Pitch correctly and you’ll have more luck

Published by

I just got a canned email pitch from a salesman who deals in packaging. Every once in awhile a TFI member decides to email everyone. He’s promising to take I want – I got to the next level. I don’t think this guy realized that I want – I got is a website. I emailed him to let him know that I can’t see how his packaging company is going to help considering it’s not a physical product. Here is a piece of advice for you business folk. If you bother to do a little research before sending out spam emails then you could focus your time on the right potential clients. While I’m posting about things that annoy me. 1. I won’t tell you the trends for 2008/2009. Join TFI and find out yourself. 2. I don’t work for any of the companies that are listed on this site. Don’t ask me to track down some obscure product, I cannot.

Talking to crazies

Published by

I had an interesting conversation with an older crazy lady about slips yesterday. I was in a store in Commerce Court this afternoon and she was looking for somewhere that sells slips in the area. Having tried looking for slips on lunch before I told her to goto The Bay. She then went off about how women these days don’t wear underwear and that we walk around and you can see everything through the clothes. That’s when my crazy bells went off. You have to remember, we are in the most conservative area of Toronto, the financial district and this lady is going off about I tried to explain that most people didn’t think it was necessary for the extra piece of clothing and we are hardly walking around with clothes that you can see through. Slips are necessary for some clothing, but not all. I told her that I even own a slip but I don’t wear it all the time. The dress pictured below is one I use a slip for, otherwise in …

The camera loves me

Published by

I’m going to be on tv again. This has been the year of the television appearances for yours truly. People are even telling me that I should change careers, lol. I hate tv though, and after being on it I still hate it. Doesn’t matter what you do, you always end up looking like an idiot. I was glad they left the snorting laugh after the technosexual description in the Citytv International CK in2u clip, that was hilarious. I’m not nervous or anything in front of the camera but it’s surreal. That being said, I probably wouldn’t turn down another interview, what the hell is the matter with me? Opening Soon and Citytv International were two strange, out of the blue, random things that happen on the fly short. The filming of both clips took place over a 24hr period. I will be on Opening Soon by Design on HGTV. It all stems from this article I wrote for blogTO on Aiyoku Cardio Lounge. In that post I write It’s Thursday night and I’m on …

5 Things You Don’t Know About Me

Published by

Adrian at Fashion.Verbatim has tagged me with the 5 Things You Don’t Know About Me meme. Ahh were to start. 1. I competed at the Junior National Track and Field Championships, 1994 in Sherbrooke, Quebec. I was an athletic freak in my younger days. I usually played at least 4 sports a year during high school. Now, I just play squash. 2. I wanted to work in the Coroner office when I was in grade 12. I learned you needed a medical degree to be a Coroner. After second year I learned that I wasn’t cut out for medical school. Organic chemistry killed that dream. I didn’t have the dedication to studying that was required, I liked having a social life. 3. I am one of the founders of YAMA – The York University Anime and Manga club. I was an anime freak in university. I’ve calmed down a lot since then but still love my Ghost in the Shell. 4. I work purple platform loafers to my graduation ceremony from York University. It was …

American Masters Annie Leibovitz

Published by

I recently watched the American Masters profile of Annie Leibovitz. I thought it was a really great show and I learned so much about Annie. Not that I knew much, hell, I didn’t even know she was a lesbian. If you can see the rerun tonight, be sure to check it out. I’ve been searching the Internet for a video but have had no luck.

Damn you Google Reader

Published by

I was using Google Reader for a lot of my blog reading. It’s broken right now and has been for awhile. It’s quite irritating as they don’t tell you WTF is going on. Not even an acknowledgment of the problem and a “please be patient”. Looks like I’m gonna have to go to something more reliable. So readers what is your favourite feed reader? I have a bloglines account but I’m not big on the interface to be honest. For those who are asking WTF is an feed reader?
