I'm wearing contacts. It's very weird. I basically spent the last 12 years forgetting what my face looks like and now -- poof! -- there it is.

Springtime Ritual Watch

Had the year's first taste of honeysuckle nectar today.

Also, my pea plants are flowering.

Your design geekery for the day: business cards. Maybe I should design some for Big Game, eh?

Nighttime. Lettin' the law roll off me like water. Cutting paper and singing along to Emmylou Harris in shorts and an old camisole. The Late Justice Potter Stewart is high up in a plastic plant, licking licking licking away.

This BBC article on the 50th anniversary of Helvetica is fairly informative, but by far the best part is the commentary at the bottom, a running snipefest among type snobs punctuated with lame (and yet, to me, curiously funny) pun-based jokes about typefaces.

This 75 Or Less review of a Damien Rice album makes me laugh and laugh:

"Damien Rice, you are a dude. Ergo, you have balls. It's too bad someone broke your heart, but did she take those too? You've become the guy who attends big parties only to stand in the corner going on and on and on (and on and on and on) about that girl you dated for all of seven months until she dumped you back in 2003 - the human party foul. Beautiful, somber music can be made without becoming a total d-bag (heard Leonard Cohen?), so get busy, you pussy."

It's ten o'clock. Do you know where your Mother's Day gift is?

Have you bought your mommy a present? Go! Get thee hence! I don't care what kind of anti-holiday, "it's all a conspiracy of Hallmark's" mope you are -- you have to at least weed the garden or take her to dinner or make a bunch of those handmade coupons that are "good for one free hug" or something. She's your mother, for god's sake.

Deep into tinyside and other-things production. Also going to try to send work out...bleh! In the meantime, can't...stop...listening...to Cat Empire's "In My Pocket."

I recommend it for all your Latin-infused frat parties.
