I have a new addiction....

I have discovered the Series. That is the series on my laptop that can be watched at any time (this includes lunch time) and that has no adverts. I am addicted! I get home, watch a series while my food is cooking, before a series on TV that I don’t have starts. I have finished Greys Anatomy 3 and it is awesome! I watch How I met Your Mother when I have less than an hour to spare. I am almost done with Lost and looking forward to Heroes.

I must say that I still watch some TV and may even enjoy the odd advert. Though most of the time I marvel at how the marketing department or advertising agency actually let the advert get into the public domain and especially onto national TV. It’s not the cheapest advertising medium, so why waste your budget on crappy ads?!

Bad adverts are a big reason why I won’t use certain products. I refuse to shop at Morkels (are they even still open??) and won’t use Colgate toothpaste with Propolis (damn beaver!)

Being in marketing, I just don’t get it! We don’t have the hugest budget, compared to some of the bigger corporates so maybe that is why we don’t mess around with frivolous advertising. But still, why waste the money? Why hire these useless advertising agencies? I know form specialising in advertising in my degree that being super creative and clever (yet simple) is very hard. So why not leave it to those who can do it? Why must we suffer?

I think in future adverts should have hot half naked men, baby animals or extremely clever lines. No more cartoons like the Vodacom meerkat and Pick ’n Pay airtime ads!

If not, I will continue to save series from Philly and watch TV on my laptop. Seems I’ll be spending more than 10 hours a day with my pc.

Not much to say...

Well, it's been a while since I posted.... i guess i don't have too much to say at the moment.

So life has been going on as normal.

It has been cold and then not so cold and then cold again.
The guy in my office let a HUGE one go earlier.
Mr ATNA is back on the scene again.
I am still disillusioned by men in general and whole dating scene.
My oldest (and by that i mean the longest known) friend is pregnant and it is very exciting news. Though it is also a bit sad, because I suspect that I am not one of the first people told (as it would've been in the old days) and I will probably have no involvement aside from receiving photo updates via email. But alas... this is what happens. I am nevertheless very happy for her and her husband and think they will be awesome parents!

And that is all i have to say for the time being. Quite boring, i know....

I am going to be on my way now, going home to snuggle with my cat and get warm... screw gym!
