Dear Blogspot

Dear Blogspot,

I am sorry I have abandoned you lately. I have met someone else. Their name is Tumblr, and they make it easy to post many times a day, just with little things that interest me. While I have not forgotten the amazing times we have had together, I will be spending the majority of my time with Tumblr.

This does not mean I am abandoning you. I could come back and spend some time with you tomorrow, but I have not had time to think about things to write about, then spend the time writing. Classes are stressful, and so if planning for the summer and next school year. I have also been spending a lot of time praying I can graduate on time.

That being said, dear Blogspot, I will be going. As I said, you can find me on Tumblr. I will be seeing you soon.

Love,
Kate

Things I Enjoy, Part Two

1) Arabic Script - In my first “Things I Enjoy” post I included typography. I have always loved the look of Arabic script, and I have wanted to learn Arabic for so long. I tried once, and failed miserably. I was talking to Marshall about this earlier and he wants to learn too, so we may try to learn together. In my design class today I was putzing around Flickr trying to find some images to use for a collage for a book on color theory. And I came across a group dedicated to Arabic typography. I about had a conniption. Some of the images were in manuscript form, and some were more design or art related. Some of my favorites:

2) You’ve Got Mail - You’ve Got Mail is hands down my favorite movie. It is one of those movies that can put you in a good mood no matter what. I remember in high school I had the flu and laid in bed for days, and just watched this over and over and over. I cannot get sick of it. I haven’t watched it in a while, but I am planning on it tonight when I get off work.




I love Meg Ryan’s character, Kathleen Kelly. I wish I had someone like her as a pen pal.


”Sometimes I wonder about my life. I lead a small life - well, valuable, but small - and sometimes I wonder, do I do it because I like it, or because I haven't been brave? So much of what I see reminds me of something I read in a book, when shouldn't it be the other way around? I don't really want an answer. I just want to send this cosmic question out into the void. So good night, dear void.”

“People are always saying that change is a good thing. But all they're really saying is that something you didn't want to happen at all... has happened. My store is closing this week. I own a store, did I ever tell you that? It's a lovely store, and in a week it'll be something really depressing, like a Baby Gap. Soon, it'll be just a memory. In fact, someone, some foolish person, will probably think it's a tribute to this city, the way it keeps changing on you, the way you can never count on it, or something. I know because that's the sort of thing I'm always saying. But the truth is... I'm heartbroken. I feel as if a part of me has died, and my mother has died all over again, and no one can ever make it right.”

“Once I read a story about a butterfly in the subway, and today, I saw one! It got on at 42nd and off at 59th, where, I assume, it was going to Bloomingdales to buy a hat that will turn out to be a mistake, as almost all hats are.”

“When you read a book as a child, it becomes a part of your identity in a way that no other reading in your whole life does.”
