Viral Marketing

So I've been talking a whole lot about this obnoxious campaigns class that has been taking up a ton of my time (not to mention that fact that it's made me ridiculously far behind in my other classes and I've even missed assignments...). Well, here is a little YouTube video that we created for some viral marketing. It's just a teeny-tiny part of the campaign, but I thought it would be fun for you to see what I've been working on lately.

Oh, and for those of you who don't know me in "real life," I'm the moron at the very end. Enjoy!

texting is a no-no

Warning, this video is a little graphic. I swear though, you'll think twice before texting and driving ever again.

This video was made to show to 18 year olds in Britain to shock them into understanding why such behavior is so dangerous.

stairs are fun!

This. Is. Epic.

My sister is a junior this year, and as is tradition at many high schools, Homecoming Week is filled with days of naughtiness and mischievous behavior. This includes toilet papering houses (my parents' house was done FIVE times), hazing the underclassmen, and much more.

A recent tradition has been to toilet paper the house of one of the science teachers. As a creative and mischievous man himself, he plots with another teacher and a handful of friends to get back at the students this year.

SEVENTEEN cars packed full of students park in a lot nearby his house. Dozens of juniors and seniors erupt from the vehicles with more toilet paper than you can imagine. Armed with homemade SYRUP GUNS, the teachers fight back. Oh, and yes the cops were called, and no, they haven't seen anything like this:

Not enough time to watch all 9 minutes? After learning about the handmade weaponry, move ahead to about 3:30 to see them in action!

Mad Men

I just started watching MadMen, so when I saw this Mad Men meets Sesame Street video, I just couldn't help myself!

Soooo excited!

So I know that if you ask me what my favorite movie is, I will immediately say, "10 Things I Hate About You" because, well, its fabulous. But then I will probably say, "And at a close second is Boondock Saints" because it's a freaking epic movie. Epic. If you haven't seen it, rent it NOW. Put it in your queue. Seriously.

Now, to the point of my post: Boondock Saints 2 is coming out October 30th. Oh em gee. I seriously can not wait! Here's the trailer for those of you who are as pumped about this as I am...

worry myself to death

I'm exhausted, both physically and mentally. The past 48 hours have been some of the most emotionally draining that I've ever experienced.

I'll be the first to admit that I'm a worrier. I get stressed about everything and tend to maybe blow things out of proportion. This worry makes sleeping very difficult, and two sleepless nights makes for a very tired me. Yesterday, while I was driving home from work, I blasted the music in my car just to try and drown out my own thoughts. Perhaps I should try meditating...

Other things on my mind:

1) I'm extremely poor. Like, I dunno how I'm going to pay for books next week.

2) It is far too cold today to be August. Bah humbug.

3) The Farmers Market today was delightful! I got some hot peppers for the Boyfriend and some green beans, too.

4) I think I'm going to go see Post Grad with a friend tonight. Looks good! Here's the trailer:

I want one!

I feel the urge to express my strong desire to adopt a little munchkin kitty. They have really short legs so they're kind of like dachshunds of the cat world. Some of them even have little ears that fold over. Adorable! Sadly, all the breeders in my area sell them for like $750 which is way above my budget. Regardless, I still think they are amazingly cute!

The September Issue

This documentary about Anna Wintour looks fabulous! Talk about an amazingly influential woman...

This movie hits select theatres on September 11, and sadly I don't believe it will be showing at any of the theatres near me. Boo.

Gross, again...

I also found this video on digg, and it's a Modest Mouse video directed by Heath Ledger. He didn't finish it before he died, so it was finished in his honor. It makes a very strong statement about his stance on illegal commercial whale hunts.

See for yourself, and prepare to be creeped out...

King Rat

Seriously? That's gah-ROSS!!!

I have to share this because it's seriously disturbing and disgusting.



Turns out, Brazil wants people to pee in the shower to conserve water by flushing one less time each day. Their claim is that if everyone does this every day, about 1,157 gallons of water will be saved each year in each household. This cartoon even shows Gandhi, Michael Jordan and Alfred Hitchcock peeing in the shower.

Sorry guys, but these cartoony yellow streams are not going to convince me to tinkle in the tub.

wedding awesomeness

I saw this on a blog that I read, A Cup of Jo, and I thought it was awesome! My boyfriend walked into the room when I was watching this and has made up his mind that we should be creative with our wedding someday, too. Can I see myself dancing down the aisle? Probably not. But this did look like a lot of fun!
