But Harriet Miers always told me I was her favorite! :-(

It has been an entire two weeks since I last posted. As I read my post, I realize that I have grown much since then. My biggest worry was getting calls during a lunch break? HA! I'm just glad I get a lunch break again. Orangeade out of the lemonade button? Silly, innocent engineer. From now on, I will only tackle important issues.

Speaking of which, has anyone else noticed this continuing trend of modeling advertisements like actual articles in newspapers or magazines? I'm not sure if they actually fool anyone since there always seems to be something just "off" about them. Perhaps it's a slight change in the font or perhaps it's the deftly placed "advertisement" notice at the top or bottom of the ad.

All I know is that while reading a video game magazine of my brother's (mock me if you will, but it's usually HILARIOUS), I started reading this "article" about, oh, I don't know, Sagwa and Friends racing for PS2 or something only to see these blurbs about how incredible it is. Surely, I thought, this must be some kind of mistake. And indeed it was...I had fallen victim for 15 seconds to the advertisement article.

Be aware of these advertisements...they are sly and clever. I just wonder what kind of product is so terrible that after being told the features of it, a marketing director says "Well...we could always try and pass off an advertisement as an article in hopes of tricking people into buying the Guetzila Knee Cap Bender!"

Anyway, I hope to be back to writing this week. Work would be so much worse if I didn't have a Guetzila Heartrate Turboboost every morning. That's right, GHT! As Dr. beep-beep-beep, the accredited scientist from the Foundation for Making Delphi, IN, the Capital of the US, noted, "It tastes sorta okay! And it's the only way to be cool!" So true, Doc...so true.
