A reader came to the website recently, looking for information — according to the search string Google passed — on “Coldplay Fonts.” Coldplay uses Albertus MT for their logo typeface. COLDPLAY. See? (Assuming, of course, that you have Albertus MT installed on your machine. As I do.) No, I don’t have a font problem. IContinue reading “On Coldplay Fonts”

On a Round-Up of My Day
I had a migraine today. Lodged, as they do, right about the left eye. The thing that made this migraine particularly nasty? I was sure my vision was dimming, if I were going completely blind, in that left eye. No, I’d close my right eyelids and I could still see out of the left eye,Continue reading “On a Round-Up of My Day”
On Future Thinking
A quick warning. This post may strike some readers as being potentially morbid. I saw a car accident Tuesday evening. I’m not entirely clear what happened–I caught it in the rearview mirror while I was at a convenience store. A mid-sized car, an SUV, airbags deployed on both vehicles. When I passed back through theContinue reading “On Future Thinking”
On Strange Weather
Yesterday the temperature in Charm City broke eighty. But there was something odd in the five-day forecast. Snow. This morning when I left for work it was quite warm, low 60s. At lunch time I wanted to see what the weather was like and walk the neighborhood a little, so I walked down O’Donnell StreetContinue reading “On Strange Weather”
On Dollar Coins
Yesterday in change I received one of the new Presidential Dollar Coins. I’m not sure why I got it back in change, as I think the register clerk was confused about what it was. I didn’t realize until much later that I even had it when I was fishing around in my pocket and tryingContinue reading “On Dollar Coins”
On 3am Musings
It’s 3 in the morning. I have indigestion. It’s dinner, I can tell. The world’s very quiet at three. Despite what my grandmother may say — there are no monster tractor trailers coming down the road to be weighed. There’s no place to weigh them. Snow fell yesterday. Not much, not the two to fourContinue reading “On 3am Musings”
On Rejection
Out of two hundred-plus resumes I’ve submitted, I have received all of two formal rejections. The vast majority of resumes and cover letters, unfortunately, go unanswered. The second rejection letter came today. I’d applied six weeks ago for a position with Daedalus Books to manage their outlet store in Columbia, Maryland. Though I wasn’t anxiousContinue reading “On Rejection”
On Snow!
Snow fell last night. About an inch, maybe an inch and a half. The world looks pretty. The yard has that flat, white look that it gets when everything’s under a layer of snow. The road’s already clear.
On Revisiting a Previous Post
That potentially good news I mentioned. Yeah, didn’t come through. Quite frankly, I have no fucking clue what’s going on. And in other news. My bitchin’ computer speakers? Yeah, one died. Not quite as bitchin’ any more.
On Potentially Good News
Friday afternoon I moved into a new cubicle at work. I’d spent the past few months at a kind of walled off desk with barely enough room from myself, my CPU unit, my monitor, keyboard, and mouse. My phone? I didn’t really need it — who would call me? — so it was shoved behindContinue reading “On Potentially Good News”
