I've been listening to Brandi Carlile A LOT lately. Thanks to Andy, I have the whole album. I think he might like me. ;) But! This album is pretty fantastic. I had no idea who she was until one day when I was at my parent's house (remember I don't have a TV) and this commercial came on:
My dad mentioned he liked the song so I went and googled it. I found the music video and ever since, every time I get online I listen to this song over and over again. I finally got the album from Andy and my heart has been pleased ever since. I really like the song "Turpentine" as well. Then again I love the whole thing. Go download it.
Work went fabulous today. I'm surprised I haven't passed out in my bed yet. It was a looooooooong day, but I don't know that I've ever felt as productive as I have this week. We ran the new Men's merchandise on Tuesday, and may I just say how much easier it is to place new clothes when you know what it is and where it should go? It felt so good to put my plans into action. I seriously love my job.
The Gap is launching this campaign called "Vote for ______." We're selling these white T shirts that say just that "Vote for______." in black writing. You're supposed to fill in the blank with something you believe in. I still haven't figured out how to decorate mine, even though I was supposed to wear it this morning. I want to put, "Vote for keeping your own power." or something along those lines. I think it might be one of the greatest lessons to learn. To live for you and to claim your actions as your own with no apologies. Granted it's not an easy one to learn, but one can always use a reminder. I don't know how to make it all cutesy cutesy though. I'll figure it out... then I'll photograph it to show you! Go to this link----> "Vote for____."
I just got sucked into the vortex that is Gap Commercials on Youtube. Ha. You know, I've come to the conclusion I don't really like Sarah Jessica Parker that much. I like Carrie Bradshaw sure, but SJP herself? Not really.
Anyway. Check out the whole "Vote for____." thing. It's pretty neat.
We put up the new windows (for this campaign) today, and may I just toot my own horn and tell you how fantastic it all went? Everything was up and finished in the alloted time, and they look PERFECT. I did the kids posters and decals by myself in like 45 minutes. I finally feel like I GET it. I left feeling like I accomplished everything on my list this week and wasn't completely overwhelmed by feelings of failure. I am learning! :)
In other news, I played Spore at my sisters house. It's a fuuuuuunnnn game. Granted I haven't gotten over making my creature look either perverted or freaking awesome...but hey, I think it's amazing. :) Andy also gave me this dorky game to play, "Natalie Brooks, Secrets of Treasure house," and I played the whole thing through. At first I was like, YESSSS! A game like "Diner Dash!" I was totally enthused by collecting all the clues and figuring out this puzzle... when suddenly BAM! It was totally over. Shizam! You're a princess! Shizam! The police chief sucks! I collected pieces to a postcard picture and it never explained why or even what it was. Thus, the ending was inconclusive and abrupt... and dumb. I totally played through it twice to see if I missed something... but I didn't. I just sucked. Ha.
Oh! Speaking of games, I played "The World of Goo" at Andy's the other night. The objective: To collect as many balls of "goo" as possible. How you do this: There are these little balls you connect to each other and you build upward, the point being to not allow it to topple. You build until you reach this suction drain thing and it sucks up the extra balls of goo. My summary is kinda sucky, but this game is seriously sooo fun! That Andy is introducing me to such fantastic things, I adore him.
Anyway. It's getting mad late. 1:40. I don't work tomorrow, thank the lord for that. :) I think I'm headed to sleeeeeeeep.
Yay for stolen internet connections (or gracious neighbors)! How could one not love updating their blog in the middle of the week?
