I like ice cream in the winter. Yes, in the winter. And I’ve always liked ice cream sandwiches. I remember getting them for 25 cents as a 4th grader, and was very upset when it went up to 40 cents as a high schooler.
I think Priscilla Ahn writes fun music, but the only thing that bothers me about her is her list of influences. I don’t see any Pink Floyd, Jeff Buckley, Radiohead influences based on her myspace music. I think she’s very much a Sara Bareilles, Norah Jones type of singer/songwriter.
I got a promotion offer, promotion to a role but not an immediate promotion in level or pay. Couple things that make me hesitant to take it are the fact that it locks me in a position for about 18 months, and I’m concerned that they’ll abuse the hell out of me and give me a mediocre 3% raise this June and mix in the promotion/raise combination next June with another mediocre 3%-5% raise, after which they would have sucked me dry at a lower level and dump me to another group. If that’s the case, I’ll just do what I’m doing now for the next 6 months and move to a different role to get a different exposure. My hope is that my worst case scenario doesn’t come true and hopefully, I’ll get my regular raise this June, promotion/raise in Sep-Dec, and a raise again next June.
Isn’t it amazing how much momentum Barack Obama has right now? What if he wins the nomination… who would be his running mate? Hilary Clinton wouldn’t really help, and John Edwards is too linked to the 04 election and isn’t going to normalize Obama as he did Kerry by being a young, idealistic guy. Al Gore…?
I think Huckabee knows he won’t get the nomination. I think he also knows John McCain is probably looking at him as a running mate candidate. But can you imagine the political fallout IF 1) after Romney suspends his race, 2) Huckabee announces his suspension a day after, 3) McCain chooses Huckabee as his running mate the next day? I personally think Huckabee really kept Romney off the ballot. If you think that’s a bad conspiracy theory, go watch the movie instead.
I know this is lame but I think the best subliminal message would have been:
“10,000 BC. Premiering Day After Tomorrow on Independence Day… Rated PG-13.” Of course it would only work on 2 Jul, but still. But alas, the movie industry doesn’t think it’s a great idea at all.
