#3

Today has been an interesting day. I've spent most of the day crafting presentation for Tuesday on an ad campaign for Lego. I've spent a lot of the last couple days making giant posters with colorful blocks. I never realized how hard it was to draw legos! Holy crap. Corners, little bumps, vague facial expressions, not fun.
The other half of my day has been researching Budweiser for a presentation on their advertising and marketing campaign. I am currently watching a video at insidebudweiser.cnbc.com about the history of Aheuser Busch. Apparently during the 14 years of prohibition, the company switched to selling grape soda, yeast, refrigeration units, and more! The also cryogenically freeze beer so they can comparatively taste test current beers with those of 20 years ago. Freaky! The whole thing is making me thirsty, but I hate Bud and Bud Lite. Someone buy me a Killian's!
In other news, Beth and I are prepping for another trip up to Portage next weekend. It should be fun. Beth's parents are going up and her dad is going to do a two part series on Biblical history and the truth of Christmas. Interesting stuff.
Finally, although I wasn't at church last week, I got to listen to the podcast, and it is rather enticing. Brian has started a series about sex, which Beth and I both thought the American church is too conservative about. They play it out as some evil thing, and try to scare kids away from it with statistics of STD's instead of focusing on how sex really is a great gift from God, and an amazing experience within the marriage context. Sorry to any parents or siblings reading this, but sex is great, I have it, deal with it.
Well, I'm going to wrap up some work on this project and spend some time with my wife, who I believe I am 1 blog ahead of at the moment.
