put it in your pantry with your cupcakes

i would write this in times new roman if i was a decent person. but i'm not.

anyways, the other day i suddenly thought of the question "who invented times new roman font? was there just one guy that made it up?" apparently there is such a man. and his name is stanley morison. the font was first used in 1932. he also worked for a paper called the pelican press (a lovely name for a newspaper). If for some odd reason this topic is fascinating to you, feel free to read the book On Type Designs Past and Present: A Brief Introduction. Or perhaps The Typographic Book, 1450-1935: A Study of Fine Typography Through Five Centuries.

and here's to you, stanley morison
Jesus loves you more than you will know.

i've also been thinking about language lately. so of course, i consulted my good friend wikipedia. because of the english and spanish i know, i can communicate with approximately two billion people. that's a lot of people. a third of the entire world population. i suppose i know how to say things like "hello," and "you are purple" to a few more million people. but that hardly counts. there's not really a point to this at all. it just struck me as amazing that i could have a conversation with that many people.
