9 years later....

brent finally graduated this weekend! yay!

it's about damn time.

we love him :o)

perfect.

cuppycakes!

damn advertising...

so here's the thing. it amazes me how communication works...for example, this is the last thing i received from a fortune cookie. and i still have it. that cookie knew what it was talkin' about it.

granted, there's not much "design" to this one...but someone had to think of the "fortune". and i wanna know who the clever little asian was that said "hey let's tell people what to do or what will happen via this scrumptious vanilla flavored wafer."

there is debate on what country invented the first fortune cookie...but whoever it was...smart thinkin' asia. smart thinkin'. i very much enjoy your delicious fortunes. i would call this a marketing triumph for fortune cookie makers. simple. fun. it works. even if you don't eat em...you know you crack em open because you're curious. fortune cookie-1. you-0.

here's what i hate: the geico pothole.

i have no words for how much i HATE this commercial. it's not that i think it's bad, i just can't handle that voice. it reminds me of britney spears. i'm not hatin' on ole brit...i love the woman. but the sound of this pothole makes me want to cut my own ears off. brent thinks it's hilarious. and maybe i've laughed at him laughing at it...but not at the actual commercial it's self. however, it does grab my attention. damn you geico, you win again. (although, i use state farm...)

but here's where i think the marketing went all wrong: quizno's torpedo.

who in god's name: a) thought that "torpedo" was a good name for a sandwich? and b) wrote the script for these commercials?

why the hell would i want to put that in my mouth? and secondly, an oven telling the guy making my sandwich to "put it in" him is absolutely NOT going to make me want to purchase one of these. fail. epic fail.

the national craze: the snuggie.

i've said for the last year that i would never own one of these. i mean it's a bathrobe turned around backwards. but then brent told me about this website where you can get a free one...maybe it's real. maybe it's not. i guess we'll see. but like i always say "if it's free, i want it."

this commercial is AWFUL. but hilarious. first off all...these people are WAY too excited about their snuggies. like the guy using the remote as his harry potter stick to turn on the tv and raising the roof at the end. also, just noticed the old guy freezing to death at whatever sporting event is "going on" during this ad. he's miserable without his snuggie. also, the woman using the book light is obviously blind because she's using it with the lights on. but this god awful commercial has got me all excited about getting mine for free. i want it. it was a long fight. but i'm finally embracing the snuggie.

i think i'll go watch more tv now. so that america can fill my head with more ridiculous advertisements to buy it's random shit that's probably all produced in china anyway....like the fortune cookies.

2505 reunion

i'm in love with my friends. i wish jenny lived closer. but it's nice to be able to get out of town for awhile. lauren and i roadtripped down to see her friday. after 5.5 hours in the car, a soy sauce incident, and stressful baton rouge traffic, we finally made it to lacombe. passed out. woke up. and went back to b.r. for tech/lsu tailgaiting and football.

thaaaaaaaank you miss moreau!
i don't even know what this was.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" - jenny
muh ladies. the best group of friends known to man.
this one's a framer.
2505 loves me.

jenny and her new mister.

no words to describe my love for them. they make me happy.
chillin' out, relaxin', maxin' out cool.

boots.

we love tech & lsu. it's an inner battle okay?



i miss this.


my friends are cute.

ran into this guy. love surprises.
fellow tech lovers.
and found brian!






then sunday, we went for a little shopping trip in nola after we crashed a fancy sushi bar in sweat pants. hey...that's how 2505 rolls. then headed to u.o. yay urban! (i had to make up for the failed trip to u.o. last weekend with brent...and trust me...i definitely made up for it).

my favorite city.
i had to give poor lauren a break and do the city driving.
and i gave her camera duty.

she makes me laugh.

and makes herself laugh too.














le cure.










necessary roadtrip items.

we made it back to shreveport right at 10. not too bad considering the hour we spent in baton rouge trying to find a place to pee.....don't ask. baton rouge sucks sometimes.

i miss my ladies already. but i'm glad that i have a break from weekend trips for awhile. 3 times to new orleans and baton rouge in one month is ALOT of driving. i'm exhausted.

thanks to miss moreau for a fun weekend and miss sowell for being my roadtrip buddy. i love you ladies.

much love.
