Repost from Facebook – Re: National Health care Debate

August 17, 2009

I currently have extremely great health insurance. I’m lucky – but, even with what I have, there are problems.
Getting our “fantastic” insurance company to pay Lars’ hospital bills was like pulling teeth. 2 years later, we’re still trying to parse out what they should cover, failed to cover, refused to cover, the list goes on [...]

A quick one while he’s away

August 17, 2009

Only 4 days until my sweetheart is home.
I’m excited. Elated. Unbelievably ecstatic. I can’t believe both how quickly the time has flown (now that it’s almost over – I had a completely different take a month ago) and how slowly it’s dragged on.
One thing is certain – I would not have made it through this [...]

There’s no such thing – My 25(ish) top played songs on iTunes

August 13, 2009

It’s kind of an imperfect science, because I’m not sure if these are just plays on my laptop or if they include Mary Kate (iPod) and Peggy (iPhone) as well. Given that they sync – you’d think they would be, but….

I was IN LOVE with Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock and Bones.  I would pretend (and this is probably delving way too deeply into my psychology)  that I was Bones’ daughter, visiting the Enterprise and falling in a mad-sexy love triangle with Kirk [...]

This post is mostly for Melissa, but applies to all my font-nerd homies

I think I’m a little bit in love…..marksimonson.com
I mean, really…
The church bulletins are a bit problematic, partly because they are typeset (the ones I remember were mimeographed). Palatino (1950) existed, but didn’t really catch on in popularity in the U.S. until around 1970. And Snell Roundhand (1966) is definitely premature. This feels more like desktop [...]
