Week 13: Off of Unemployment

Big step this week.  Thanks to my friends at Happy Owl Studio, I am now making enough to come off of unemployment.  As you'll see from the video this week, I want to be clear how glad I am that unemployment insurance was there for me, and how important it is to keep it around.

For more on Jonathan Kim, check out his movie reviews on his site.  I have many favorites, like Twelve Angry Men, and Wall-E.



If you'd like to enter the Happy Owl Studio poetry competition, you can do that here or here.  They really have a great product and (hopefully) a clever and smart social media presence :) .   Keep up on Facebook and Twitter.

I am out of the gate early and out on a limb (as a happy owl should be) with my first press release on the Valentines Day Poetry Competition.  There is a line somewhere, and I don't know if this is over it . . .

WIN A PAIR OF iPAD CASES FOR A SONG (OR POEM)

Happy Owl Studio Launches Valentines Day social media contest

2/09/2011

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Venice, CA – Happy Owl Studio is running a promotion

And we seek your help in creating commotion.

Two iPad cases will be given away

To the best poet this Valentines Day.

“Find us on Facebook or go onto our blog,

and clear from your mind the webs made of cob.

Submissions are made in comments section,

And on the 14^th of Feb we will make a selection.”

Says Amy Olivera, HOS’s Co-founder.

She also advises, to make sure you don’t flounder,

“We accept all poems, no matter how crappy,

but extra points will be given if they include: ‘Think Happy’”

To the poet who wins, who has written so much,

Goes a wallet in black and nice new red clutch.

Within these cases, iPads can be nicely secluded,

But in this contest, no iPad’s included.

If you think that poetry is sort of a curse,

Find the contest rules here, without all the verse

If you are intrigued, and would like more information,

Please reach out to our new contact, Nathan.
