Too Few Fonts!

Watched two awful disaster things last (let's see if it works), changing fonts, I mean. Oh, kewl: Courier! Used to have an old typewriter with Courier on it, only you couldn't change fonts, because they were built with set keys, one for each of two characters, which were chosen by a shift key which literally raised the key higher, so that it would strike an inked ribbon that scrolled past, leaving a character upon a piece of white paper. If you needed copies, you used carbon paper, and hit the keys a lot harder. That was a way to make a good impression.

Now I'm learning Bluetooth: go figure.

Oh, Gawd that felt good! I was tired of reminiscing over Courier. After all, I have been friends of a lot of fonts. I really have to thank Tal and Dave for that. I wish Garaband were availible: I love to write in Garaband: even the Italics look good.


There are a bunch of straight kids partying in the courtyard to the East. They are drunk and shouting and breaking things.

Pakistan's stern warning to the United States after our last incursion their territory is for internal use only. A lot of nations (including this one) make public statements for home consumption, with deals uder the table to do things which are otherwise, impossible. The words 'honesty' and 'politics' have only passing association. Pakistan is only too willing to have US military forces clean up paramilitary groups within their borders, as long as the people of Pakistan are aware that every effort is being taken to keep infidels off of their soil. Go figure.

I guess they went somewhere else to party. It is quiet now. Finals are over this week-end and the neighbuorhood will be very quiet, as students return to their families for the holidays. Meant to write more, but I.am tired. Going to warch the end of this movie with Kevin Spacey in it and crash. Wash day is tomorrow,
