introspective...

Having saved lives the last few days, today being an especially long one, it is with much love that I greeted my pc tonite.

I thought I would put together the latest interview (finally), but I truly just needed to veg out. Instead, I found myself reading all nite - totally absorbed in this man and his writings - Danny Gregory, on Everyday Matters. I know that I glanced at his site from a link somewhere before, but I must not have been in a reading, or should I say, listening, mode. Tonite I definitley listened. And thought a lot of what he writes about... in fact, I wanted to comment on so many things, that I finally gave up bookmarking them.

I'm in love and in learn. Will definitely have to go back for more, since I'm only 1/8 through his archives (and that's saying a lot, since I rarely bother to go through archives, ya know?).

Besides that, I am now going to adhere to my curfew that I announced... ohhh... what, a couple of months ago? Lasted awhile, but I eventually started to drift back to the 2, 3, 4 a.m. hours. Oddly enough, I don't know how much I really got accomplished at that hour... besides, parallel to the later bedtimes, was later rise times, and that was starting to bug me. Not to mention the lack of ambition and energy.

So. It's off to bed I go, although a little past my curfew - but hey! quite early by comparison, yes? niteynite.

fontfontfont

Something that bears repeating... so many fonts, so many versions... as you probably know by now, I'm a font freak, and when shopping (usually on myfonts.com), I really, really need to remember to open another window with the STC font browser in front of me so that I can double-check the fonts that I already own (that font browser is the greatest thing since cottage cheese and salsa!).

There are so many fonts that resemble others, with slight variations, that I need to remind myself that I have fonts that look like what I may have in my shopping cart, that it's silly to pay for another version of this style of font (the one that I use on FMG) (ohhh, but that grasshopper font is such a good price!).

Speaking of... I see (and have been aware of) that my m.o. before I begin a new site, is to research potential new fonts and images for w-a-y too long of a time, and then wind up getting pissed at myself for wasting all that time, ya know?

or, procrastinating by talkin' to you guys... yup, it's an all-day-coffee kind o'day here in the Ink2Art offices...
