Thing I have Accomplished This Week - an Epic List:1. Dunked my toe in an open container of garlic butter. I can't explain how this happened without looking utterly deranged
( Read more... )
except if you painted it i'd probably start, idk, using random letters all the time and then telling people all about how my friend painted these amazing letters just for me and omg letters *__*
tbh I think letters are kind of *___* myself mostly because typography is such a mystery to me....
notions posted a helvetica vs arial quiz a while back and I seriously spent like an hour berating myself for not being able to tell the difference! I think I can usually tell the difference when I'm given a large body of text, just based on gut feeling, but the sheer attention to detail a typographer needs to have hfjghdkjfhgjdhfkjghjdfhjghdfhg...... IMPRESSED, VERY IMPRESSED
omg that's awesome. I have to pay attention to font a lot more lately because our clients keep writing in going "USE THIS FONT" and we're like wtf is that, and yesterday i had this giant discussion trying to convince the graphics editor that the font they wanted was Century stretched and elongated and ahahaha. I COULD SEE APPRECIATING FONTS, I DO THAT OFTEN. But, you know. letters.
I'm too lazy to go back into your post to find a relevant comment to comment to, but you know how sometimes you are reading lj and you click around on people's lj names and realize there are posts there you don't even remember seeing and then click on the links in those posts and then think to yourself, HEY WAIT A SECOND, HOW DID I MISS THIS, HOW HOW HOW
well.
it is partially epon's fault (but mostly yours) that I am downloading Death Note manically right now so that I can read this apparently epic fic that this stranger ningenfucker once wrote. MORE ON THIS LATER.

I'M PAINTING MY ROOM OKAY AND I HAD ORDERED PIZZA THE OTHER NIGHT AND I HAD SET THE PIZZA ON THE BOOKSHELF, WHICH I HAD MOVED ACROSS THE ROOM SO I COULD PAINT THE TRIM ON THE WINDOW. RIGHT? RIGHT.
OKAY, SO I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF DESCENDING THE STEPLADDER WHEN I REALIZED THAT - OH MY GOD THIS STORY IS TOO LONG ALREADY.
BASICALLY, I THOUGHT I'D PUT THE PIZZA BOX ON THE BOOKSHELF BUT WHAT I'D REALLY DONE WAS PUT THE PIZZA BOX *BY* THE BOOKSHELF, SO THEN I MOVED THE SHELF BUT NOT THE PIZZA, AND WHEN I DESCENDED FROM THE STEPLADDER I KIND OF OVERREACHED.
AND SORT OF. UH. DIPPED MY TOE IN THE OPEN CONTAINER OF GARLIC BUTTER AS I REALIZED MY MISTAKE.

I did like the story about her co-workers, though, even if it lacked pictures. Her boss sounds pretty adorable.

my boss is really zen like me, he's a sweetheart.

I just had this horrible vision of unwrapping your painting only to find the alphabet staring back at me.
