Yay, the latest Louise Log is up. Find out who Phineas is. Enjoy.
Summary
Louis Log 7 (05:35)
This is the seventh episode in a comedic series starring CHRISTINE COOK and with KENNETH B.GOLDBERG, TALULLAH MEI BARNI and AIDAN BROGAN about marriage and family life in NYC.
Just a quick note, that I’ve upgraded the blog to WordPress 2.6. For information on what that means, you can check it out here at the WordPress blog, and watch the video too!
I keep forgetting to mention that I got a note from Louise Logs creator Anne Flournoy that she and crew have been working on a number of episodes to the Louise Logs and hope to be “cranking them out during the summer.”
I can’t wait!! Of course you’ll hear about them here first.
I’m what you might call a closet George Carlin fan. I didn’t talk about him much, but if I had an opportunity to listen or watch him, I was there. There will be a lot clips dealing with his famous Seven Words skit, but that is not my favorite skit. My favorite one is his comparative study between baseball and football words. If you have never seen it, or if it has been a while since you’ve seen it, here it is:
Okay, here’s my quick cool tip for the day (the day?… is this a regular feature?) If you’re anywhere in the east where temperatures are hitting record highs and heat index is over 100, try this:
buy some seedless grapes (I like red grapes)
put some of them in a sandwich baggy
put the baggy in your freezer
when they are frozen… eat and enjoy!
They really taste good, and they satisfy your thirst and cool you off. See? Being on dialysis and having to watch my fluid intake, does bring about good things sometimes. Pssst… pass it on.
I received a newsletter from Globalworks (see my previous post) announcing that they had won three more awards for their beach ads. Just thought I’d quote from the newsletter about who created the ad:
A multicultural creative team at GlobalWorks created the spots. The creative director was born in England; the art director is from Venezuela; the producer is from Puerto Rico; and the copywriter is from the Dominican Republic. The directors of the spots hail from Puerto Rico and Argentina, respectively.
Optimum makes me happy honey
’cause I’m savin’ lots of money.
Let’s all get the triple play.
That’s the last line of the latest Optimum Triple Play commercial inundating the airwaves. I think it’s pure genius. Not just this commercial, but the one before it, which starts out:
Mi gente.
Optimum Triple Play,
is in the house.
At which point the house is blown up by pirates’ canon fire. If you’re on the east coast, you’ve probably seen one or both of these commercials. Especially the second one I quoted. I was eventually able to track down the company that was responsible for making these ads for Optimum (which is a subsidiary [I think] of Cablevision).
Now before I go any further, let me make clear that I am in no way affiliated with Cablevision or GlobalWorks. In fact, I receive Time Warner Cable service.
Before I get into showing you the commercials, you have to see the opening page for GlobalWorks. I’d suggest you use headphones, but speakers turned up will do just as well.
In preparing to present Louise Log 6, I discovered that each segment has an informational blurb. The blurbs are pretty interesting in themselves because they show how the project has progressed thus far. So here are the logs with their informational blurbs.

Louise Log 6 (05:48)
This is the SIXTH episode in a comedy series about a New York City wife/mother/artist who has low self-esteem, a high-maintenance husband, substance problems, and an overactive inner voice. Starring CHRISTINE COOK, introducing KENNETH B. GOLDBERG and featuring AIDAN BROGAN and TALULAH MEI BARNI. Distributed by Tubemogul.
I’ll be presenting number 6 on Sunday, but if you can’t wait, you can find it here.
I was feeling a little sad that this would be the last of the logs for now, since when this series started there were five Louise Logs. My recent foray into YouTube, however, has revealed Anne Flournoy has presented us with another one. So, here is this week’s (and not final) Louise journey.
