Staying Alive
Believe it or not, both Adverb and I live.
The last few weeks have been filled with fourteen-hour days working on a new business pitch (we didn’t get it), pre-production for a massive Gatorade shoot I’ll be leaving for in early January, an add-on print shoot that de-evolved into a stop-drop-and-roll process, a full-on agency presentation, an agency holiday party (which I passed on), a fussy baby at home and about a million other things, the algebra of which left X minus infinity for blogging time.
Even today, when the agency closed at 2:00 PM, I’m waiting around for client feedback on a pressing job. There’s never a dull moment in the ad jungle.
Things are looking up, though.
In January, look for me to start posting a blow-by-blow of what it’s like to sweat through a two million dollar film production outside the country.
I promise not to gloat (too much).
In the meantime, I hope you all have a happy, safe and prosperous Holiday and New Year and I hope to catch you all visiting my little corner of the ad jungle after Dick Clark goes to bed.

After seeing the title of the post, I’m just glad you didn’t post the Travolta headband pic.
Have a happy non-denominational 25th of December.
;-p

Don’t think I hadn’t thought about it.
Hope you have a safe and happy one as well, brother.

Hope all the monkeys have a safe and happy New Year. Hope to see a pic of wee monkey’s first Christmas!

You know, if you’re so busy that you can’t update the ol’ Adverb for four months, perhaps your agency should hire another pasty writer. Hint.
Hope your OOC production went well.
