Pixar movie Wall-E

This weekend we figured that we would take our 4 year old to go see this movie. I was pretty excited since it was a Pixar movie. Usually they produce really good movies but I left feeling that it wasn't their best work. Maybe it is a movie that has to grow on you with time. Kind of like Kill Bill. Ha! Thats a funny comparison. Anyway, I guess I was disappointed since they jumped on the "Green" ban wagon basically. Don't get me wrong. I really like the idea behind being green but I can't stand that now it is basically a sell out maneuver.

HBO ran a George Carlin's comedy marathon yesterday. He sure is talented and I find it amazing how consistent his material is. He carries content over from one show to the next as if he was having a conversation with his audience. It also amazes me how after all the many years he was a stand up comic that he didn't change his opinion about anything from his previous routines. That part seemed questionable to me. I think the best part of his routines was when he would dissect what certain phrases mean. That was hysterical. The guy was an expert with language.

Today I added a link to my Pandora stations. I just bought some songs on Itunes from "TV on the Radio", "Laika" and "Bon Iver."

Today's Music selection...

This week I'm working on banner ads for the Better Business Bureau and the music I'm listening to is located on Pandora. The station is actually a featured station created by Pandora that features music from festivals. I will post a link to the banners as soon as I get them done. There are 27 of them and the first draft has to be completed by Friday at noon. Busy... busy... busy. I don't even have time to write about how annoying my co-worker is.

Sounds of creativity....

This is what it sounds like in my office. There is a guy in there who feels like he doesn't have to use ear phones and who listens to classical music all day long. He also mumbles curse words a lot and needs to blow his nose. So, I created this because apparently that is what a creative shop sounds like. :-)

Working from home today

Today I'm hanging out at home so I can work and save gas. I spend about $130 a week on gas and thats not including what I spend on tolls. Houston is way to big and everything is spread out every where. Fortunately I work for a really great company that allows me to work from home when I need too. Its also really nice since I have less distractions here. Well, I do have some laundry to do. Wait, Jack left all his toys all over the floor. Wow! Its such a pretty day, and my garden could use a little work. I should really use that elliptical machine in my bedroom.

I guess I just have different distractions here. :-) Is it lunch time yet?

Bloggedy Blog

Hello! This blog is brought to you by the Jennifer Allegiance Brigade. You will notice some handy dandy links on the side. I love collecting links and I plan to populate that area a lot. In addition to that, I plan to post some pictures here and use this area to practice writing. It’s sort of hard to do that when I'm not sure who my audience is. Well, let’s find out...
