So say we all

Finally finished watching BSG and I'm sad, sad because I finally found a good sci fi show to watch (i loved DS9, voyager and all those older trek shows, babylon5, firefly, etc) and now i have nothing. I have high hopes for the live action star wars show, really high hopes tbh. I'm also looking forward to the next trek movie, which looks insanely awesome btw.

Anyways, recap on the week: finished my interview w/ the CEO on monday and it went really well. I was able to express my ideas that would work very well w/ their company, maybe too well because he actually wrote them down so if I don't get hired, they may use them, oh the irony. The weirdest thing was him asking if i was smart: umm sure i said, why would i say no haha. He then asked me a trivia question about 3 switches and 3 lightbulbs (u have to figure out which switch belongs to which bulb without going into the light room more than once.) I actually knew the answer as soon as he asked it but i had to play dumb. Well he was impressed and then proceeded to ask me a math question. It was easy, come on, I went up to calculus lol. I should be getting a call back soon so hopefully it looks good for me, otherwise I might have to move back home for a while.

WOW update, 2 pieces away from all purples. Probably my one most desirable goal is to be fully epicced out in all tier gier. Should be soon the way I'm raiding haha. I spend way too much time on the game but I know I wont ever have this opportunity again once I start working so might as well take advantage right?

Ideas

I'm trying to come up with Ideas to share with the CEO of Gala on Monday. I must of done well on my interview to have this follow up so quickly when they never mentioned a 2nd interview before. So far my ideas to help them market their MMO are:

advertise on Crunchyroll and other anime type sites: makes sense because their mmos target the same audience. People on crunchy talk about free 2 play mmos and I don't see Gala mentioned at all, for shame.

Create a blog: another obvious one that Aeria games already has on their site. We're trying to bridge the gap between social marketing and gaming and blogs are definitely a tool that can do that by bringing a social aspect onto the gaming portal i.e Gpotato. Plus its fun for users making things more personal and having ownership because the forum is more about sharing and less focused on the user.

Youtube: another idea i had that aeria already does. Film some trailers, commercials, they need way more video content showing off the game, maybe its producers and post that everywhere - their site, forum, anime sites, gaming portals, blogs, etc. youtube is free and allowing to embedd vids is really a no brainer marketing tool.

Other than that, I'm kinda out in terms of new ideas, I'll have to explore the Iphone/3g stuff, but I need something completely new if I want to stand out on monday. I could always dance too, hopefully he likes locking haha.

Why I need a job

So I can move out, simple as that.

I still feel like I'm back in college, it doesn't help when all of my roomates are still in school and that school is walking distance away =P

I've grown accustomed to people taking over the living room, router being restarted frequently, all the mess and having to clean up for other people but when someone takes my food without asking, I'm pissed. You can drink my drinks, eat some food that I cooked but never ever take all of my bananas away. I bought a bunch of em last week, froze 1 for my shakes and let the others ripen before freezing them too and I take a look the next day and they're all freakin gone. I posted a msg to the other roomates about that and the next hour someone takes an old banana from the fridge and puts it next to the microwave (where my bananas used to be). Wow.
Gets worse, someone's already ripened bunch of bananas is also put there. They're not mine, they're from trader's so obviously someone mistook their bananas to be mine. My problem is no one is admitting it and now they probably think Im dumb for caring about my own food when everyone shares. I only care coz they took everything and replaced it with their own and won't admit it. Stupids.
