Target wins me over again.

I have always admired Target's ads. "Hello/goodbuy" is timeless, recognizable, and has long legs. Love the way they use normal household products to create artsy images and a high-end feel. So obviously, I think that the new TV spot for their new dorm line is great. It includes a song I love, even though I can't understand the lyrics ("Calabria," by Enur), cool dance moves I long to imitate, and a furnished dorm room that turns me an intense shade of envy-green.

Boredom has set in.

Discovered a new favorite website, thanks to my cousin Kristen's blog post from a few days ago. Wordle.net lets you input a bunch of text, pick fonts and colors and (sort of) layouts, and--poof--creates a really cool text-based graphic out of all your words! I messed around with it a little bit and came up with a few. My one major gripe is that you can't easily save the resulting image as a JPEG or even a PDF, you just have to screen-shot it. Which is clearly too complicated for me. But I, being the Internet geek that I am, made what I thought was a pretty clever Wordle... check it out here!

(This is, I think, a nicer way of Rickrolling someone...)
