Happy Holidays to all, and a peaceful, joy-filled New Year. I’ll see you back in this space on January 7, 2008.
Tomorrow will be my last post for the year. One last “Friday Flickr Five” and it’s off for two weeks of revelry. Of course, my mind is already thinking about potential resolutions. (Sorry – I can’t help it. I think ahead.) But more of that in January. For today, I’d like to boldly suggest a [...]
We watched Helvetica on Sunday. Turns out, I knew almost nothing about the font, other than it turns 50 this year, and therefore found the film very interesting. (It’s everywhere! Who knew?)

…. but that doesn’t mean I’m not still doing it! In January, I’m planning to feature items in my personal “Hall of Fame”. Could be lipgloss, could be shampoo, could be shoes, could be stationery :) Right now, the focus is bottle reduction (once again) and I’m really, really trying to pare down the “stuff” [...]
