In the kitchen, cookin up some marvelous ish
Sara, Jordan, and I are baking typography cookies. Some of the cookies are sans serif, while others have slab serifs. Some of our cookies contain text slang like "lol", "WTF?" and "k : )" They are most delicious. I can't believe tomorrow is the last day of typography. The semester has gone by in a flash. I have learned so much in typography, more than I ever imagined, and I worked really hard. I feel like I finally understand typography. I used to get so frustrated in the class because I felt like I was didn't know what I was doing, especially when I would compare myself to others. I would just let myself get overwhelmed. Finally I just let it all go and stopped worrying about what other people were doing. Now I enjoy going to class and I wish that I could have more time just to dedicate to typography. Hopefully next year I can take advanced typography. I have definitely come to better appreciate the letter form and type.
Goldfish Gill(fish)
I love goldfish crackers. They're so tasty and delightfully salty. When I was reading the back of the bag I suddenly got excited. I thought to myself "the pissed of fish in the story is named Gill and it looks almost like the typeface they used for some of the packaging is Gill Sans!" I wish I could say that this is Gill Sans, but the "l"s, the "y"s and the question mark "?" are definitely different.

Live, from Emma's Coffeehouse
As you can kinda see from my crappy photobooth picture, its cloudy outside, and apparently 52 degrees according to this screen that I'm watching inside Emma's. I came here to study, but I love sitting in here and people watching. I want to live on this part of Hayes. There are all these cute little shops, and there is a laundromat next door. Its busy, but quiet at the same time.
The corner store, the barber, the bicycle shop, the cleaners, all locally owned.
A majority of the storefront signs are hand painted, which gives a personal touch that I appreciate.
Yeah, the weather channel lied. Its not 52 degrees out, its kind of bloody freezing. I just ran outside in my little cardigan to take pictures, all for the sake of Vitamin Art. I have such dedication.
