Hey, bro ! Congrats on the Muellandher account. Told you it wouldn't be more than a week or two. Remember, I also accept payment in beer :-)

When do you want to get together ? I imagine you'll want to bring the boys out and celebrate for a bit. I've got a few - ahem - party favors I could bring to share :-) let me know beforehand how much I should travel with.
Gimme a ring later tonite !
Feb. 12th
Amazing day today ! Everything finally clicked with Henry over at Muellander, he confided in me today that we weren't going to get the job, they're giving it to someone else. As if I didn't already know ! (lol).
Jessye's going to be happy, and it's just in time - the new JBL should arrive tonite and I'll need some cash to pay off the plastic. A couple more gigs like this and I might be able to make that trip to Punta del Este with Jessye and the boys.
Wrote another piece today, too; gotta run it by Sid, Aaron, and if he has time, Jessye.
[maybe insert sample of his work of art here ?]
Hmmmm... regarding the moral dilemma thing, I think the tradeoff's worth it. Fuck being poor, unrecognized and scrupulous for the rest of my natural life. It's not like Y&R will miss the business, anyway.

Weirdest thing ! When the delivery guy brought the JBL home theatre system on Wednesday, after I signed for the shit and brought the boxes inside, there was this huge mewling/howling outside my door for, like, half an hour. When I finally went out to see what it was, lo and behold there's a perfectly white, perfectly ownerless cat on my doorstep ! I know none of my neighbors has cats, neither does Wanda down the hall or the Schultzes, so I guess he'll spend the night with me while I figure out whose he is.
He's beautiful, kind of like a lion without the color - he's got this huge mane and amazing blue eyes. Seems friendly, too ! Real affectionate.
I'll get him some catfood on the way to practice tonite.

Hey man, got another potential for you - we're pitching Bang & Olufsen tomorrow night. Look's like it would be perfect for you: limited-length campaign, East Coast media market, plus your type of demographic. I've already worked up a gem of a dummy pitch I know they'll reject. Trick now is to get Stander to fall for it.
[ed: insert later screed about how Jessye didn't use one of his ideas for one of the accounts. You see, nameless wants to think he' writing the winning scripts for Jessye, but doesn't realize Jessye is doing it all himself (just taking the leads he's given and the winning on the strength of his own firm's ideas)]

Still can't figure out where this cat came from ! Nobody on my floor has ever seen it before. It'd be a shame to give him away now, after we've taken such a liking to each other. The SPCA can't promise that they won't uput him down if they don't find a foster family, so I think I'll keep him. There ! Decision made. Maybe I'll name him Stander ! lol ! No, better yet: Punta del Este.
In other news, I caclulate that if I bag Bang & Olufsen I can do the trip with Jessye. Maybe three or four more (with a bigger cut, maybe 15%) and I'll be able to jump ship for good.
Marissa's coming over tonite, I'm putting on risotto con carne with tapas to start. Should blow her freakin' socks off ! Wait 'til I tell her about the trip - maybe I should hold off on that ? We'll see. After a couple of glasses of this wine I may not be able to - LOL !
Time go go feed Punta, he's scratching at my leg... must be hungry, poor guy.

Wow, is Punta ever gorgeous. His fur is softer than milliner's velvet, and his eyes - those eyes ! - are like the blue ice of an Arctic glacier. He's the most composed, affectionate animal I've ever seen, and I've owned not a few cats and dogs in my time.
He can't be more tha two or three years old, at his size, but he's like the feline equivalent of an old soul. Under all that hair he's pretty muscular - I wonder what breed he is. The pictures closest to looking like him that I could find on the Internet were of Norwegian forest cats. It says here that they used to guard Viking storehouses of grain from marauding mice. I guess as an outdoor cat he likes to run around and chase things, but since he's been here all he does is follow me from room to room and watch me do stuff on the iMac.
The Sheffield speakers are amazing - those connectors recommended by the salesguy really did the trick. We watched Independence Day on the DVD and during the battle scene it sounded like the freakin' roof was about to come off ! I still didn't tell her about the trip, pfah. I'll land the gig first, then tell her. I think she's a little pissed I was paying so much attention to Punta. She didn't even want to get all fucked up on E like I usually do - didn't even stay the night ! What, does she think my balls don't go blue just like the next guy's ? And I could so get it up, I only did a couple of lines. She'd understand if she'd just try it, once.
Pfah. Meeting at eight tomorrow. Couple more lines, some sangria, and I'm hitting the sack.
