LuxFX / They Think They’re Newsworthy

Rent this movie. Watch it. It is so funny! Jen and I watched it last night, and we’re going to see it again tonight with Erin. I’ve got to get a copy of this! Soooo good!

They Think They’re Newsworthy…. 1/24/05

I put up baby gates tonight! We sealed all of our outlets, too…. So Killy, whenever you become mobile — we’re ready!
I had a pleasant surprise today when it came to work. I came downstairs, ready for a full day — and it turns out the project I was going to be […]

News companies love to sensationalize things. Unfortunately, they also love to sensationalize vicariously from other news. Remember the huge blizzards that hit the Sierra Nevada range a couple of weeks ago? Seventeen feet of snow in some places.
Well, they’ve been hyping up a “huge snowstorm to hit the northeast” story for days. […]

They Think They’re Newsworthy…. 1/23/05

We had sat Killy down to play next to his toy box in the living room, and left him playing there while I got to work and Jen started some laundry. When Jen got back upstairs (she quickly called me up as well), Killy had managed to pull himself up, holding onto the toy […]

They Think They’re Newsworthy…. 1/22/05

Sigh. All those mockups I loved so much? I will be redoing them all, at a loss. Rrrr….
Oh well, I’m not going to worry about that tonight. We rented The Village (which Jen hasn’t seen!) and Shawn of the Dead (which neither of us has seen)! Yay! That will […]

Sometimes no matter how much I try to cut down the size of an estimate, it turns out bigger than I know the client was hoping for.

They Think They’re Newsworthy…. 1/21/05

Today was just “one of those days.” I wish I can go to bed and read, but I have to at least finish building an estimate. It’s going to be a fairly involved estimate though, so I’m having to be very careful.

They Think They’re Newsworthy…. 1/20/05

No, not the weather. It actually warmed into the mid/upper 40s today! No, I mean my head cold. Yuck. It’s mostly just a cough/headache right now. My head feels like it’s going to explode when I cough, although it’s just slightly bothersome the rest of the time. And apparently […]

A client forwarded an email to me yesterday, from her client (this was another subcontract project). Her client had a hilarious sig on his email — hilarious because as far as I can tell, it was serious and genuine (this guy is apparently a doctor). I’ve replaced his name with a made up […]

They Think They’re Newsworthy…. 1/19/05

After finishing those concepts I was able to take a break today! I’m going to bed now! I will sleep tonight!*Killy permitting….

Yay! I just finished the concepts!

Wow! It’s actually above freezing! I think that’s the first time in about a week….
I ended up working until about 4:30am last night, but I didn’t get finished. I’ve been working a couple of hours already this morning, and have probably 1.5 hours left. Good thing I just said I’d get […]
