Buffistas

Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

That which does not kill you should RUN

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.)

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

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!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

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.

SO many book covers. So many.

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.

Souvenir was used everywhere, and inevitably too small or too large for the font style.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I for certain have seen menorahs (menorahim?) at Good Will and such places. It's not like they're consecrated.
