Oh my. December 7. It’s been awhile.

I think the main reason is because, for whatever reason, the font this thing defaults to is some monospaced font. And while I have the utmost respect for monospaced fonts (Courier is sadly under-appreciated) it’s not exactly a joy to use in this context.

Never underestimate the power of fonts. To this day I remain convinced that I got higher grades on college papers because I typed them in fonts that went with the theme of the paper. And a thorough understanding and control over leading and kerning never hurts.

But you don’t care about fonts and leading, do you? Or do you?

We’re in that nebulous region of the holidays. After Christmas (if you’re into that sort of thing) and before the New Year. I never know quite what to do with myself.

I’m still doing holiday-y things. Like sending out cards. They’re New Year cards so technically I’m going to argue that I can get away with it. But it still feels sort of late. Hopefully I’ll get lucky and make some people feel crappy that they didn’t have me on their list when they sent out their holiday cards.

I live in hope.
