    Late night sledventure with friends; knowing that sledding is just as exciting now as it was when I was 7; falling over laughing and being so glad that my friends are my friends
    2 AM walks home in the snow
    Low-key New Year's with ginger ale, South Park, too many cookies, and cuddles
    Watching the history of musical theater on PBS. Judy Garland in Meet Me in St. Louis and Marilyn Monroe in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes? Fantastic way to spend an evening.

    I want to tell you guys about this, and this thread seemed OK, since this film makes me happy:

    There's a documentary film about a font!

    I saw this film a year or so ago at a AIGA event hosted by UC-DAAP graduate Michael Beirut, who said, "For graphic designers, this is like the feel-good movie of the year." He was so right - I'm not a graphic designer (at least not professionally), but I really loved this film, and I highly recommend it if you're interested in design, typefaces, or 20th-century visual culture.

    Excerpt: "We live in a media-saturated environment that exposes us to a daily stream of visual information, and the typography that shapes these visual messages can determine how we respond. HELVETICA, ostensibly a film about a typeface, delves into the world of graphic arts and takes a deeper look into style changes and the controversies over the role of graphic designer since World War II. Filmmaker Gary Hustwit explores urban spaces and the typefaces that inhabit them, speaking with renowned historians and designers about the choices and aesthetics behind the use of certain fonts."

    The film is airing in the next couple weeks on PBS stations nationwide. You can check your local listings from the web site above.

    I wish I could tell Damian about this. I know he would enjoy it.

    Adam offered me the gum in his mouth because I said it smelled good and he didn't have any more on him. And yes, he looked like a leprechaun jumping all over the place. Best night of '09 thus far.

    Sounds like something blush-worthy.

    -Craisins. Seriously.
    -coordinating a vegan kitchen on Fridays. Cutting up tons of potatoes is SO cathartic, believe you me.
    -Tank Girl. It took me a while to discover, but I finally caught on. And now that I've begun reading it (early comics, when they were still illustrated by Hewlett, who is one of the co-founders of Gorillaz. Often subversive and sometimes plot-less, but fantastic) it seems like EVERYONE knew about Tank Girl before me. Is this true?
    I'm totally going as her for next Halloween. I already have a friend going as Jet. We just need a Sub Girl and we're SET.

    Yeaaaah. I saw it and it's alright in its own way, but it is completely different than the comic. Maybe the main problem was that they actually tried to give it a plot, which is completely counter to the way the comics were written. Some would argue that a plotless movie might not have much potential, but to remain true to Tank Girl, it would need to remain disjointed and ridiculous (nor, technically, would it be a big-budget movie with the intention of making money. As Tank Girl is a punk poster girl of sorts, such a movie would need to be produced by the underground to have any semblance of legitimacy. [God, I sound like a snob]).

    This isn't to say I didn't like the movie; it actually wasn't half-bad. (Except for how they did Booga, WHAT THE HELL?) They kind of just rounded off the edges to make it appealing. The creators also apparently didn't consult either Jamie Hewlett or Alan Martin (the creators of Tank Girl) in making the movie much at all (this is, of course, according to Martin, who could be just trying to cover his ass now).


    Might I add: craisins are AWESOME. It is, by far, the superior dry fruit.
    Also: How are you doing? If you are still in need of distraction, I am more than willing to help.
