“I had a dream that I met and chatted with Jake from JakeandAmir.com for an extended amount of time … he said his ultimate goal is to work as the editor of some fishing magazine and he’s hoping CollegeHumor.com will be a stepping stone for him. Then I gave him my number and the alarm went off.”

Handwritten Typographers »

“The handwriting of typographers intrigues me because it raises so many questions, big and small: Do typographers exert some extraordinary control of the pen that laypersons don’t? Does a typographer’s handwriting influence the typefaces they produce? Has the rise of digital communications made handwriting redundant? Do modern typographers, born of digital tools, lack the finesse of their more wizened counterparts? If so, does that change the way their type is designed?”

I'm Ready

meera:

The only times I have ever felt ready are the moments I realize that I can spend my whole life prepping and practicing and still not know everything.

Now is one of those times. I have done what I can. I think know I am ready now. Medical College Admissions Test, you will be pwn3d.

Meera, darling, best of luck tomorrow and lots of love always!

Regina Spektor, could I possibly love you more?

“I should peddle butterflies — there’s a shortage in the city
I’ll stand on the street corner, all mysterious and giddy
When the passersby pass by, I will open up my trenchcoat
They will see the butterflies dangling like fake Rolexes
Every morning I’ll wake up with a purpose and a smirk
I’ll put on my fake moustache
I’ll drink Heineken, eat cornflakes…”

This is from the day before I left.  Emily and I hiked out to Trois Bassins and went around exploring hidden pools and waterfalls and tunnels and all manner of beautiful things.  I threw this together in various airports on the way home; it reminds me of one of the best days I spent on the island.
