom: We didn't buy a ticket for you. Mom: You said you didn't want to go.

I guess I just never saw the need or had the desire to celebrate birthdays or even mark the occasion with anything more than a quiet dinner with my folks. Of course, ndr changed that this year. :).

The Ink Stain: July 2006

Tuesday, July 25, 2006. I Can SO Relate. For the record, I’m not homophobic, although I do crack the odd gay joke now and then, more often than not at completely inopportune times and in the company of gays or lesbians (I don’t think I’ve ever shot myself in the foot in the presence of a gay AND a lesbian before). I think my mouth is getting sick of the taste of my foot. Click for enlarged pic! The pen was capped at 16:06. Friday, July 21, 2006. Thanks be to youtube. The pen was capped at 16:17. See more...

Wednesday, January 25, 2006. I will NOT be made to feel guilty. There IS work next week you know. I didn’t think unmarried people took such long leave. Not only do I think it’s unreasonable for him to say that, I think it’s completely inappropriate and uncalled for. So unmarried people don’t deserve a break? The pen was capped at 12:02. Friday, January 20, 2006. Apparently this is quite old, but I caught it recently enough and thought it was a hoot. The pen was capped at 18:05. Thursday, January 12, 2006.
