P2

Here is what I'm working on so far for my P2 class.

Small Durable - Wild Eyes Contacts
Service/Retail - Goodwill

I haven't figured out my other two products, but soon I'll work on it! I'm really excited about both products so far - the Wild Eyes campaign is going well so far! My partner, Kelley, and I are enjoying the challenges of making the product's ads more surprising and unsuspected. We'll see (heh) how it goes.

Halloweenie!

So, I'm starting to consider what Mabel will be for Halloween, and boy have I found some awesome costumes from Target. I bought Herbie, Kelly's cat, a nice lobster costume last year - he looks adorable in it. So adorable, in fact, that he's on the Web site www.stuffonmycat.com. Here is his nice debut...



Anyway, back to Mabel Mabel Kitchen Table. Here are some ideas for the year...what do you think she should be??? A mermaid? Jurassic Bark? A dragon? Or Wonder Woman?






And in honor of Smudge, mom and dad's pup, here's a nice costume. Smudge got skunked a few days ago...maybe if she wore this she'd be friends with the skunks instead of targets!

Independent Study.

So, school is going well so far! I'm in full swing with my portfolio 2 class - my partner and I are working on a campaign for Wild Eyes contacts...we're pretty excited about the unique opportunities with the product! My theories class is pretty neat, too - I'm learning a lot about...you guessed it...theory!

Also, I'm now going with my independent study I wrote about a while ago. Here's the blog link if you're interested in checking it out!

I'll have a much better update soon. Over and out.

Buddy!

Check out the new addition to my life! Mabel Grober - adopted Sept. 2.

Africa.

Here is a "good luck" post to a very dear friend of mine, Robert Thomas Quiring. Roberto is going to Kenya on Tuesday to live for a year while participating in the YAV (Young Adult Volunteer) program and will be working for a non-profit while he learns about the lives of African people. He has a blog and will be keeping us all updated on his happenings - if you want to check it out, go here. I got to snag him up for lunch today and we had a great time catching up and chatting about everything that he's about to encounter, and I must say that he's about to embark on such a journey that will definitely change his life.

So, Robert, good luck in Kenya and be sure to keep me updated on everything that greets you! See ya in a year!

In case you have yet to have the fabulous opportunity to meet RTQ, here are a few token shots of him...enjoy! And Roberto, don't forget to do the Lion King for me!

Newbs.

This week marks the beginning of the new grad student's careers at UT! This morning we had orientation in the ACL studio, but now they're all ours! AGC (the Advertising Graduate Council I'm president of) has planned all sorts of f-u-n for the new cats. Take a looksie!

Colorado?

So, for the post-graduation living situation it's very possible I'll be in one of two very exciting cities: either Austin or Denver. And I couldn't be more excited!

Now all I need is to find a place in Denver like my internship - C3 Presents - and I'll be set on a great time. Anyone know anything great up there?
