I am wanting to blog here today with an exotic font, and I could, but I would probably be the only one who could see it. Unless you have "Ragamuffin" font installed on your computer too. Anyone have this font?
How can we overcome this harshly imposed limitation on our sense of whimsy?
Any suggestions from the Geeks among us?
I am gearing up to do a shopping foray today. I reached the end of a writing tablet here at home, and need a new one. I have for some truly inexplicable reason, been lusting after a Goldenrod school tablet. The dull yellow colored ones I remember from first grade. The ones that have little slivers of wood still showing they are so unrefined and cheap. I even looked on the internet to see what stores might be carrying them, but came up empty handed.
It will be just my luck that I have started to lust after something that is no longer in production.
Just my luck.
We shall see in the coming hours if I can locate one.
There is some mysterious, deep, as yet to be identified area in my brain that is picking up on Autumn signals. I think it is the same part of the brain that our friends from the land down under are tuning into that whispers, "Spring" to them. I will never get used to the idea that our worlds are so opposite. The Earth seems a much smaller place these days, and it can't be possible that it's big enough to have room for such a paradigm shift every season. I just don't get it.
Maybe that Autumn signal is the one that is prompting me to find the Goldenrod tablet. I will however forgo the first grade pencil that goes with it that is, as Bill Cosby was wont to say, "As big as a horse's leg." I might buy a new pen though. Something ball point and retro. Or a new box of Dixon Ticonderoga #2 1/2 pencils.
Oh wait, gotta check something. Nope. Can't do it. My old box of pencils still has 4 never been sharpened ones left in it. It would be just too compulsive an act to get a new one just yet.
I search for these rudimentary writing supplies in the vain hope that their humble attributes will inspire me to write something worth reading. Perhaps if one composes on foolscap, the words will have to take on more weight because they cannot rely on creamy smooth, lined paper in a purple bound journal that cost way too much money to confer upon them any level of importance. On foolscap, you better be good, because the result is going to look pretty crappy.
Kinda like this entry eh?
