Friday, finally. Woo-hoo. Luckily, I don't think I'll be too busy today at work and I'm in the mood to write, so look forward to another long entry today. My band has a show tonight and I'm pretty psyched for it. It's a very bittersweet psyched though since our keyboardist is leaving and it will be one of her last shows. It's always sad to see someone go, especially from a creative project that you hold so near and dear, but we'll get on. We'll just have to play even harder for these last two shows to make it count.

On another note, completely (or maybe on a similar) I'm going to pick my word for today. Cross your fingers and hope it's not warthog. Yow!

Today's word is: type.

Well, my first thought is typography. Hmmm...let me think about this. Be back soon. Maybe a story where the characters are actual characters, as in letters? Hmmm, that really gives new meaning to the phrase "A-B dialogue." Stay tuned, dudes.

OK, I'm back but I guess I had more work to do today than I thought I would. Yuck. I have been thinking about type all day though, and here's what I have to say about it. Not really about typography, more about just playing with letters and words and it's actually strangely inspired by the classic Peter Sellers movie The Party:
