As Far As I Can Tell


The House of Wigs

Maybe I can relate because we’re both trapped in advertising land, but lately I’ve been really enjoying The House of Wigs. From November 4th:

OK yesterday I’m reminded that to be an American is to be both arrogant and incompetent (you’d think one would cancel out the other! so weird!), and the problem is then I come in to work at an ad agency. And if you’re already thinking “our country is fuckola’d,” the last place you want to walk into is an ad agency. The last thing you want to have to do is sit in a meeting and talk about how to coerce people into buying more processed cheese, because then it’s really hard to dodge the fact that you are The Problem. Yes I’m using second-person to distance myself from the horrible truth — it’s the magic of writing.

Meredith okay, car okay (minor repairs), and the feable old guy without his drivers license or insurance papers is also okay.

Worried about Prius, waiting to hear more about the accident. Very glad that Meredith is okay.

Impressed with the new Google Street View. I remember when Google Maps was new, I was blown away by direct drag. Web apps have come so far.

Watching Arrested Development while you get your teeth cleaned is great. Until you laugh.
