Today was a good day, another very productive day at work. I was joking that if I keep it up at this pace I’m going to run out of things to do by the end of the week! Hahah, probably not – I always manage to find more on my "to-do" list.
Tonight I went to the Rockies game with Sam. We had a lot of fun and the Rocks won (for once!) 9-4. It was a lot of fun and turned out to be a really nice evening. Of course that meant I got absolutely nothing done this evening, but I’ll make it up tomorrow.
Two quick things I encountered today that I’d like to comment on:
1) At work they had a nice little story about a "limited edition" product they’re rolling out… Well, see for yourself: http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/newsroom/press/2005/050516a.html
…Yeah… First off you’re telling me that we couldn’t find anyone with any more talent or credibility than GWEN STAFANI?!? Ugh… Give me a break! They said that the camera was "designed for her fans". Isn’t that making the presumption that SHE HAS FANS? I guess I didn’t get the memo.. I’m sure that her 10’s of fans are very excited about this. Now maybe I’m a Gwen hater, but I really feel that she is one of the banes of the music industry. She has a minimal amount of talent and exploits it in the most annoying fashion.. And just because those Japanese girls wrot-ERRRR-collaborated on her new album doesn’t mean she has creative license to help design one of the ugliest cameras I have ever seen. It’s not enough for her to ruin Ska with No Doubt (then fake R&B and reggae), or to ruin Pop with her "Love, Crappy Music Baby" CD but now she has to ruin my company’s products??? Thanks for nothing Gwen… Also have you seen the "Hollaback Girl" video? They say the camera was featured prominantly in the video… After watching the whole thing it seems that the camera wasn’t the only thing that was featured prominantly… GET SOME PANTS ON!!! And "the S*** is Bananas?". What’s that supposed to mean? This isn’t exactly the best song to be associated with…
2) My conversation with Sam about why "my standards are too high for girls and is the reason I’m not dating anyone" – Too much to go into tonight, but I’ll post on that in the next day or so… Interesting conversation though at the ballgame…
