Me and my fancy pants are so elitist Jonathan Coulton named them.

Were you in the fancy pants parade?

People are starting to come to town and show up at Matt's house. Every new person makes me cry.

Caitlin wins the internets.

Well, that is just downright brilliant. I wonder what other foods you could deconstruct and give like that?

Where did you get those gorgeous clear boxes?

I want your handwriting.

Have you ever considered how strange it is that handwriting fonts have come to convey a kind of folksy authenticity in the design lexicon of our age? It’s disingenuous. Handwriting fonts - especially the ones you see everywhere (Comic Sans, Papyrus, Lucida Handwriting) - are mechanically reproduced and manipulated into a kind of cloying, fake, plastic perfection.

Penmanship is mostly a lost art - it is (rightfully) taught less and less in school, and the opportunities for people to see your handwriting are few and far between. As a result, modern handwriting looks really cool. What’s authentic and charming and inviting about real handwriting are the little imperfections that prove it came from a real person.

SO - I have decided to become a collector of handwriting.

Here’s how it works:

You reblog this or email/Facebook me

I’ll arrange for you to pick up a template

You’ll fill it out

I will create a TrueType font from your handwriting and send it to you

As I collect handwriting, I will periodically post things rendered in the handwriting of the donor - things they have taught me, important aspects of our relationship, jokes they have told me… we’ll see.

Please donate today.

You may have my handwriting, sir.

I would like to send you my handwriting. :)

Dude, I would be BEYOND EXCITED to have a font of my handwriting

Ok, you guys, shut up. Don’t fricking wake her up.

The moment this popped up on my dash, Pippa woke up. DAMN YOU!

I don't know whether to laugh, be proud, or fall down weeping.

Kaylee: I love my family.
LP: We love you too. Who is in your family, do you know?
K: Yes.
LP: Mommy, Daddy, Pippa - who else?
K: No! Mommy, Daddy, Pippa are not my family!
LP: What?
K (clutching a book to her chest): Books. Books are my family.

I, personally, think Bombay Sapphire makes disgusting martinis.

It’s too citrusy for the Vermouth.

Makes good gin tonics, though.

I need it for making Greyhounds with.

Adrianne Curry’s idea of a perfect Sunday is to play World of Warcraft naked while getting stoned | HuffPo

That first comment is really upsetting, like anybody that plays a Night Elf could be described as “PERFECT!”.

She plays a night elf? HAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAAHA

HAAHFDHH34R2342H44H4HAAHAHAHAHAHAAHA

lenorebeadsman:

Oh yeah the point of that last post was: i can use all day tomorrow to slow cook pork with lime and onions. I’ll be serving it with black beans, fried bananas, and coconut rice pudding for dessert.

THIS IS VERY EXCITING.

Yeah, that sounds amazing.

lenorebeadsman:

Hey, LP and WBB. You talking about me? The name’s Gluryo Stinnerman.

YES! That would be the one. It cracked me up because she was there then there was a very VERY random conversation about feminists and lesbians and the intersection thereof, then back to the regularly scheduled storyline.

Not that I have any beef with said conversation, it just was kinda stuck in there. Like, “hey! We have GS! Lets give her a conversation!”

once again Kaylee is an insomniac.

Somebody should tell her that stealth is not going pitter patter down the hallway while yelling, “I’m hiding! I’m hiding!”

Oh my god, Gloria Steinem is on the L word

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 22:43:31 -0500

I love her.

Also I was just planning the logistics of my drive to Toledo on Friday morning

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 15:56:19 -0500

and I was trying to look on the bright side of everything, namely all the wonderful people I will get to see.

Then I thought, “Hey! Linda will get to meet Pippa finally! And I don’t think she’s seen Kaylee since my grandfather’s funeral.”

And then I realized I was an idiot and had to leave the reference desk to go be sad.

What’s up? I have hardly been here for days and now one of the first posts on my dash is the post I made around noon today? How is that right?

Anyway - I thought I’d make some time to say hi, but apparently I can’t. Hi?
