Fontfaggotry update.

I have found that the shirt mentioned here actually uses helvetica.

My memory of the traits inherent in the capital R’s of helvetica & arial was reversed. I knew the leg of R was noticeably different in arial; and I incorrectly assumed that it was curved like the arial Q.

I am sorry to have disappointed you tumblr.
You may rescind your likes if you wish.

Feelin' pretentious

I just finished a roll of film. It was fun.

The light meter was only noticed after I burned through the entire roll, so a smattering of underexposures is expected.

B.B. King - The Best Of B.B. King (1973) [MCAD-31040 1987 CD Release]
Why this rocks:
1.  It has a bad-ass picture of B.B. King.

This Compact Disc contains program transferred from analog tape and therefore may contain some tape hiss and other anomalies that exist with analog recordings.

2.  Tape hiss means it’s a direct direct analog transfer and the tracks weren’t run over with a de-noising steamroller that kills the rest of the recording.

This album was assembled and remastered at The Village Recorder, Los Angeles, by Ed Michel and Baker Bigsby, with the assistance of Kathryn King, Dominic Lumetta, Rob Fraboni, Ken Klinger, and Gil Fortis. Throughout, the tracks were recorded and mixed to have their most profound effect at maximum.

3.  “Most profound effect at maximum” means they fully used the dynamic range of a CD to more accurately reproduce the loud and quiet parts. It’s not a victim of the loudness war.
This is someone’s Christmas gift.

Thursday's Shop & Stroll at Nob Hill

It was cold; the middle schoolers were snogging to keep warm.

That is all.

What Tumblr hath wrought.

I just noticed one of my shirts uses Arial instead of Helvetica.

Now I can’t wear it in public.

Baked brie with fruit jam. (Discuss its punch to sound credible)

  • Pretend foodie: what's that?
  • me: baked brie with fruit
  • Pretend foodie: hmm..
  • y'know, I like the idea of fruit spread, and I like the idea of baked brie.
  • But together, it sort of loses the punch of the brie.
  • me: yeah...
  • Note to posers: Brie has no punch. Quality brie is so rich it's practically butter.
  • It's delicious.

Owl City

Just say no.

Say no to auto-tuned, high-pitched voice tracks “sung” by people who appear unsure of their sexual orientation.
Say no to bands named after popular hipster motifs.
Say no to angsty pop that makes baby jesus cry.

Girl Repellent, or, A Poem About Computers

My friends PC has a virus
With which he generously supplied us
Yet I remain calm
and let out a yawn
I use the OS made by Linus

Yesterday I went to see the twinkle-light parade.

A democratic candidate for probate judge, bearing the surname of Parks, tossed out candy cigarettes. (helpfully wrapped in a campaign sticker)

I have learned that pocky is served at fancy restaurants to cleanse your palate after a meal.

“The thing to remember is that nobody cares if you’re doing something by yourself, looking pathetic. 9 out of 10 of them won’t really notice you and 99 out of 100 of the ones who do won’t remember you tomorrow. Life isn’t high school where you see the same people every day. Unless you’re in high school, of course. Then you’re fucked.”

It's fun to laugh at climate change deniers, but then you meet them IRL; and cry.

  • complete_tool: ...and it's snowed more in the past few years, that's why I don't believe that stuff about global warming.
  • holier_than_thou: It's actually called climate change, it's been scientifically proven.
  • complete_tool: No it hasn't.
  • ***holier_than_thou facepalms

Yesterday I listened to Where The Wild Things Are on vinyl from '85.

I hope some hipsters explode with synthetic nostalgia.
