coming soon to a monitor near you

excellent news, i got an invite this morning from the art directors club. they want me to run a full workshop on advertising as part of their saturday career workshop. got a set of dates to choose from. and i picked april fools' day, thinking ill most probably come up with some spin on it. looking forward to it obviously. should be a great opportunity to make myself useful and get myself maybe a step closer to the big move to an agency in the eu next year.

also, presented the agency website concepts this afternoon to the company uppity-ups. was able to deliver more than what theyd expected. even got a standing o from ed the ceo. he always does that though coz he's canadian and seems to have a natural appreciation for things. but, glad to know that the project's moving ahead. plus, even greater, sold them into running an agency blog. which is already actually up somewhere in cyberspace, currently in its unofficial form. details to be disclosed shortly.

but enough business, time to balance things out—got myself a nice hour and a half yoga session after work. been promoted to the next level of classes. the asanas (movements) are getting crazier and crazier. much more challenging now but still a nice balance between wtf am i doing with this crazy standing on my shoulders and wow its actually relaxing and energizing.

after the physical exertion, treated myself to a nice healthy dinner at the friendly neighborhood billburg cafe, great atmosphere coz everyone gets treated as though he/she's a regular. everyone knows the owner by his first name coz he always opens up a conversation with everyone. very cozy in a you can join the chitchat of the people around cozy sort of way. which is quite a feat considering its new york, land of the walking silos.

nearly the weekend now. will play some badminton and racquetball tomorrow night. and some much-needed party-heartying saturday night. and a nice relaxed post-yoga brunch with friends on sunday. we're all set. good to go. but first, some Zs.
