The day I dropped the ball.

So I work for Absolut. This much you know. We are in fact having a large GLAAD Media Award Show in NY in Times Square this coming Monday. I've been helping out, getting it all organized for this big Event. I've even gone through walk throughs to get visuals of where everything is going, etc. So I was in charge of getting these 'dummy' bottles ordered via Absolut. They were suppose to look something like this:

Empty 1 litre bottles. So today I get a call from some moving storage place saying they had a huge delivery for us. We were all confused in the office and headed down to the street to meet him with 3 dolly's prepared for whatever was headed our way. So I, turns out, ordered 30 of these:



GO TEAM MATTHEW!

Straw (berry fields forever)

So, I just got a large green iced tea from Starbucks and I wanted to blog about my straw experience. I got this really huge straw. It's enormous and green. I think they liked to match my green tea, or perhaps think that they're a 'green' company, even though the straw will end up in a land fill somewhere-but it's GREEN! Anywho, this straw is big, and really thick. It's in the top ranking of the pinkberry straws and randomly the Olive Garden straws. Now, if you've visited one of these venues you'd understand. These are sturdy straws, I almost feel bad throwing them away-like I should hold on to it for my future straw needs. It's like when you get something delivered or to go from a nice restaurant and they use top quality utensils and you feel like you should save them (even though they dont match any of your utensils) but they're disposable! Well, ok-enough of my straw blog, I should probably do some work.

WAIT


I just realized I miss crazy straws! I was going to input a photo of a straw (my blog has been missing visuals lately-and I know a straw picture is SO exciting) and I totally came across crazy straws! Oh, how i miss thee!
