Look at me, a day late and a dollar short. Again.
Not much to share today. I've been overly thought-ridden this week, and the inner muse seems to be creaking into gear.Who knows? Maybe I'll be able to churn out some written material of the non-blog variety, if such a thing is even comprehensible anymore. I also the urge to have an antique typewriter and swathes of candles all over my desk. Heh.
I'll work on that last bit after my vacation, I think.
A belated (if not slightly underwhelming) top five list of: My Favorite Fonts (the, "How Times New Roman can suck it" edition)
1.) Verdana: It's just a nifty looking font to read, and it's the default setting at fanficiton.net.
2.) GFY OTEP: It's the font that the band Otep created. Since most of you don't know what that would look like, you can see it here. I just think it looks gnarly and badass, though I don't think I'll be using it for any cover letters anytime soon.
3.) Arial: Microsoft's answer to Helvetica, I think. If "zen" could be encompassed in a font, this would be it.
4.) AngryBlue: It's another one that you probably haven't heard of. I really wish my handwriting looked like the all CAPS version of this. (See it here.)
5.) Perpetua: It's cool like Papyrus, but without shadow of having been used in pretty much every tacky manner possible.
Don't think I was just grasping at straws for list ideas, by the way. Fonts happen to be something I'm oddly passionate about. I suppose as the literal written word becomes something of a novelty, and calligraphy spirals into ancient history, fonts remain as a reminder that the English language can have character beyond content. (Insert long drabble about art and it's various forms here. Include snobby glances and untenable jargon.)
Before I bid you all farewell, here's a Youtube video that I've had on replay for a good hour today. Don't ask me why, I know it's weird. O_o
