And the Oscar goes to:

The beginnings of the days are now routine. While Bob gets up at 8.20 am, takes a shower, Rob still sleeps until 8.40 am. Of course it's not real sleep, the alarm goes at 8 am. But it's a slumber mode for 40 minutes, not a hey-I'm-fit-let's-get-up-mode. And if you think now that it's quite luxury to get up at 8.40 am on a working day, then don't forget that we LIVE IN THE AGENCY. We just walk 5 meters to our desks. Sounds cool, but we don't have any excuses for coming late. "The bus...no...my bike had...no...there was a huge...no..." We have no chance...
At Springer & Jacoby, like some creatives know, it is common to keep the agency and offices as clean as possible. Just a phone and computer on the desk, no things on the walls, no picking in one's nose...hehe... But today was a day of changes. Before we had group tables, like two tables together, and a mess was everywhere... So we made a long row of tables in the middle of the room. Now it's more a feeling of a big team and that's cool. Only in the evening and night Rob & Bob fuck up the room: beer bottles on the tables, disco light, a fog machine, crazy music and we dance wildly in extasy. No, of course not... but the beer bottles are true...hehe. (We hoped the smell of beer would drive the mosquitos away. No, wrong thought.)
Our boss Niklas visited us today... That was a very cool surprise!!! He was in town for today, so he came to visit us... Was really nice to see him!
As you know from the Rob & Bob Mediashop video, R'n'B are real good actors...haha. So today we got a great assignment just as we like it: Our creative director, Murray, wanted us to act in a commercial for a credit management company. (Nothing could embarrass us after having had Stand-up Comedy lesson in 4th quarter in school.) So we said "Yes"! It is a spot where a business scenario is related to an action movie scene. So we had to play tough guys. With shouting and being angry. Hell yes, let your agressiveness out! Of course it wasn't the real spot, it was for showing the client how it could look like... We did our best...

Today striked us that Haribo "Cherries" (they are awesome) taste differently in Holland than in Germany. Probably because here the laws are not really there. I don't want to know what the green is of the cherry... ooohhh, suddenly I feel so gooooood... I believe I can fly.... And a pink elefant.... Okay, now I unpacked the whole clichés... No no, Holland is a good country and they won't do that! It's strange, sometimes it can happen that something tastes different in another country though it's the same. I think it's the cultural influence here, the new environment. So if it's already in Holland like that, how would it be in Wladiwostok or so? Rob & Bob in Wladiwostok coming soon! Stay tuned!

Das Wort zum Donnerstag (the word for thursday): Mosquitos are bad. Really really bad and no one needs them! Basta!
