Drivel Drivel: April 2004
http://joethegreat.blogspot.com/2004_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 30, 2004. But then again, I paid $5 and waited the customary 7 minutes for this so what the heck. First, the curry. I stab at the brown puddle with the damn knife before managing to transfer a few measly drops to my mouth only to regret ever bothering. If one were to mix 2 parts curry powder with 2 parts water, this is exactly what one would get. Yummy. Decide immediately to abandon. Posted by Joel at 5:16 pm. This puts some words on the monitor and also makes for great toilet humour).

Drivel Drivel: December 2004
http://joethegreat.blogspot.com/2004_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 28, 2004. I’m having dinner on Sunday when Kenneth, whom I’ve not seen, heard from, nor so much as thought of in a year calls. Kenneth: Hey Joe, Merry Christmas! Joe: Ah, it’s a bit late. Kenneth: I wanna fuck you upside down! Why the fuck got financial planner call me? Kenneth: Pretty or not? If pretty then I meet her. Joe: Eh Ok lar. Not babe not ugly. Kenneth: What the fuck answer is that? At this point, I manage to scald my tongue on some soup. Joe: I burnt my tongue lar! Karaoke re...

Drivel Drivel: October 2004
http://joethegreat.blogspot.com/2004_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 29, 2004. The Last Two and a Half Weeks. Now that I have some time on my hands, I’d better jot this down. Met up with a creative director earlier this week and showed him my book. He told me beforehand that he wasn’t hiring which was disappointing but at least it eased the pressure a lot. So anyway, he liked 2 of the 3 campaigns I had. (Yes. I know that’s a miserable number of campaigns to have in a portfolio but I’m lazy. So there.). The Huggies ads are cute. That’s what he said....That ...

Drivel Drivel: January 2005
http://joethegreat.blogspot.com/2005_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 31, 2005. In my boredom, I have resorted to reading Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix. No, I didn’t buy it. I borrowed it from Anita.) And I’ve found it surprisingly good thus far, which is scary. All those spells and odd creatures (Dementors etc.) and weird names (Dumbledore, Voldemort) are all getting to me. Probably explains why the Bible is such an enduring favourite. Must make mental note NOT to read this in public though. Toast #1] To masturbation! On my new haircut] Wah!

Drivel Drivel: July 2004
http://joethegreat.blogspot.com/2004_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 31, 2004. We won fishhead curry and a book. The company outing was yesterday (just) and we went bowling. There were prizes up for grabs and so each team tried its best. I bowled a spectacular game as usual, coming 2nd behind Adrian (not the contributor on this blog) with a whopping score of 68 in the first game. What? Ah well, bowling’s not my game. Skinny wrists and a bad back don’t help at all. Posted by Joel at 12:08 am. Friday, July 30, 2004. Posted by Joel at 11:41 pm. He is the son o...

Drivel Drivel: June 2004
http://joethegreat.blogspot.com/2004_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 28, 2004. On The Creative Process. It’s like washing a pig. It’s messy, it has no rules, no clear beginning, middle, or end; it’s kind of a pain in the ass, and when you’re done, you’re not sure if the pig is clean or even why you were washing a pig in the first place. Welcome to the creative department. Luke Sullivan, Hey Whipple, Squeeze This. Posted by Joel at 11:30 pm. How does one go about picking someone else up anyway? Do pickup lines work? The usual wanna be friends? Clubbing session...

Drivel Drivel: November 2004
http://joethegreat.blogspot.com/2004_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 25, 2004. I was stumbling around on the net and then I hit this. Time to start reading books again. Math Whiz Breaks Calculation Record. A 38-year-old with degrees in psychology, education and computer science needed only 11.8 seconds to calculate the 13th root of a 100-digit number in his head, setting a new record, organizers said.

Drivel Drivel: September 2004
http://joethegreat.blogspot.com/2004_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 30, 2004. Here’s an admission: I write sucky copy. No, it doesn’t suck in the grammatical sense. It sucks in the sense that nobody will ever read it. Or, even if they do somehow muster the willpower to try and comprehend the words, they’d fail miserably. It’s full of corporate-speak and/or technical jargon. It’s bursting with buzzwords that’ve been used ad nauseam. Imagine eating a cinnamon roll that’s ALL cinnamon. I myself strain to proofread my own copy. Ok, fair enough. They’r...

Drivel Drivel: August 2004
http://joethegreat.blogspot.com/2004_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 31, 2004. Where Do We Go From Here? But having said that, it’s still barely a month into the new season. Surely, a manager of Sir Bobby’s standing deserves more time than a month to get things right. It’s true that some of his recruits haven’t impressed but he’s been nowhere near as extravagant as Houllier in buying flops. What’s for sure is that the board must take their time to decide. No more Dalglishes or Gullits thank you very much. The new manager has got to be able to take ...Final...
