    This is my mental image of Mr. Truant.

    It fits him, don't you think?

    The Cato institute email newsletters are poorly formatted.

    There's a joke in there somewhere, but I can't quite articulate it, so I'll just say that poorly-formatted emails are a pet peeve of mine and when I worked in marketing I always double-checked my promotional emails before I sent them.

    I've been thinking of avie-ing it for a while.
  • Do it, he looks so happy and triumphant.
  • Batman for the British. :3
  • So I think I like Muse now

    Does this make me more or less hipster

    One of the few things that I know about Fifty Shades is that their covers use Archer


    You needed to know this
    Bizarrely, I've seen some editions that use American Typewriter instead:

    ...I don't know why there are two different ones. I'm thinking perhaps one's the hardcover and the other's the paperback?

    A local grocery store also had a video store inside it for some reason. It's going out of business and as a result I got a shiny new copy of Tatsunoku vs. Capcom.

    My first thought, in my typical point-missing fashion, was "what was the grocery store?"

    Back in the '90s the Kroger stores around here used to have video stores in them. I have a weirdly distinct memory of one having a stupidly huge number of Friday the Thirteenth movies.

    I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    I like American Typewriter (though I have a feeling that I'm not supposed to) but it lacks Archer's modern sleekness (although Archer's signature ball terminals are lifted from the typewriter typeface aesthetic).

    Well it's not overused, is it?  I know jack shit about fonts, but I'd think that ubiquity is what kills a font the quickest. 
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    Ubiquity tends to be a point against it, in the type community.

    I don't think American Typewriter is considered such, though (it hit its highest popularity about 30 years ago, I think).

    Published NSFW Twilight Fanfiction:  Ugh!

    Why must this stuff exist?!!  It's horrible, atrocious, icky, obscene, degrading, and worst of all pornographic.

    If you cannot understand why this travesty is worth getting upset over, I cannot explain it to you.
  • edited 2012-10-12 19:06:43

    no! not pornographic!

    it burnsssssssssssssss

    I personally tend to associate American Typewriter with COSI, a science museum here in Columbus that used the typeface extensively from 1992 to 1999, so it has sort of a "friendly" and "inviting" feel to me.

    It also accompanied what was probably their worst logo--much too busy, especially compared to the current one.
  • Before it like exploded in popularity my mom asked me to get it on the iPad for her but I didn't do it at first because its subject matter made me wonder if she wanted the right book.

    The ensuing conversation was very awkward.

    Because there's other things in this world that people need to be angry about. Like this:




  • you know, obnoxious pseudo-hipsters have come pretty close to ruining Burial for me. i mean, normally i can put up with them, but it seems like the dude's fanbase consists almost entirely of p4ktards who constantly whine about how the trve dubstep they listen to is the greatest
  • it gets really grating
  • well, considering I'm just a pseudo-hipster (note the lack of a "obnoxious") I guess I don't have to worry about it.

    besides, I haven't checked Burial out yet. Might need to change that.

    Somehow it's weird to me that despite the whole "it's fanfiction with the names changed" thing being public knowledge, Random House's legal department allowed the thing to be published. Because if you change a character's name, it becomes a completely new and original character, amirite?

    Let's convince AuroraDawn to publish a novel of Rainbow Factory with Rainbow Dash's name changed to Spectricia and Scootaloo's changed to James. It'll be the next big sensation!

    These make me wish we got Domino's more. Dayum.
  • burial is pretty good. it's kinda weird, his tunes all sound the same, but like every one stands out somehow. it's like a fog of vague wistful melancholy and inner city urban decay put to a shuffling stuttering 2-step beat.


    the Kindred EP and the Untrue LP are essential, don't bother with the rest unless you feel you need to.

    Having the logo in color there seems stupid, if only because it means they have to pay to run the box in full color instead of just black and white. Is it worth it for those little squares?

    The box design itself is quite nice, though.
  • Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
    Wasn't the Harry Potter fanfiction that "Draco in Leather Pants" is named after made into a published book series too?

    It feels weird that I remember that years after it stopped being relevant in the slightest.

  • addendum: The track "Fostercare" is good, and the stuff he did with Massive Attack is phenomenal


    you'll have to content yourself with youtube rips of the massive attack collab tho, it only came out on a limited run vinyl.

    The plight of that girl is of infinitely more importance than the abominable book.  Seriously, how much extra food is there that we just throw away uneaten?  How can we let people starve like that when we could stop it by giving food?  We have been given much, so we must give.  I am so blessed to have a bed and clean water.

    How can this happen?  How can there be poverty and famine in a world where there are people blessed enough to have homes, to have extra, to have more than what they need?  How can there be enough resources that people can afford to waste them but not enough resources for the poor?

    Is there any way that I can help change things for the better?
  • I like how, given the way the name on the cover is written. It appears to be "El James".

    You seem pretty lighthearted to me, Imi/Jumpy.

    I probably come across as more lighthearted on here for two reasons:

    1. HH is generally a nicer place than real life
    2. You can't see my facial expressions/body language

    Because there is basically a caste system inside of North Korea. At the very top is the military, where 25% of their annual GDP goes. Second are the top Communist party members, and they get the lion's share of the food. Then it goes on down. 

    At the bottom are the people who offended their Communist Party (by being pre-war landowners, relatives of pre-war landowners, attempting to escape/defect, among many other things) and they have to get by any way they can. Including eating grass.

    North Korea receives aide from all over the world (including from the United States) but once we deliver it to them, we can't make sure it goes to the starving masses. Even China has extreme difficulties in getting them to do the reasonable thing.

    That finally came out? I know it was in limbo for awhile and in the meantime I just sorta stopped paying attention to Burial.

    But yeah, Burial's probably the only dubstep artist I'm at all into, most of the other stuff I can take or leave.

    for purposes of facial expressions and body language please refer to rocky rickaby, but more depressive like.
  • My facial expressions are uh.

    ....

    well

    I lack social skills.

    We will leave it at that.

    Man, I can't even read facial expressions... :\

    and yes i'm aware of the irony of using an emoticon at the end of that sentence
  • i have learned facial expressions but it has been hard work and still is

    I went through a zoo exhibit close to where I live and there was the cage with these smaller monkeys in them, and after staring at them for a bit one of them flashed me the world's biggest shit-eating grin

    which, of course, is not friendly in the least. Few things give me the creeps in this world but that monkey smiling is one of them

    life sure does goes fast whether you look at it or not

  • I find it weird that for almost every other mammal, smiling is shorthand for "fuck off, bitch", but for us it's friendly somehow.
