If only I had 80 more hours in my day to sit here and read this blog cover-to-cover. Enjoy!

You're Just My Type

Thanks to Mattie for this via Love Your Quotes via Thrilld.com via Maybe Just Not.

I love the original heading for this:

"Putting things in perspective of the day: At least it's not this"

Ampersand Foil Shirt

This should really be titled "all I want for Christmukah".

From Inskie, the product website:

"The ampersand tee was created by Colorcubic, a multidisciplinary design studio in Portland, Oregon. Inspired by typography, it incorporates Inksie's four brand icons in the shape of Herb Lubalin's famed ampersand."

You can purchase the ampersand tee from Inksie here.
 
(Thank you to Sandy for this!)

P.S. I want this, too. -->

Word of the Day: Desultory

Desultory, adj.

- lacking in consistency, constancy, or visible order; disconnected; fitful
- digressing from or unconnected with the main subject; random
- passing or jumping from one thing to another, especially in a fitful way; unmethodical
- occurring in a random or incidental way; haphazard

My favorite part about these definitions? How they all begin with at least a seven-word definition, followed by a semi-colon, then a one-word definition. Why not just use the one word and be done with it?

Word of the Day: Fug

Legit, non-slang word here!

Fug, n.

1. Stale air, especially the humid, warm, ill-smelling air of a crowded room
2. Hot or suffocating atmosphere
