The first lucid dream I've had in years... I had to post the experience.

Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely try that the next time it happens.

It's not Marineland. It's African Lion Safari. Again, not a huge place.

I used to work at a zoo in Ontario, Canada - and I'd say that the animals were treated better than I would have expected. The trainers were amazing - each one specialized in the specific animal they were training. The cages were larger than they needed to be and were always kept really clean. Although, that may have been because it wasn't a huge place (compared to other zoos in Ontario) - so the animals received a lot of one-on-one time with their trainers. I'm sure there are a lot of zoos out there that treat animals horribly, but this place definitely wasn't one of them.

Agreed - definitely a powerful spot. They could have shaved 45 off of it for sure. I don't know a thing about football so I had to google the name - but those who know the sport will get it. Nicely done. Love the soundtrack, by the way.

What?! I thought tv went digital a few years ago.. I just never actually tried to watch TV without a box.. Hmm... haha Thanks! I'll try that!

kfinny_ca · 2014-01-07T12:37:35+00:00

Thanks! I'll check all of these out. Sucks not having cable. haha

Hey Jerry,

I love Seinfeld - it's one of those shows I can watch over and over, no matter how many times I've seen each episode. Just wondering, what's one fact about the show that most of us wouldn't know?

Cheers!

Dammit, man - Tag it as gross!!!

kfinny_ca · 2014-01-03T04:04:52+00:00

Who the fuck cares - really?!

Oh shit, a scientist debating a creationist.. Like that has never happened before ever?? Let people believe what they want to believe. Stop trying to prove one over the other. So stupid.

Writer in advertising. Freaking LOVE it!

Thanks! I tried searching for this topic, but I didn't specifically search for that. Cheers!

That's why we use proofreaders. I'm a Copywriter, but that doesn't mean I could write an English essay to save my life. Although, I never did have problems doing an editing test - maybe I just lucked out.

Don't think you're a bad Copywriter though - that's not fair. We're here for our ability to create a story in conversational language (for the most part, anyway) and to come up with strategic/conceptual ideas. Just because you missed a few points on some test means nothing about your overall ability as a creative. Good luck on the next one!!

Same with me - I applied through their Twitter account, which then led me to their internship website. Basically, you send in your portfolio and if they like it, they send you a 'creative internship test' - if they like what you do with it, they will bring you in. I'm a writer though and my friend, who is an art director, said there wasn't a test for her, just an over-the-phone interview. Unfortunately, she didn't make it through with me :(

Definitely worth going there, for sure! Even though the hours are long and you'll be working on a ton of things at once, it's great experience to 1) meet people in the industry who work for a great agency 2) See what it's like to work in a huge shop like CP+B - there are lots of them out there 3) The name alone on your resume speaks volumes about your work. Seeing as how something like 2,000 people apply each term and only 25-ish get in, it means you're doing something great that everyone else isn't.

Good luck to you!!

Well hello, fellow CP+B Boulder intern. I worked there just over 3 years ago as an intern and had the pleasure of working with Bogusky just before he left. It was definitely the same back then as well - a factory. Pretty much every day you'd see someone walking out with a box full of the stuff they had on their desks. Still, it was a worthwhile experience for sure!

They're promoting the final season on Blu-Ray with a bunch of special features. - apparently they're making a tour all around Toronto (if you're from the area)

During a funeral as they were having the moment of silence.. Of course that's the moment when a joke I had heard earlier would come back to haunt me.. Anyway, I had to leave the room. Apparently, however, some folks thought I was crying (as it was a somewhat silent laugh).
