This is a test

Today we had a 90 minute meeting on social media. It moved my needle in the smallest amount. I really miss the ad world. At least I was always blown away by good creative. I hope Ogilvy comes up with something to be proud of. Even more, I hope Medco can see it. I loved the smarter planet ad in the New Yorker last week. I want it as a poster for my living room. The part that really annoyed me was the thought that you had to have lots of money to be on the top of a google or yahoo search.

I am first in Yahoo if you search Fire Island house rental. I didn't do anything this year since we are selling the house. Google I just let slip to page two. It's not hard just make sure you have the search words in the copy many times. Sign up for free. and search those words in your free time to check out your own website. In a few months you'll be at the top.

I wonder if it will work with a blog. Medco Pharmacy TRC. I wonder if I write it twice Medco Pharmacy TRC will show up without paying at some point in the future. If I can remember to test Medco Pharmacy TRC everyday for a month.

Perfect Circle, Bad Idea

What is the literary term for that phrase? A dipledot.
Cutie decided to use the washable markets and create tatoos on her skin.
Cutie:"Look mom a perfect circle."
Mom: "That's a bad idea"
Cutie: Perfect circle, bad idea. That's called a dipledot.

You can't make this stuff up.

Selling Fire Island

We are in discussions about selling out Fire Island house. I'm happy and sad. I like having something to do each spring and summer. It's my job in which we break even.

Right now it's rented through mid-sept. I left one week opened so I can use it during the last week in the summer. I also hope to use it during Rosh.

I want to make a Fire Island music video. I so miss Napster to be inspired.

Reality Things

In college I wrote a story. Three blocks from Bloomies. It was about a girl who watched events from a distance and even though she was close to the action she never felt comfortable.

Last night I saw Jessie on the Bachorette. I haven't seen her since I left D'Arcy but there she was asking a question on the second to last show.
David was quoted in Adweek about the financial crisis
A few years back Laura was on Millionaire.
Friends and family and a moment of fame. Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. My brother was on it and I was the sister.

A friend of mine who I haven't spoken to in ages - we had a falling out about a lucite display case, contacted me to say hi. I responded back and have yet to here from her.

As for cutie, Camp is great. SHe's going to the 92nd street Y camp and there's even a boy from our old building in NYC there. They take the bus every morning. We drop her off and then she takes the bus. It's good practice for next year. Her art is fabulous as is her swimming. I just love her to pieces.

As for work my gig has been extended. I can contribute so much more, but they are so into SOP it's hard for me to get stuff done. I also am over the whole coolness factor of working in branding at a major corp. where the stock price is going higher everyday. But at the end of the day all I really do is get people to take their meds aka a pill pusher. If only the majority of people could take a little responsibility with diet and exercise.
