Cuter Than You

yes, i am trying out yet another style for the blog. i can’t seem to figure out what i really want, so please bear with me as i continue to change. have you seen these fonts from Divide By Zero? it doesn’t get much cuter than this.

it makes me want to get my own fonts together, or at least some fun little clipart for people to use. but then again, i need to stay focused on the home purchase. it’s frightening the pants off me to say the least. i’ll just try to think happy thoughts. i’ll think about the CDs that i’m going to buy tomorrow when we take the plunge and sell a stack of duplicates we have. i told Mark we couldn’t sell them until we were married just in case. it may sound faithless, but it’s not. i am just that attached to some of these CDs. i feel a bit like a traitor or as if it’s a crime to be getting rid of some of these. My Bloody Valentine Loveless might have to be pried out of my fingers. i will just keep repeating … we already have these … we already have these. why do my posts always end up being about music?

well, as long as we are on the subject. my friend Brian over at Creem Magazine has just informed me that the site has been updated. he’s also asked me if i want to review a new book about black metal that he received and i agreed. it sounded like fun! he also e-mailed me the latest lineup for the Coachella Festival. we are sadly most likely going to miss this because of other committments (see also: aforementioned housebuying). the lineup goes something like this:
