do you get depressed when your noodles are gone?

Yes, I do get depressed when my noodles are gone.
But, finding an app that lets me turn my favorite words into a scrolling banner...umm that cheers me right up.

the work day, in the BK.

Inside writing, meeting up with friends and talking future plans and loving this site my friend Luke pointed out to me.
So so so good, and very Luke.

things I'm loving.

It's my birthday week! And, I've been noticing that I'm surrounded by some truly lovely things...good books, good letters, and good music - what more could a girl want for her bday?
Also, I'm loving those dolls up here. (scroll down about 3-4 images)

up in Harlem things are funnier.

OMG. I've watched this ad about 10 times in a row this morning! Ack...its so effing funny I love it so much. Gosh, have I mentioned I love advertising lately? Cuz...I do...like big time.
Today I'm up in Harlem shakin it with the boys figuring out how to make them supa dupa known. Hope your Thursday is going well...and if it ain't watch that ad about 5 times and you'll be in stitches.

So the life of a freelancer/unemployed/looking for work copywriter seems to be a something that cracks me up lately. Such an odd thing. And, my days are filled with things that I am not used to doing, like:
-Sending emails to people who don't respond. I've taken to it like a game. What is the funniest headline I can write for a subject line? Is, "A monkey told me to email you" too weird?
-Drinking coffee ALL day long. Ya know, in the morning at home, then in the afternoon at a coffee shop then again in the evening while I'm at a different cafe writing. I'm creating a serious caffeine addiction.
-Having time to go running in the middle of the afternoon
-Surfing Craigslist, daily. I'm not gonna lie I've slipped over into the "housing swap" section on more than one occasion while pondering how I could escape this unemployment
-Talking to my Mom more than our once a day. What? You don't? Sheesh. I mean, she's only the coolest person, eva.
-Making google maps of things I want to eat.
-Listening to old SWV while writing. Cause I can. As loudly as I want.
-Staring at cute boys in coffee shops.
-Reading everything on my GoogleReader. I still can't believe that I did that. Just shows you what time will do for you
-Reading the news DAILY - I was pretty bad at this when I was working
Anyways, that's just a sampling of my day. Random, right?

Ok, I'm off to stare at more cute boys and words.

Unemployment is a strange creature.
It lets me sit at home most of the day, bake bread and go out for walks in the snow with my camera. Despite its benefits, it leaves you with an odd feeling that you've done nothing all day.
Sigh.

Off to hustle this thing some more.
Hope your Tuesday was full of smiles.

Today, I'm sicker than a perverts brain...If you hear something that sounds like wet shoes on marble and a cat dying, don't worry, that's just me gasping for air.

Found out yesterday that one of my favorite art directors is leaving for the Dominican Republic! I am *so* happy for him, but I am *so* going to miss finding shenanigans like this on my desk.
Le sigh.
And, ok people, brace yourselves... I actually kinda, sorta, ok fine...I see it. Happy?
Double sigh.

if my envy had a heart beat of its own it beat so loud we'd all be deaf.
