Friday Muxtape

I kind of had an emotional bump in the road earlier this week. No worries though, I just kind of figured I wouldn't feel like updating for a few days. Aaaaaaaaand this week has been longer than it needs to be. On the sidenote, I had too much caffeine tonight, including a giant liter-a-cola of dr. pepper from Schlotzky's (the worker hooked us up and gave us the huge large), and then later, had a coffee over at the Bucks (Thanks Shannon). So needless to say, it's 2 in the morning and I'm wide awake. But tomorrow is Friday, so I'll think I'll be ok.

I've been trying to line up a few projects I've been talking about for a long time. and it's just come to that point where I'm really tired of just talking about. Anyways, look for updates regarding Q (zine), Avantcore (project with Mike and Clint), which also might include various small projects (possibilities of small editions of shirts and/or buttons). Things are starting to warm up, but we'll see how it all pans out. I feel like I haven't really sat down in a long while to just sit and create something for myself, or from myself. Work has been a bit distant, as far as me actually getting excited about the work. So I'm really hoping involving myself with other collaborative projects, it will help get it all out.

Linkage:
-Must Have Grudge Fonts. Yeah, I had most of these already. and not all of them are free. bummer.
-Geekiest Legos/Rubiks Cubes. Via Mike
-Get Helvetica Off Our Money. Yes, I too think it's a bit hilarious that we have a Swiss Typeface on American Money......
-Beard Font!
-Dyslexflix. Hilarious Wrong Movie Recommending Guide
-Tape Tape Dispenser. Yes, please.
-Nice House
-Top 50 Soccer Goals
-Fancy Schmancy Foosball Table

I've been trying to come up with some ideas to spruce up my new office. Here's a couple items that I came across:
-Knife Coat Hooks (not really available to the US, but still cool)
-Lego Calendar Clock

-The Super Analysis of Star Trek & the Red Shirts. I was unaware of the 'red shirt' things until about a year or so ago. When someone came into my work and asked if I was a red shirt and Amy was like "No, he's not, he's good." and I had to ask what it was.....so yeah, red shirt=you die, well, metaphorically.....

I made frequent visits to the Bucks now, not because I'm in love with their coffee, but more to visit friends. and well, to get out of the house. They recently have revamped their store to their old logo. I've had small discussions about it, nothing serious. But I think I've come to the conclusion it's a downgrade. As much as it might seem cool to do a throwback (like major league teams), but it always seems like a stepback. Like it's not really Helping them at all. and the old mermaid-ish thing, looks more like an old fat drunk guy with moobs (Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh) holding giant shrimp. Because when I think good tasting coffee, thats what I think of.

And last, but not least, I finally uploaded a Muxtape. Feel free to send me a link to yours. I found it a bit frustrating realizing that half of the songs I had were over the alloted size (10mb), so I had to resave some songs. Which was more annoying than it should have been. But there's a quick mix. I was trying to include some songs I have ran into, that I doubt others had and might...or might not like. Anyways, enjoy.
