Update

again, i don't really have anything fun to report except an update on how everything's going. it's going well. the end.

i'm finally breaking out of this cold. the past few days were the high points, and today i finally woke up feeling normal. i'm just coughing left and right and sniffling a little. but at least it's on the receding in. i'm glad i'll have already gone through it. when i am sick i notice all the germs i pass by in a given day. in the tube, i see people cough or sneeze into their hand all the time, which they then put back up on the rail. EWW!!!!!! i'm a good bit more considerate than that. and i only touch the rail if i absolutely have to. plus i brought antibacterial stuff over. i use it a lot... a lot a lot.

work was actually fun today. really it was bc i kept busy. i was given several long projects to do (and by long i mean a couple hours). i actually felt better knowing i had a good bit of stuff to do rather than finishing a small task and asking what they needed next. i did learn how to bind things today in this little black plastic rings with the 20-something loops. and i did a lot of scanning and printing. ha... i'm such an intern! one fun thing is learning about upcoming movies that i haven't heard anything about otherwise. there's a couple coming out next year that look pretty good - at least by the screen shots. there's one coming out next fall with mike meyers called The Love Guru. it's got jessica alba, justing timerlake, and the midget in Austin Powers. what was interesting was that each of those people have different licensing guidelines. like mike meyers will let people use his voice and image in anything. justin timberlake won't let his image or voice be used. i thought that was interesting. and bc of that, looking through the movie stills, there isn't one with him in it. he's only on the cover. bc those movie stills that we received are the ones that licensees can use to put on their products. i hope i'm not breaking any rules by mentioning all that. i just thought it was interesting. so you'll never see a product with The Love Guru on it that features an image of justin timberlake.

another movie coming out is called The Tale of Despereaux. it's computer animated, and it's about a mouse with big ears living in a middle ages type of world. i couldn't make out what the story was about, but the images look pretty good. it looks like one that would be fun to see at some point.

i'm also helping marianne off and on as she works on designing the new logo and website. it looks like the new logo is set and it looks really good. the website is coming together. i saw images of the options for the front page. if you want to check out the website now, you'll be able to realize the improvements that have been made when it's finished. it's http://www.cplg.com/.

i guess that's all the updating i have to do right now. feel free to ask me questions that i can answer on here.
