Went to the opening of OCAD’s student showcase after breakfast. I wasn’t overly affected by much of what was on display, some of the paintings and illustrations were nice, but when I reached the 6th floor I did find myself impressed by the quality of the fourth-year graphic design work. There was a nice blend of creative and technical ability. I must admit to being a bit daunted by much of what I saw, but I took it as inspiration, and remembered that these students have five semesters of instruction on me. Note to self - get to work!
After OCAD, it was back home for a much needed nap. Sleep is zen. I awoke to the promise of a Blue Jay’s win, but realized this was not likely, and so went to the movies with friends. While waiting for Harold and Kumar to begin, I was, of course, subject to all of the advertising that pours forth before all the advertising for other movies starts. I was happy to see a very strange, but terrific commercial for Coke Zero featuring two tongues and an eye. Do investigate. Harold and Kumar was funny. There were some close to awkward moments of political incorrectness, but the movie never dwelled on those moments, and moved about with an over-edited and over-dubbed good faith.
I arrived home after the movie, ate some BBQ chips, reheated some pasta, ate a few pistachios nuts, finished with some yogurt, and wrote this post. OK, so maybe there is a lot of food.

I hope that they were Lay's BBQ chips. Everyone knows that they make the best ones. Though I have no reason to think that, other than personal taste. I don't think I have ever seen a Lay's advert. I have seen ads for Pringles, Humpty Dumpty and possibly others, but I think for the first time in my life, I have made a decision on my own, without influence of marketing.
Of course, I suggest you take that with a grain of salt, as the package design itself is it's advertising.
