Things I DO understand and definitely AM going to talk about:

• I wanted to change the design of Things I Don’t Understand And Definitely Am Not Going To Talk About
• I did not really know how to do that.
• I messed up the html a lot, while trying.
• Meaghan saved the day. She let me send her lots of nit-picking art direction via instant message and then she just made it all happen. And now it looks like this. Hire her.

Right now my IT department is working on this: fixing Things I Don’t Understand And Definitely Am Not Going To Talk About.

dearoldlove:

That’s not a punny title; this is an actual editor’s note. “Dear Old Love” is up for a Bloggie as Best Microblog! Vote at 2009.bloggies.com. Thank you, nominator. Also, thank you readers and contributors for making this site something worthwhile—it can make my heart hurt, but more often makes me laugh. Back to the notes…

Dear you,

“As always, she was late.”

This clip reminds me; I’d rather stay home and watch this whole movie than meet you in Union Square today. 

Also, I love the luggage trope in Wes Anderson movies.

Love, me

Students from 826NYC and 826 National centers across the country wrote and illustrated letters to Barack Obama, and a few of them appear in an Op-Ed piece, “Dear Sir Obama: Presidential Advice” in today’s New York Times.

Read the Op-Ed and support programming at 826NYC by signing up for Scrabble for Cheaters now!

The letters will be collected in the forthcoming Thanks and Have Fun Running the Country: A Collection of Kids’ Letters to President Obama, edited by 826 Valencia’s Jory John.

I suppose I should be pleased that you call me late at night to make random pop culture references.

Dear you,

This is one of my favorite Voice covers. So simple. Chris Sauve designed it soon after I stopped working there. If I’d still worked there then, though, I would have made sure that the framed version was hung near my desk.

Love, me

Dear you,

This is hanging on my wall. It feels good to have some small things already decided.

Love, me

Dear you,

Marimekko’s Keisarinkruunu pattern. This has long been my favorite. I want to hang a piece of this fabric on my wall.

Love, me

Dear you,

New year, new address, new phone number, no mattress yet, but one day off, finally, so all is okay.

Love, me

I told Jen I was an Adium addict. She was worried.

Dear you,

This is totally true.  “Adium” sounds exactly like a cross between two of my medications.

Love, me

Dear you,

TONIGHT: David Zwirner is hosting a book signing in the gallery with artist Marcel Dzama and filmmaker Spike Jonze to launch Dzama’s newest book Even the
Ghost of the Past.

The book is stunning. Marcel is a gem. You should go. I’ll see you there.

Love, me
