i feel as though the new decemberists cd sounds like an opera or something. all of the songs run into each other and there's a similar sound in each and every one. not sure if it's bad or good. not going to share songs until i've listened to it completely and have more to say on the subject.

i've been speeding through mansfield park much eagerly than i had anticipated. fanny certainly isn't my favorite of jane austen heroines, but there's something about her i'm consistently rooting for. loving it.

i am so in love with this typeface. archer was created by hoefler & frere-jones (of course...brilliant artists/designers they are) for...get this...martha stewart living. anyway, it's a gorgeous interpretation of a slab serif and comes in so many pretty, fanciful, always useful weights. i desire it.

i kind of love martha too and all of her crazy.

saw joe duffy speak at massart on thursday. i'm trying very hard to decide if it was worth the horrendous commute home. i mean don't get me wrong, i adore his work and learned a lot from his process (or rather...non process), but was it worth two hours in a train that ended up getting stuck one stop away from mine? did i mention the two jabbering small children who kept testing their limits until one finally fell and started screaming? well...i did realize he has the coolest workspace ever. they're literally in ruins of a flour mill in downtown minneapolis. it convinced me that i must go to minneapolis and make my fortune.
that's all for this evening methinks. heading back to cincinnati come saturday, the 21st. in the meantime, i think i'm going to drink a few beers tonight and listen to some music at toad. peace out, kids.
