this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I was thinking of doing that, too! I have it open in another tab.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

That sounds like something I might need to sign up for too

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I have started making my handouts for class in either Helvetica or Arial, both of which must probably rival Times New Roman for both boring AND readability. But since readability is more important to me I really don't care.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I've got to stop making mistakes.

Dude. Achievable goals. That is not one.

Home from the company party. Didn't win anything in the raffles, meal was pretty good. I'm kind of weirdly peeved that my boss got an award - seems like she's being rewarded for prioritizing her direct reports below her projects. For all I know that's legitimately what went down, but as her sometimes neglected direct report it rankles. On the whole, meh.

But three-day weekend, so that's good.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Bev! I love Calibri!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Right? It just...looks right. The lower case g is the traditional typeface g, rather than the arial or helvetica g. It's not as round as other sans serifs, but it's not as skinny as arial, either. I just love it. It's easy to read, uncomplicated, simple.

I've got my custom CSS here set to it!

Scrivener is set to Courier, but that's because it's better for me for writing. All typewritery.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

My work email default is Calibri. It's a good, workhorse of a font.

I was at a museum exhibition last week where the display text was almost, but not quite Gil Sans. I have nothing against Gil Sans at all, but the display font was so close that I kept looking for those funky "p"s in the italic bits, and they weren't there. It was distracting.
