Girls 2 - Boys 1

Well it's official, the girls ROCK at Cranium and the guys...not so much. One thing has been proven, another one is showing a high correlation but has yet to be proven. What has been proven is that, even without Poliana's lucky dice throwing, we can win the race on sheer talent. However, we did try to invoke Poliana's dice throwing soul to come and possess us a few times throughout the game, although to no avail. By the way it was also proven that I suck at dice throwing which is why I will never win the lotto or win at the casino or anything of the sort. What has yet to be proven is, Tariq is the men's cranium for Cranium. Yes, the correlation so far is 0.99, when he's there they've won when he's been absent they've lost. But we need to have one more game where Tariq is actually participating to see if the guys can manage to win again. Also, we were one "woman" down, as the fact that Gigi's preggers is causing her cranium to be split between her own body and her baby's. And yes the only reason I can say this and not offend Gigi is because I've been there myself. Anyway, here are some great video clips. One of the guys trying to guess the clue "chocolate mousse". And the next one is of the girls gloating in their victory, which of course annoys the hell out of the guys and is basically the only reason we do it. :)

The videos are a little dark but they are still pretty funny.



The best part is Elika trying to help the guys out after their time is up on how else they could've gotten the right answer.



The golf references (in case you're wondering) that the crazy guy Jero is alluding to is about the fact that we said that if the guys won they'd get 36 holes of golf AND a trip to Formula One, but that if the girls won they've have to send us to a nice spa in Chicago. Let's see what actually ends up happening.

And those of my friends who don't live in Cincinnati are probably thinking, what a GREAT way to spend a Thursday evening. I'd much rather play Cranium than hang out in Old San Juan! Well, this life can be yours too, if you move to Cin City, Porkopolis, Cinci-nasty, whatever you want to call it...it's still rock and roll to me.

Gigi's Baby Shower

Image
Even though I had barely done any planning with the exception of sending out the Evite , I did manage to pull off a very nice baby shower for Gigi. We did it at Essencha Tea House on Madison because we were too many to do it at the Bonbonerie . I got some decorations at Factory Card Outlet and recycled some other ones from Ida's baby shower last September. We had a great showing and the food at Essencha Tea House was really great. I had to bring Gabi with me because Jose had a soccer game but she did OK, even though she was a little tired because she skipped her afternoon nap. In any case, if anyone has a baby or wedding shower to plan, or just wants to go to eat at a nice place, I highly recommend Essencha Tea House . Oh, and the best part is that they serve breakfast all day, which as any friend of mine can bear witness to, is a HUGE plus for me. Speaking of which, after we got home and Gabi finally napped, we went to Boston Market followed by Graeter's . And tha

Marketing Jobs

In my current job I see a lot of people undergoing job transitions and looking to expand their networks in order to improve their chances of future job placement.  Today I met a very interesting woman who had a very similar profile to mine, minus the international experience.  She wanted to talk to me given my similar profile in Marketing and see how I saw the job market these days. She seemed to think that it's harder and harder to find jobs in Marketing in Peru these days. One of the reasons? It seems that because of the economic downturn and the uncertainty about the election results (sounds just like the US, I know) companies are cutting back on Marketing budgets. Sounds familiar right? DON'T. CUT. BACK. ON. MARKETING. BUDGETS. FOLKS.  Maybe there's some fat that you can trim here and there, maybe you change your marketing vehicles in favor of more cost efficient ones like Digital (and I'm not saying you should), maybe you focus more on Trade Marketing or Price
