Sunday bloody sunday

So like Marketing Simulation - Day One was intense. We met at 7:45, scarfed down donuts and got down to work. Team with highest cumulative net income wins. Product is cold medicine. Team Blue Steel (don't ask) started out being 25th out of 30 at the end of the first year. 16th at the end of the second and 8th in the end of the third. Morale is high. Competition is intense. 4th period saw us tied for 8th place again. Need to do something about this. Must win. Simply must.

Saturday was spent sleeping till 1:45 pm (the first time I've slept later than 7 am since I got to Boston). Had a strategy session with the rest of the team to figure out how to sell more cold medicine. Made dinner and popped off to bed.

Currently reading Nazi Hunter - The Wiesenthal File by Alan Levy - highly recommended. This book reads like a thriller. Provides key insights and information about the holocaust and the analysis done by Wiesenthal is mind-blowing.

Was woken up VERY nicely this morning. Have had images of samosas in my head all day. Made parathas and aloo for breakfast with black tea at 9 am, yelled at the Punjabi munda and promptly went back to bed. Woke at 4 pm. Have wasted entire day being slothful. Man it feels good. Now if I only had a television, life would be close to perfect.

Missed seeing the Blue Man Group today. Was thinking of going to Target with the Postal woman just to get out of the house (and, presumably, bed) but too lazy now. Yet still desperately need entertainment. I shall go for a late night movie!

Looking forward to Thanksgiving in EnYCee with the Goog monster and her to-be-hubby. Fun and games, luvvies, fun and games. We're going to be Japanese porn chicks with blue-black hair (with bangs, natch), checked skirts and black fish nets. Oh the fun we'll have walking arm in arm with our Bolshevic hats speaking in tongues. I'm practically giddy with glee.

Should finish brand and positioning paper for tomorrow and investigate all the big-screen options this blechy town has to offer. Pray for me. Pray the Gods of Marketing rain down manna from the Heavens and Blue Steel wins in the top three. Lord knows I could do with at least one A in my first term.
