I'm getting angry and cranky at a bunch of stupid coworkers today.
Unfortunately, one of those coworkers is my boss.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Happy Birthday ChiKat!
This font article was linked to from here, right? I'm reading the comments, and it's a delight watching people get het up about something I don't give the slightest fuck about. It's really relaxing. Because they care. Oh, god, they CARE.
My rage about Papyrus is all out of proportion to its badness as a typeface. So I feel their waves of emotion about this earth-shattering matter. Oh, yes, I do.
(Except I like Souvenir font. Unironically.)

Oh, crap. I've got jury duty this afternoon and I forgot to bring my Kindle with me! I can read on my phone, but I'm afraid the battery will die... Bah!

ION, does anyone know where I can buy a very simple, inexpensive menorah? And the candles? Hanukkah falls over Xmas this year, and M will be with us, so we want to honor it.
(Although he's mainly reminded us SEVERAL TIMES that Hanukkah is this year and that means DAYS OF PRESENTS!!)

Souvenir. It's like I don't even know you.
In your defense, you probably weren't paying attention to fonts in the '70s and early '80s, when Souvenir was egregiously overused.

If you don't have a local Judaica shop (my impression of how common these are may be a weeeeee bit NYC-skewed), Amazon.
[eta: Also, my Mom buys me a cheap menorah almost every year through her synagogue's Hebrew school fundraiser, so that would be another option.]

Because books.

Souvenir. It's like I don't even know you.
It has a pleasing curve. I want to snuggle with it. (Except for the lower-case "b," which is too roly-poly.)

I definitely was not, unless it was on the cover of Duran Duran LPs.
