you are not only one of the most talented graphic designer’s i’ve seen… but you’re definitely one of the wittiest women around! Thanks for sharing your ‘gifts’ – and your gum.
LMAO!!
Don’t ya just love it when someone wants you to do something and they haven’t got a sweet clue what it is that they want so they tell you to “just be creative”.
Have you seen Quarterlife yet? (the geniuses behind thirtysomething, Once & Again, My So-Called Life, etc.) Reminds me of your video blogs. Looks like Quarterlife could be the beginning of a great online TV series evolution. I hope so!
I was really expecting the whole Gwen Stephani commercial on creative streaming–but this was so much better. And honest. You get an “A” for honesty today, Cathy Lou. Thanks.
You crack me up! The whole time I’m watching this I keep thinking of Martin Short ala “Nathan Thurm” on SNL (believe me, it’s a compliment!) That’s all you need is a cigarette instead of the gum! LOL
So Hilarious!! I had to watch multiple times—& it made me laugh each time! LOVE IT!! It’s like how artists are supposed to have this amazing meaningful artist statement, explaining what muse & mystical reasoning they employ to come up with their artwork… My thoughts? “Um I paint because I can… um…”
Cathy you rock! I will be first in line to see your documentary if it’s like that….reminiscent of THE OFFICE (are you a fan of that show)? …especially how you got distracted as you were talking and those shifty eyes. TOO TOO FUNNY! I’ve been reading your blog since the summer and this, honestly, was the funniest thing ever!
O, emgee, would it be too weird to admit that I used to ‘practice’ answers to a pretend series of interview questions, I always imagined them as laugh out loud fun as this, but of course, now I see you doin’ it, I ain’t so funny!!
My husband is probably thinking right now, “What the heck is my wife laughing at?!” LOL. And it’s you… that was hilarious. Thanks for that. 🙂 I wish I liked gum…
OK, I just gotta say it… I love you. You totally make my day. It was a bad time in my life when you stopped blogging. Don’t ever do that to me again. ‘kay?
I’m afraid you’ve been outdone by Coley — his show had me cracking up!! And, I too, have said the very same statement: “If you [insert innapropriate behavior here] you will be in a world of hurt!” Thanks for the laugh.
OMG I spewed coffee all over the screen (come on now it is only a year old, you really should post a warrning) and about wet my pants. You are a priceless gem and I seriously needed some cheering up. I’m not kidding I needed this so bad I am almost crying with relief.
Thank you, thank you thank you from the very bottom of my heart!!
Hey if Brittany can walk out of an interview to go and have a shower..I dont see why yours should end just because you give a crap answer… 😉 Maybe stop wearing underwear to scrap conventions.. or.. try shaving the head?
