What the fuuuuck, I just saw a COMMERCIAL FOR SCIENTOLOGY.
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

For the typography fiends amongst us Victorian Typography.
Bonus points if you can name the Type used (almost solely) by filmmaker Wes Anderson.

Maybe you weren't paying attention when they were blathering about Dianetics, and - as bon notes - showing off a volcano for extremely mysterious (space clams!) reasons.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I don't think I've ever seen a Scientology commercial.

I was going to say I haven't either, but I've totally seen a million Dianetics commericials.

Oh! Those Victorian fonts are delish.
I spent my day mostly consumed with programming the project due Thursday, making very little progress until the evening, when the problem (getting a Google geolocation service that would derive a zipcode from a lat/long value to work) finally fell into place, both conceptually and actually.
Needless to say, much of the rest of my life (getting a job, etc.,) has fallen by the wayside.
