You want to know the real reason I’m voting for Obama?
Because he uses Gotham in his campaign.
My vote will be swayed by typefaces.
To be honest, I’ve been obsessed with Gotham for way too many years. It is just truly beautiful.
One of these days I’m going to get … More
I would love to chat about politics but am trying to refrain from doing so (unsuccessfully apparently). The Republican ticket seems to be tanking any shred of credibility. Whether or not they get elected (and I fear they will be—and have felt that way for many months) I have a … More
So I’m just putting this out there in the ether. Because if one person reads it and is helped, I’ve done my good deed for the day.
I upgraded to the new iTunes 8 a week or so ago. And after I did, trying to download free episodes from the iTunes … More
Well I watched the Emmys tonight. What a suckfest. Dear lord.
However! Zeljko Ivanek got one for Damages. Yay! And he thanked Tom Fontana in his acceptance speech.
If I ever accept an award for anything, I think I might thank Tom Fontana. Just because.
Thoughts:
1. I’m watching Clear and Present Danger. I love this movie.
2. I used to have some incredibly beautiful scars running up and down my legs. A legacy of playground dust-ups childhood mayhem. I thought scars stuck around for life. But they’re all gone. The only ones I have left … More
Gram Parson died 35 years ago today. Strangely enough, I was watching Gimme Shelter last weekend, which my first exposure to Parsons.
When I was 12 my stepfather at the time sat me down and we watched the documentary. He was a lot more excited about explaining who the Flying … More
I went out to dinner with moms tonight. She was craving a burger so we went to some chain that was supposed to have good burgers. And they did. But that’s neither here nor there.
When we were done eating, we got up to leave and for some reason I stepped … More
Sunday Odds and/or Ends.
Dreary day today in the cities. I spent it working on a bunch of miscellany I wanted to get done before the week starts. I’m planning on focusing on one client for the entire week, and needed to make sure I wasn’t leaving any client tasks … More
Apparently today was Take Your Mother to the Grocery Store Day. I went to pick up a few things and there were about a dozen middle-aged women with their mothers in tow. So in every aisle there were these pairs of women shuffling along and trying to decide exactly what … More
Holy crap! Shhhh! You can not tell anyone about this. You have to pinky swear, okay?
I found some GIFs from my ex-employer online. Tell no one!
Eh, screw it. I don’t work there and they’re online. It’s not a crime. It is however… well:
It’s the … More
I just spent the last hour or so updating a site for a client who is an activist and is actually doing something to bring about change in the world. Unlike me.
Anyway he had some updates he needed done. And so I was going through this and just marveling at … More
Friggin’ Geek Squad. If there wasn’t a more poorly named bunch of maroons out there you’ve got me.
I went to take my recycling out and noticed the ladder and the truck outside my window. Which. Fine. Some apartment neighbor feels like hiring some dolts to install something? Be my guest.
Only … More
So I actually ended up going to the RNC yesterday.
It was a little trippy. I have never seen so many people in suits before. Or flippin’ flag-flavored outfits.
I was tempted to snatch a badge from one of the CNN guys wandering around, but thought better of it. Still, it … More
You know, in the beginning I thought “Hm. Big misstep choosing Palin.” Because I think it was.
And as a sidenote? Bristol. Willow. Piper. You fail at naming your kids. Yuck.
I digress. I first thought it was a misstep. Now I think it was distasterous. If that moron-and-a-half gets elected … More
So. Right. I get that Comcast is the Evil Empire. No, totally. I’m there. I get it.
But I am apparently the one person in the world who has never had an issue with them. If I knew nothing about their record I would tell you that they’re all a bunch … More
I was watching CNN and saw a clip from Sen. Obama talking to Anderson Cooper.
And I got it. I just got it.
Call it a moment of Zen.
Obama as president of the United States needs to happen. Really it just whacked me in the face. I mean, I was already … More
Bush appears to be on Spring Break. Every time I see him I get this “Dude. Being President ruled. But I’m not running again. So let’s party.”
It’s quite disconcerting.
I called complete bullshit on any stupid person that would claim that the RNC would be scaled back in St. Paul. Complete … More
