OK GUYS, LISTEN UP.

I’M SERIOUS, IF YOU DON’T GO TO BED NOW SANTA WON’T COME.

HE CAN ONLY VISIT IF YOU’RE ASLEEP; NOW GIT!

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.

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.

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.

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

I hope some hipsters explode with synthetic nostalgia.

An aspiring social media marketer.

“Another name commonly used for this garment is the “bro”. This appears to be a play on words that draws on its roots in romance languages, where the suffix “a” refers to a feminine object and “o” to a male object. It’s also possible that the nickname “bro” came from the word used to refer to other males in camaraderie (or in reference to one’s brother).”

Progression of Halloween costume ideas

For Halloween I don’t want to be a generic pirate or ghoul, I want to be a bit more meaningful.

I considered being a societal villain. Maybe a CEO with an actual parachute painted gold. But alas, my favorite parachute supplier didn’t have any.

A biking freak in the requisite spandex? A hipster or other pretentious person? Nah, both took too much work; and I really didn’t feel like shaving my legs.

Then my thoughts became obtuse; a dull suit or entirely blank white wardrobe symbolizing America’s lack of creativity. (a crude reflection of how uncreative I was feeling then)

The horrors continued as thoughts of an experimental or concept costume were entertained. Would I create a powerful costume while using only X elements of disguise?

No.

All my lofty ideas were either awful or unattainable. So I regressed.

I might be Cyrano de Bergerac with a 2 foot piece of ornamental grass as a feather; or a wizard whose staff carries a microwaved Beatles CD I found in the street this week.

Or I could just be a ghost; ironically.

Upon reading that Tumblr will soon have an easy backup feature.

  • me: that makes me so happy, I want to hug Marco right now
  • sadtomato: sort of like bengold?

Hey kids, it’s time for old, 2 hour long Arabian comedy with muppet song intro day!

Watch for the girls playing basketball in short shorts at 58 minutes in and the catchy dance number at 63 minutes.
