SXSW Report: The Social Marketing Strategies Metrics: Where Are They? Panel

meebo chat log: totally useless, totally painful, yet totally fun (i'm username "nancy" - super creative)

I'm quoted in the Wired Blog!

today cindy made stir-fry for dinner
i chopped up some spicy peppers
and then touched my eye
i do not recommend that to anyone
water makes it surprisingly worse
and it burned
burned so bad
the burning spread to all of my left face

part of my job is to spend a lot of time online trolling around kids sites. sounds creepy, yes. so for fun i took a "how well do u know zac efron" quiz. and i got 100%!.



i sicken myself.

My favorite part about the Oscars was the song done by Will Ferrell, Jack Black, and John C. Reilly -- Video and lyrics below!

Let me know in the comments if there's a mistake, and i'll fix it:

Featuring:

Will Ferrell		Jack Black		John C. Reilly

i've told myself many times, over and over again, i should listen to whatever music i want, as long as i enjoy it, and others can stick their snooty little opinions up their icky little caverns.

yet i feel double guilty now, for 1) looking around the office to make sure no one is around anymore and 2) because i am unplugging my headphones to plug in my speakers, so i can jam to hilary duff after-hours.

so screw you all! kinda. don't judge. i'm still trying to stop judging myself.

this morning: i had my headphones on, intent on the task at hand. and i heard a male voice say something, so look behind me too see what Mike (co-worker) wants. but he's not looking in my direction, so i look back to my monitor -- then by the top of my peripheral vision, i see this figure looming over my cube. i started screaming and apparently i yelled out "OH MY GOD!"which was a hoot to the ppl who sit in my general area.

I recently got VPN access into my work computer from home, which means I can basically login and work on a mini-screen while STILL on my mac! it's great. now i'll be able to stay late at work, come home, and work some more!

see how my laptop screen looks like from now on... here.

next steps: get my calls forwarded to my cell phone...

As much as I love Miriam Yeung, I'm just a little confused by this video -- she wants to get married to someone dressed in a large bunny costume?

when i have a little free time at work, i like to play around with photoshop. funtimes! it was really to alert cindy about the weirdness of her homepage on my browser though (see arrows).

this is a shoutout to helena, who heckled inspired me to update this blog more often. =D

my coworker mike (web producer by day, graphic artist by night) likes to draw these creepy faces when he's on long boring telephone conversations, and i made the mistake of saying that they were creepy, so now he leaves them on my keyboard so i can cry a little when i get back to my desk. what fun! they also remind me of the alien character in Enemy Mine or better yet, Glirk:
look helena! it's waving at you! here's the second one:
that was left for me after i openly threw away the first one (but i fished it out 'cause i felt bad. it is art. kind of.) The third one was actually screaming my name (resembling Jeriba/Glirk the most):
And then he drew me a "normal" guy, which honestly, is still a little scary:

PS - I'm not sure The Hartford is, but we suddenly have a bunch of sticky pads at work for it.

i really want to watch numb3rs, but law and order is just slightly less fuzzy and staticy on the tv, so i guess law and order beats out. if anyone has a rather large scythe, if you'd like to come visit and chop of my head, putting me out of sick misery. i hate being sick.

i was hand-coding some web stuff and i always forget the HTML code for a non-breaking space.

HAH! i literally just got it as i typed out "non-breaking space"!

actually, the point my post is to say i've got a much radder mnemonic device:
