Behold the Ultimate Stock Photo

Today I spent 40 minutes looking at stock photos of dudes in suits. I saw 500 multicolored handshakes, 250 men pointing at whiteboards and millions of dollars worth of dollar signs.

With this helpful insight, I’ve composed the ultimate stock photo to fit all your business pitch needs. (Please see below.)
There is only one place stock photos belong, and it’s here.

I bought the books for their covers.

I never can resist walking by The Strand. Today I had to buy a dozen old school books because of their cover art. Now what to do with them all? (After I read them of course.)

I'm considering turning one into a clutch by hollowing out the pages and adding a clasp. This way, I'll always look smart when I go out.

Anyone need pictures of Colonial Lighting? If so, let me know. I have a surplus.

I am also now the proud owner of the following titles:
"Everyday Weather and How it Works"
"The Chinese Civil Service"
"Soviet Foreign Policy"
"Patchcraft"
"Modern Women in Love"
"Conditioned Reflexes"

Please let me know if you need the knowledge from any of these resources before I destroy them with craft projects.

He might not be real, but I think the cats and their ladies are.

Someday I will write for Sweethearts.

In the spirit of starting Megan NYC Adventure Chapter 2 tomorrow morning, I was cleaning out my room and came across two boxes of Sweethearts (original and dazzled edition).

First of all, the dazzle edition is exactly like the regular candies except the blue hearts have sparkles. (I'm not sure what eating sparkles does to your body. We will find out.) However, out of 66 sweethearts, only 40 are legible. Come on Sweethearts, what do you think you’re a candy or something? You were intended to be read first, and then consumed. Get your priorities straight.

On that note, I’m adding write for Sweethearts to my list of things to accomplish before I die. “Tweet me” was a great edition, but I’d like to see some more customized sets. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for the “I don’t have a sweetheart” edition for those who are loveless on V-Day, or maybe even a state of the nation set.

Until then, check out the Sweetheart sayings over the past decade for an interesting look at pop culture and technology.

Sometimes working in the advertising industry feels more like being on Survivor.

Imagine this: Your agency is your tribe. No matter how much you may dislike your tribe-mates, you always want your tribe to win in a reward challenge (aka a pitch). However, you'll have to work together to get there.

The same people will always win immunity. They're the alpha dogs and creative all stars. Try to form an alliance with these folks.

Jeff Probst is always on the island when outsiders are watching, but never has to sleep there. Some may call him the boss.

Your head will always be on the chopping block. There is only so much food, and if you under perform, it’s likely you won’t be given dinner. Or worse, your tiki torch will get snuffed after you've completed your work.

You won’t sleep often. In fact, at times, the only difference is that you’ll gain weight instead of losing it because you’ll sit on your ass all day staring at a computer screen.

*Please note, I tend to over exaggerate. Don't bother ruffling your feathers.

Cats & Mullets: A new project from Aeryn and Megan

Get excited because I’m working on a new project with the talented Aeryn Daboin. It’s all a work in progress, and I have no idea what the final result will be. However, here is a hint: it involves cats, mullets and yes, maybe even rat tails.

Could this be a new social networking site for mullet rocking cat lovers? Or, perhaps a network to unite lonely cats with lonely mullet folk? It could even manifest as a cat parlor specialized in giving kitty mullets.
