Animal Crossing: Wild World blog

F O U R H M A N . C O M : weblog archive / AC Wild World Diary

Speaking of blogging AC:WW, why don't I do a little right now? I'm getting tired of only having pears (Skullton's native fruit) and peaches (Mom sent me one, I planted it and harvested and replanted) so I sent letters to a lot of the animals, asking them for fruit. (I enclosed a pear in each letter.)

  • Jay replied with a tall cactus, which he dug up in his backyard.
  • Punchy replied with a gas pump, which he said fell out of a tree he shook.
  • Wart Jr. sent me a pinball machine.
  • Gladys sent a classic chair, which she said she won in a contest.
  • Annabelle's letter said, "I bought two of these, so now we'll match!" It was a stone tile.


Well, better luck next time, Mr. Jeff.

Parting Is Such Sweet Sorrow

By Kathleen Sampey

NEW YORK Wieden + Kennedy here has won media planning and buying duties for ABC TV network and the ABC Family cable channel, the client confirmed.

Omnicom Group's OMD in Los Angeles handled the business for eight years.

The assignment covers categories such as entertainment, news, daytime and late-night programming for the cable channel and network, which air shows such as Jimmy Kimmel Live and Desperate Housewives.

Sources estimate billings close to $100 million. TNS Media Intelligence lists ABC's media spend at $140 million in 2005.


I'm pretty sure there's got to be a downside to this, but for the moment all I can think is, SO LONG ACTIVE INTERNATIONAL!
