The 1st Prototype

This evening marks the birth of the first prototype of the T-Bag. After many toils of ‘exactly how do I this?’ there is a finalized bag. It will be used and, hopefully, stand the test of time.

Happy birthday, prototype.

Congratulations, Rebecca Loebe!

Sic-Sac, or Fun with Trademarks

realityblonde — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 20:53:16 +0000

In this week’s trend of fun things dropped off at my desk, my coworker Roy gave me perhaps the funniest thing I’ve seen all year.

A”Sic-Sac”, the original motion sickness bag. Complete with registered trademark.

(Skip over this part if you tire of my patent and trademark geekiness) No joke, folks. US 0551228 for OUTER CARDBOARD OR PAPER ENVELOPES, FOR CONTAINING INNER PLASTIC SACKS, BUT NOT OF METAL, FOR USE ON TRAINS, AIRPLANES, AND THE LIKE, IN CASES OF SICKNESS.

In case that doesn’t interest you, and I don’t know why it would, just enjoy the cute little elves. Poor guy on the left doesn’t look so good. But the happy guy to the right – please note the full Sic-Sac he is rushing to dispose of – looks downright joyous.

Thanks, Roy. This is going on my wall-o’-smiles.

yummy gummies

My boss just walked in a dropped a bag of “english wine gummies” on my desk.

They have enticing words on them such as “vodka, cognac, gin and whiskey.”

I just wish they were really made out of their labels.

Although the purple ones do kinda taste a little like wine.

Or feet. I can’t quite tell.

Want to be in a music video?

realityblonde — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 18:48:44 +0000

Honor by August is shooting their very first music video this weekend for “Into the Light” and need your help! We need as many people as we can get to rock out for our performance scene.

Here’s all of the info:

Saturday, August 18
Jammin Java
227 Maple Ave E Vienna, VA

Please arrive between 11:30 and noon and be dressed to impress. We are going for a “hipster” look, so that means cool jeans and t-shirts. We will be done by 4pm, so you’ll still have your Saturday night for going out.

If you’re in the DC/Nova area, we want to see you there! The place holds about 150-200 people, so bring yourselves and your friends.

We ask that you be at least 18 years old.

We are super excited about this video and hope to share this experience with as many of you as possible.

See you Saturday!!!

Jaywalking

You know, if you’re 80 years old or, say, 400 pounds, for god’s sake people, cross at the friggin’ crosswalk. Next time, I’m not stopping.

And that concludes today’s complaining.

Driving with the windows low, the music high, not caring if your hair gets messed up, and the guy’s license plate that says “NUBBNS”
