How's my lighting....

Finally, I've come down from my high. Drinking a shit load of Red Bull and vodkas really fucks with you the next day. I felt like Smokey in "Friday" when he got a hold of the bad weed. My heart was racing all day yesterday and I felt like a chicken with its head cut off. So for future references, for anybody wondering why they only sell 4 packs of Red Bull in the store...it's because 6 or more is DEADLY! Drink with caution.

Helped a fellow MASer tonight with one of her final assignments, a CD cover. Yours truly was the mo-del. Had to bring out my earthy, soulful side tonight, cause I was an india.arie/Erykah Badu sanger. Photos coming soon. To purchase the CD send a check to my house and make it payable to the "Dayna's graduating soon and wants to take a sabbatical to some remote island with the love of her life" fund. :)

Ugh, finals week is here and I have NOTHING done...except this blog posting!

To set the record straight....

Some people have been confused by some of my love/hates....so to clarify...

1. "Little white lies" that negatively affect someone.
16. Make-up, the stuff women put on their face.
17. Bananas did not knock up Republicans producing Banana Republics.
19. Not specifically directed towards anyone reading this blog.
23. Tailgating in the car, not before the game (I love that kind).
34. Burger King and Mini commercials, little books, magazine inserts, assignments (all things Crispin).
44. Interracial dating, only black men dating white women, don't care about any other interracial dating.
94. Mouth wash, I do use it just don't like the burn and after taste of it.

Carry on...

POST BIOTCH!

Thursdays are daddy days...

Normally, I don't subscribe to watching and or supporting ignant TV, but sometimes you have to make exceptions. "Being Bobby Brown," (theme song playing in the background) yes! I'm a fan. I find myself watching rerun after rerun, discovering new "ignantcies" every time. Doesn't this qualify them for an Emmy? Or is that just for day time programming? Ehhh. Sometimes, I secretly try to determine who is the real star of the show. So far (in my opinion) Bobby, though virtually a "nobody" outside of 80s R&B, is makin' a name for himself other than being Whitney Houston's husband. In corner one we have--"Court days are daddy days....I get a lot of daddy days"; "Why is my shoe following me?! Shoe, stop followin' me? SHOE!!!!! WHY ARE YOU FOLLOWING ME??!!"; and "Hi, I'm Bobby Brown." (insert dumbfounded look by Caucasian middle aged man here) "You know the singer." "Ohhhh okay" (insert "Who the fuck are you" (I'm trying not to let him know that I really, no REALLY, don't know who the hell this black guy is). "Whitney Houston's husband." "OHHHHHHHH YEAH, Whitney's husband, how is she?". And in corner two we have--"Shut up, just shut up, shut up," "Whitney can I have an autograph and a picture?" "No.," and last but not least Whitney's foreign dialect (really just her mumbling and shit while the audience tries to figure out WHAT THE HELL IS YOU SAYIN?). CLASSIC!!! I'm loling (I realize that would translate to laughing out louding but go with it) just thinkin' about it!

Is it Thursday yet?

For people that think....

...that advertisers don't do anything but Fame inspired Old Navy commercials, "Wake up with the King" ads (waste of time), or cookie cutter beauty spots...here's an example of my assignment due next week (Tues 8/16). Project re-brand America.

sigh...and I thought branding gold as an investment option was difficult.

If at first you dont succeed, try again damnit...

So my attempt at sobriety didn't last long. Exactly 12 hours after my previous post I drank from the hand of temptation. I'm okay bein sober as long as I'm not put in stressful, semi-frustrating situations. Thus proving the rumor, people in advertising are either weed heads or alkies, is true. It was weird and somewhat surreal to watch people noticeably drunk and their behaviors. That me when I'm on their level? That why people easily excuse actions/behaviors when someone says "Sorry, I was drunk". Hmmm. Fascinating.

On the school front, I've once again changed my mind. I will officially be spending the next 3 months in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis). This decision came out of the blue, but came right on time as my fears and anxieties about goin to London in just a month or so resurfaced for the umpteenth time. I've heard a lot of good things about the program there and the city, and though its not one of those cities people proudly rep, I figure it would go for a cool/different experience. Especially on the FB tip (which is one of the many cons to goin overseas durin the season, no Sunday games, no Monday night football. HA! can't do it). I plan to partake in some Vikings celebrations during my stay. Grandma is Culpepper fan so I imagine having to entertain her a few times during the 3 month stay. London can wait another 3 months.

Any Spelhouse connects in the area, feel free to lead me to them.

Brrrrr, the change of temp is gonna be a bitch.
