My day

7.15am: The three Ss – snooze, shower and straighten.

8.45am: Triple shot intravenous soya latte drip courtesy of Starbucks on 3rd Street Promenade.

10.02am: Get all kind of excited as it dawns on me it’s Entourage night tonight, when a bunch of friends get together to watch this HBO show. Take the show’s online “What Would Vince Do?” test to get me in the mood.

10.54am: Just downloaded the latest iPhone game from Barclays. It ties in well with the latest airing of its Waterslide campaign. The game called Waterslide Extreme involves steering a character down increasingly difficult waterslides, and the experience is just like the commercial. It’s good to see a top brand experience from a financial services company.

11.15am: Why am I always lunch-clock-watching from here until midday?

11.18am: Okay serious hunger pangs now. Find a couple of Haribo to take the edge off.

11.30am: Another three Ss: sushi, soup or a sarnie? Decisions, decisions…

Noon: Made it. Practically run to Japan-2-Go just off Wiltshire Boulevard.

2:00pm: Hold brainstorming session with New York and London PR agencies for latest video ad product launch. Can’t wait for the announcement!

3.45pm: Just received an invitation to an exclusive black tie LAN party (LAN, as in local area network; these parties are where people gather together to network and play on their computers). Do I do anything non-cyber anymore? (Said whilst poking my partner ’Mr Fit’ on Facebook and confirming a Banana Republic delivery).

4.15pm: Feel like an adult beverage ce soir. Visit www.thisdayinhistory.com to find a reason to celebrate. Thankfully Fleetwood Mac won a Grammy for their album Rumours in 1978. Phew.

5.22pm: My friend trumps my celebration by declaring it’s her blogaversary today. It’s been six months since her first confession.

6.28pm: Sky+ Remote Record Vince and his entourage and head off to meet my friends for some good old-fashioned offline fun.
