I haven’t posted in quite a while, and as a result, am slow in posting the latest Louise Log (Sorry). Alas, Anne has released it, and once again, it’s a gem. Our protagonist interviews child care applicants (baby-sitters, au pairs). Thank goodness number one walked out!

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.
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:
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.
Here we go with installment 4 of the Louise Log. My favorite line: “If I were a real artist, I’d punch him in the face.” Louise is the voice in my head, put on video. Enjoy this week’s show.
Today is my birthday. Today I am (place your favorite decade marker here). Yes, it has been a wonderful 39 years, now that I’m 40. HAH!!! If only. I passed 40 a while ago. Why are people so reticent about telling their age? I used to think it was only vanity, but now I’m convinced it has more to do with how people will view/treat us. Just as I assume a 20 something is inexperienced/shallow, so a 20 something probably sees me as old and doddering. I’ll give them the old, but not the doddering.
God knows I’ve been through alot this past couple of years medically, but I made it through. And I probably would not have been able to do that, if I hadn’t been clean and dry for 29 years. There’s a great deal to be said for making decisions with a sober mind.
So, I’m posting this at the time and on the day of my birth. Happy birthday. And to you too, if it’s your birthday.
I got this link in my email the other day. For lack of anything better to do, I followed the instructions. Turns out I’m something like 62% Dixie even though I was raised in NYC. Kinda interesting and fun. Try it.
And to you too, if it’s your birthday.
