19:15:39: I alphabetized all the books in my office. Yay me.

A Journey Round My Skull.

Sun, 05 Jul 2009 16:57:50 GMT

A Journey Round My Skull is my favorite recently discovered book blog. I've been following it in Google Reader for a while now, and I find myself sharing every post. For as long as I've been reading it, it's focused on an ongoing series of "forgotten illustrators" from around the world, such as Czech artist Jiri Trnka:

Jiri Trnka, illus. for Andersen's Fairy Tales, 1959

and Spanish comic artist Salvador Bartolozzi, who did a series inspired by Collodi's Pinocchio in the 1920's:

I promise that there is nothing in the internet more worthy of your attention right now, so go check it out.

11:58:02: Daisy is absolutely terrified of stepping on metal grates in the sidewalk. If she can't go around, she won't go at all.

So, the generic brand of everything at the supermarket (the only stuff we can afford right now) is called "No Name," which means that all our food comes in packages that say "Sans Nom," which I keep reading as "Without NOM"—which is the last thing you want your food to be.

In other news, I spent a full hour on the phone yesterday with AT&T—correction: with NINE DIFFERENT REPRESENTATIVES of AT&T, from who knows how many countries—trying to cancel my service with them so I can sign up with the iPhone provider up here (Rogers). 24 hours later, I have no phone service at all because I can't figure out with my meager, amateur hacking skills how to unlock my iPhone so that it will work with a non-AT&T SIM card, and I refuse to pay someone else to do it because it blows my mind that neither AT&T nor Apple offers this service so that someone may legally move to Canada and continue to use their product. Seriously, Apple, you are on my list today.

Whither Twitter?

Incidentally, Loudtwitter, the service I was using to feed tweets to LJ, died a few days ago—hence the lack of daily trivia. But I just signed up with Twittinesis, so we'll see what happens in the next 24 hours.

Proust: The Interview.

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 16:50:48 GMT

I absolutely love MTAA (M.River & T.Whid Art Associates)'s "The Interview (AKA Proust Questionnaire)":

Watch "The Interview"

Conversation had some time in the last few weeks:

D: Baby, you know the phrase is "I want to go to there."
Me: I thought it was "I want to go there."
D: I know; I've seen you use that online a few times. It's "I want to go to there." That's why it's funny.
Me: Liz Lemon doesn't say, "I want to go there"?
D: No. "I want to go to there." You've been misusing a current catch-phrase.
Me: Because I'm old.
D: Yes, but it's okay.
