Corn syrup.
Shane: Apparently corn syrup might have mercury in it.
Nate: Aw, dude. Why did I have that soda today?

Nate: For the party. Obviously.

Drinking:
16 ounces of Vitamin D milk.
Mug of water. Voiceover booth is in use; can’t turn on coffee machine.
7 oz. Vitamin Water Power-C. Roommate has mono; I am convinced this will keep me healthy. (Would have been 8 oz.; spilled easily an ounce of it on myself in a pro move while fidgeting with what I thought was a closed bottle.)

01.15.08 Day one: Let's try this.
Eating:
Healthy Choice Beef Merlot Cafe Steamer. Meat is good; reminded that I heavily dislike green beans.

sailinharry: I just got propositioned in German

Moglich the Internet will help me to find the Gluck. I look for only the serious relations. No plays.

There aren’t a lot of reels that I think really tell a story, but this one impresses the hell out of me. Also, it’s encouraging when companies are constantly doing new work to see them still make the time to put out a fantastic summary of their own work. Stay tuned for Transvideo’s 2009 reel. :)

I really like some of the color palettes here. Checked it out while we were doing the Hoperatives logo a few weeks back. Very nice.
