1. The older I get the more acceptable Times New Roman becomes.

2. I've an unexplained compulsion to ride the elevator to the top of the Tube station but walk up the last ten steps.

3. The Princess Bride's 20th anniversary DVD cover is genius. Like the movie

Hey. I've noticed the same thing. What's that about?????

Less interest in being seen to be cool?

I used to like Comic Sans and now it annoys me.

There are whole articles within the graphic design community about how wrong Comic Sans is. It's actually an in-joke.

Times roman. Please. It's not about cool, it's about style. There are so many more stylish yet basic serif fonts to use. I baffle at the use of Times. Like, live a little design people.

Me too. How interesting.

The typography on the Princess Bride is amazing.

Love the new user pic. LOVE it.

Thank you. I want to take a few more photos and swap out the whole set. Themes will be: No; Party; Sex; Happy; and another undecided icon (it used to be travel but I don't use it enough).

If the Princess Bride DVD was just the typography, I would have posted about it. That it has such cool pictures too, just makes me happier.

1. Either I'm not old enough or you are going nuts.

3. YES! Isn't it great. (and still one of the best movies ever!)

4. Brilliant, yes. I think I should borrow it. :)

5. I have never had fondue. It sounds fantastic.

1. I suppose I'm moving from "abject hate" to "*shrug*".

5. Dipping anything in cheese is usually a good idea but not in the quantities I was consuming it. I felt ill and I felt the smell permeating through my outside coat.
