In case anyone is interested, my winning ad for the website "colleges.com" (along with a couple more projects in my portfolio) is up for download at my online locker space.  

I've provided both low and high resolution versions, depending on your preference.

Would love to see it...couldn't get it working.

Congrats anyway.
I know you probably have a secret fantasy about stowing me in your luggage and tossing your boyfriend overboard Natalie Wood style. Then trapsing through the Austrian alps with me, but I am sorry.
I have to re-stain my deck. Otherwise I'd be all for it.

Have a good time without me.

Thanks for the attempt, smack.  Will think of you constantly while away.  :)

Maybe try again?  I tried them on a couple different computers, including the ever svelte Apple G5 (dying to have one) with a T1 and my slow Win XP at home with 56k.  Did you right click - "save target as"?

I'll check for glitches.

Did you go to Europe yet?

Make sure to visit the Catacombs in Paris.

Paris is the most beautiful city in the world.

I went, my journey began at LAX June 18th at 4 something in the morning with a brief hangout in Pittsburgh and from there a straight shot all the way to London's Gatwick Airport - which I arrived at 6:50 a.m. on the 19th wondering what the hell just happened to Friday and why's the sun up so high - is it later than I think?  Didn't sleep well on the plane at all despite making a huge deal about packing sleeping pills.  (Never even used them.)  Thus began my own personal "Lost in Translation" experience where I spent the first day in a daze from lack of sleep and couldn't figure out why it was still so bright outside at 10 p.m., but adjusted semi quickly.  After that subsided, I felt robbed of my hours because I left my watch set on L.A. time.  Of course, that didn't help because I was getting really upset for no reason first thing every morning.  

The English are super nice and very courteous, even if they speak (what sounds to me) like a million miles a minute.  The French are not that rude if you converse as best you can in French ("Parlez Anglais?" works very well).  The Romans can be, but their gelati is still the best dessert I've ever had.

Saw lots of neat stuff in all the cities I visited, places I never in my life imagined I'd ever see.  With everything I did, it was like an out of body sort of feeling.  I couldn't ever shake it.  I mean, wow... Paris was great because I did like four or five museums in one day - sorry I didn't make it to the catacombs, but then I didn't make it to Musee Picasso either (grr...), and the Moulin Rouge was cool to see in person, Rome was kind of scary for me and the Vatican is amazing, but I learned so, so much about the European and English cultures.  

Amazing experience.  Just surreal.  

But for a week after I came back I could not stay awake past three p.m.... That was hard to break.

For me, waking up BEFORE three p.m. is hard.  Maybe I should move to Europe!
