I know I'm obnoxious

It can only be annoying to hear this but, my job is so fun that Fridays don't have the sparkle they used to. Proof: garbage pickup is on Fridays and I remember to take the trash to the curb about once every four weeks.

I still love weekends though, because when I don't have time to do laundry no one has a good week, and because all four of the local animal shelters have adoption events on Saturdays. There's nothing like hitting those up back to back to back to back in a clean shirt.

What is your favorite day? Does it involve homeless dogs?

For the last couple days I have been doing less thinking


and more thinking LIKE THIS



And partly because it's not as easy to articulate these thoughts and mostly because I know no one else cares, I don't put them on this blog. But for the half a person who does care - today is your lucky day! Here are some places I post about design:



type to me is a collection of typography I like (I warned you this wouldn't be interesting)



a practical bestiary is where I post cool layouts



and whale sharks is advertising, design, and communication arts

I guess the takeaway point is, I like a lot of cool things, but I also like design things. And maybe you're thinking "but design is cool!" but most of my dreams lately are about Adobe Illustrator, and so far no one has been interested in hearing about them. Now I'm off to watch some more web coding tutorials.

Is it bad that 8th Continent's new packaging is so cute that I've almost bought it about 20 times? I don't even know what soymilk tastes like. But to look at these I imagine it tastes like frosting.
