Words of Wisdom from Bobby Hill.

"Mom I'm fat. But big deal. I don't feel bad about it. You never made me feel bad about it, and just because there are some people in the world who want me to feel bad about it, doesn't mean I have to. So Bobby's fat. Eh. He's also funny, nice, he's got a lot of friends, a girlfriend, and if you don't mind, I think I'll go outside and squirt her with water. What are you gonna do?" - Bobby Hill

Just because.

The internet is just awash with Toby Ziegler goodness.

NEW YORK'S FINEST

Hugo Lindgren's post on the New York Times blog, The 6th Floor this week left me smiling.  Here he shares a list of "words we don't say" that former editor of New York Magazine, Kurt Andersen handed out to his staff.  Basically, these are words that Mr. Andersen found annoying and didn't want used in the magazine. Although some of it seems a little precious to me (maybe precious should be on the list?) I kind of love this blatant approach.  Besides, I can get behind anybody that annexes zeitgeist.

Read the full post, here.  Feel free to share the words you don't say in the comments.  Don't say "panties", nobody likes that word.

Other People's Stuff: words of wisdom from the interwebs

I have a thing for typography, It's all I can take not to fill all of my walls at home with it.  Seems to me, that with the rise of Tumblr, folks are creating lots of cool stuff on the fly.

I'm not on Tumblr.  I'm resisting.  Partly because, good grief, do I really need to be responsible for maintaining another corner of the internet? And partly because when I'm on Tumblr, I feel old.  Like, "everyone in this club is in their 2o's" old.  I don't like questioning my choice of foot wear.  I don't like saying things like "when did Ossington get so hip?" and that is, in a nutshell, why I am not on Tumblr.

Here are just a few neat-o things that I've come across in recent days that I've found inspiring and true in a creepy "get out of my brain" kind of way that I couldn't resist sharing.  Like the kids do when they "reblog" and whatnot.

Oh.  Feeling so old.  Anyway, enjoy!

I love this.  It looks so vintage and classic.  Thanks, www.ffffound.com
