What Makes You So Great?
I have thoughts…sometimes…
Obsession?
Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations calls the Northwest a region of obsession.
What? No! That sounds so unhealthy.
But when I think about it, yes, I am obsessed with…Circus. Coffee, Art, Food.

DISCLAIMER***I do not want to advocate activities displayed in the above video [cough] like drinking alcohol [cough]
Normally, I think of beer commercials on the low end of ads and marketing. Maybe not in quality, but in my own taste of consumer manipulation. The draft horses and budweiser bullfrogs were, however, cute.
Things that I like about this video: We see ‘Mark’s’ face, unchanged, through different scenes. YOUR WHOLE LIFE IS THE SAME, MARK, WHY ARE YOU SO BORING MARK. He has assumed the position that, since the advent of the touch screen cellular phone, is unmistakable.
The User, the slightly hunched over concentrated gaze, one hand erect, with square in front of face. I see The User everyday, on the bus, in the street. You do too, it is familiar and highly relatable.
And then the product comes on and of course his life is so much better with a beer in his hand being social at a party and does beer really spray out like sparkles like that every where blah blah blah.
Also, the repeated, monosyllabic words do something. I just really like how the message is clear, short and effectively communicated. Cheers.
Tea
I’ve been drinking so much tea + milk, lately. I blame sherlock, british accents and charlieissocoollike.
I’m going to make my own reboot of Sherlock Holmes: SHERHAWK HOLMES AND HULKSON: HULK SMASH PUNY CLUE.
They would just wander around and get confused at things and smash/blow stuff up, unless the clue is a door, and Hawkeye will have a brilliant revelation about doors opening from both sides. Black Widow will be Lestrade and she’ll just go ahead and solve the mystery for them and then make them think they did they did it so that they feel proud of themselves.
Perfect comic is perfect
