No. If you ask to ‘pick my brain’ that is your answer.

Student, charity? Sure. I’m a nice girl. BUT, if you are a professional, a big company, an agency, a brand, a beer, a burger co., an app, a toy, a product, a service, and you operate on currency, don’t ask to pick my brain.  We can chat about an idea, you can call me for advice on clarity.fm, or run something past me in an email. Totally cool. Sometimes I brainstorm over lunch, brunch, and sometimes I really get creative after beers. As Harlan Ellison says “cross my palms with silver and you can use my essay“, ideas in this case.

I think it’s the actual TERM that drives me mental. It’s basically saying “give me your ideas so I can use them”.  If you are asking someone for advice, it’s because you value their opinion. An amature will give you their ideas for free but a professional’s ideas are what you really want.  Forbes posted a great article and if someone ever asks to pick your brain, you should send it to them.

Please don’t use that expression. It’s my biggest pet peeve aside from people calling me CASSIE. It’s happened at least twice in emails today. My email is CASIE@CASIESTEWART.COM How can you get my name wrong?! Doh.

You Look aLike a Celebrity!

I had to give it a try. I saw photos pf people I knew and famous faces poppin up all over Twitter, Facebook, Instagram. I’ve gotten Sharon Stone before and Nicole Richie is the most common celebrity match I’ve had the last ten years.

Here are my celebrity matches:

Madonna, Spielberg, maybe I have a famous looking face? I always loved Brittany Murphy.

The app is called aLike and it’s free for iPhone. Download, select photo of you or someone else, and voila, you have a match. Think Lauren looks like an Patricia Arquette, oui, non?

I cruised around my fav area (current construction zone) Queen/Spadina. My condo is right up the street and I really feel I can do just about anything in this neighbourhood. There’s lots of places to eat, drink, shop, or just hang out. There’s always lots happening, the streets are busy, and you’re close to the water or highway for a quick getaway.

Do You Believe in Magic?

I do.

 

But you have to create it.

You have to build it.

Manufacture it.
The means of production are all yours.
Open the doors to the factory inside your mind.
Let it all out. Let it spill over the sides of everything and flood the basement.

Build a house out of it.

Build a life.
A magical life to live.
