Don't look so sad. When we're in the mood for a twenty-four-ounce cup of pumpkin-pie-flavored Cool Whip, a Feist CD covered in mocha fingerprints, a possibly exaggerated memoir by a former child soldier, and some customer "service" that denies our essential humanity, we still head straight to our corner Starbucks. Or the one across from that one. Or the one that will have opened farther down the block by the time we finish typing this sentence.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 16.8pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="color: #1d1d1d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Here's the thing, though: We're never, ever in that mood.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 16.8pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="color: #1d1d1d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">What we do like is<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><em>coffee.</em><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>If coffee were smack, we'd be Pete Doherty and we'd refuse to give it up, even if it cost us our career and our supermodel girlfriend. And we'll tank up anywhere: the neighborhood joint with the womyn-friendly breast-feeding policy and the couches composed entirely of rusty springs; the swill dispenser down the hall; an AA meeting. Anywhere, that is, but Starbucks.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 16.8pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="color: #1d1d1d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">In this we're not alone. America is a caffeine nation, perpetually jacked up on gallons of magma-hot fuck-yeah juice, and logically you guys should still be making more money than Halliburton and Hannah Montana combined. Instead your market share is crumbling, and so is your cultural primacy. Snooty people have moved on to snootier coffee—shade-grown, fair-trade, artisanal, brought down the mountain by mules that have good dental coverage. Everybody else went back to Dunkin' Donuts. You're still part of the fabric of American life—think of Mary-Kate Olsen's ever present Venti cup, proof despite massive evidence to the contrary that she's Just Like Us—but so is soul-crushing corporate suckitude. Your new ads spotlight a straight-down-the-middle brew called Pike Place Roast. We're glad you're getting back into the coffee business—seriously, is there anything you<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><em>haven't</em><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>put in a latte yet? Courvoisier? DayQuil? unicorn tears?—but we've tried this stuff, and it should come with an Egg McMuffin on the side. It's a rich, complex blend of desperation and mediocrity.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 16.8pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="color: #1d1d1d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">The real problem is that there used to be something about you, Starbucks, and now there isn't. You were a quintessentially '90s company. You were from Seattle, the same rainy cradle of anticorporate corporateness that gave us Microsoft and major-label grunge. Young dreamers camped out in your stores all day like the cast of<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><em>Friends,</em><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>filling napkins with business plans for e-commerce Web sites. ("It's like Pets.com for Wiccans!") We were all going to get crazy rich and wear ironic sexy grandpa T-shirts to offices where we'd play Frisbee golf instead of working. A $4 latte wasn't an extravagance; it was a little rehearsal for the cushy life that was about to be ours. Even your stupid fake-Italian language made us feel sophisticated. The 7-Eleven crowd could have their week-old bubblin' crude; we'd be over here, talking like Marcello Mastroianni, because we knew better. Even back then, you seemed a little evil-empire-ish. But man, your chairs were comfy. So we drank your overpriced espresso-shakes.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><em>We drank them up!</em><o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 16.8pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="color: #1d1d1d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">You know the rest. Cobain died. We got Dubya, war, a recession, and our workplace doesn't have a Centipede machine. We're living in an era of diminished expectations, and if things aren't going so well for you, maybe it isn't because people resent your McDonald's-esque omnipresence, those cups adorned with quotes from deep thinkers like Josh Groban and David Copperfield, or the fact that you roast your beans under the space shuttle. Maybe it's because your neither-luxurious-nor-particularly-affordable idea of affordable luxury now seems like a nonfat, half-caf, quadruple-grande bad joke. With extra foam.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 16.8pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="color: #1d1d1d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">In other words, you've brought this on yourself. If we learned one thing from<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><em>The Wire,</em><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>it's that you can only control all the corner real estate in town and pay disenfranchised young people to sling an addictive product for so long before you lose your grip on the game. But we're not mad at you, Starbucks. Give us a call sometime. We'll grab a coffee. It's on us—we just shorted your stock.<o:p></o:p></span></div>Montserrat Illustrationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09136678187279118293noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-174195492032691149.post-36717901633818197112010-10-27T10:49:00.000-07:002010-10-27T10:51:05.512-07:00Student Work: Weekly Dig Cover, "Fall"<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLIH6nCs8zKfQ-rWCRbHvZI9aZ-N1CpWxf5k6NexyprPA0lEO-8J5BLwaOEFsHfH9IZ80rxjkyOYgNrJZmLfPYczjzLX-aIH2lTW55YHMrtFn4NShujEZOYwg3DUNNYx__0rd1POB9C6w/s1600/dig_kelly.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="282" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLIH6nCs8zKfQ-rWCRbHvZI9aZ-N1CpWxf5k6NexyprPA0lEO-8J5BLwaOEFsHfH9IZ80rxjkyOYgNrJZmLfPYczjzLX-aIH2lTW55YHMrtFn4NShujEZOYwg3DUNNYx__0rd1POB9C6w/s320/dig_kelly.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Kelly Mahoney</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

For $1,200 a day, Pieters will help parents tame their brats. Whether it's a problem with too much stuff ("I visited some kids in Long Island who had their own moon bounce," Pieters says) or incessant back talk ("Some children's vocabulary is limited to 'Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!'"), the solution is the same: "Set limits and stick to them." The hard part for most moms and dads is admitting there's a problem in the first place.

A possible solution comes from Asra Q.

Turns out what her kid liked most wasn't the trip in the limo to the recording studio or even the playtime with a real tiger cub. It was the simpler, everyday stuff, the things that any kid's birthday party might include, like a birthday cake.

They named her Sedna.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 14.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Day by day, as the sun became weaker and smaller, Sedna grew stronger and bigger. She grew and grew very quickly until, in no time at all, she was huge. Soon she was bigger than her giant parents. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 14.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The bigger she got the more she ate and the more she needed to eat, but there were not enough plants on the land to satisfy her hunger. One night, ravenously hungry, she began to gnaw her parents legs.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 14.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">‘Owww!’ they cried, ‘that's enough of that.’ With a great struggle they bundled Sedna up in a blanket and carried her to their canoe. It was dark but they paddled out to sea in the light of a hazy moon. When they reached the middle of the ocean, they pushed Sedna overboard into the icy waters.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 14.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">And that, they thought, was that. They started to paddle back towards the land, shivering for the cold and also for shame at what they had done to their own daughter. Yet before they had gone far, the canoe stopped - no matter how fast they paddled, the canoe would not move forward. To their horror they saw two hands, Sedna's hands, reaching out of the water to grip the canoe and then to rock it from side to side.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 14.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The giants felt the boat shaking. Soon they would be tossed into the ocean they would surely drown, unless they did something quickly.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 14.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Simply to save themselves, they pulled out sharp knives and chopped off Sedna's fingers. One by one the fingers splashed into the sea and, as they sank, they changed into swimming creatures. One became a whale, one a seal, another a walrus, another a salmon. The fingers changed into all the creatures of the seas.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">As for Sedna, she drifted through new shoals of fish to the bottom off the ocean. There the fishes built her an underwater tent. Above her, the cold waters formed a crust of ice and sealed Sedna in her wintry, watery world. She still lives there, and whenever the Inuit are short of food, they call on Sedna and she provides it, even in the depths of winter.</span></span><o:p></o:p></span></div><!--EndFragment-->Montserrat Illustrationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09136678187279118293noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-174195492032691149.post-34117413064458940612010-09-06T19:57:00.001-07:002010-09-06T19:57:40.900-07:00BBC Headlines<div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: Arial;"><o:p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></o:p></span></b><b><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Size: ratio of 8”x 10”</span></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Illustration 3 elaborates the standard demands and practices of the professional illustrator, while offering experience to the student through the sampling of a wide variety of assignments. In creating Illustration for real assignments, students will build on the conceptual skills in Illustration I, and on the personal vision and formal picture making skills honed in Illustration II. Attention to the marketplace, content concerns, art direction, reproduction, deadlines, and other obstacles to the illustrator are addressed and experienced. <o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Students will receive on assignment at the end of class to complete by the given deadline. Missed deadlines will be seen as missed jobs (and a zero for a grade) unless a proper excuse has been given (family emergency, serious illness). Most of the class is based on focused critiques that help us evaluate the quality of your craftsmanship as well as your conceptual thinking. A student’s ability to talk about their own work AND the work of others demonstrates a mature artistic mind that is able to communicate and articulate ideas appropriately, whether it be with a colleague or an art director. Lectures on artists, contracts, color, and different markets will also be a constant element in the classroom, as well as exercises in sketching and brainstorming. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since we meet only once a week it is important to be present at classes. Each student is allowed 2 excused absences for the semester. Critiques and class time are a vital element to the class, and if a student exceeds more than 2 unexcused absences they will fail for the semester. Please give yourself proper time to settle in before class starts. Lateness is noticed.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .25in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Grading will consist of several elements, including your ability to finish work on time and in a professional manner. Class participation and attendance plays a factor as well as your ability to build upon and utilize constructive criticism from past classes. Your ability to follow directions such as size, color restrictions, and other requirements will also contribute to your final grade.</span></span><o:p></o:p></div>Montserrat Illustrationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09136678187279118293noreply@blogger.com0
