Here’s a great article from the Boston Globe: What font says ‘Change?’ Type designers decode the presidential candidates.

As someone who mocks the use of Comic Sans and Papyrus, this was right up my alley.

I just about lost my sh*t over these - but in the best possible way.

Yes, Internets. Those are Say Anything note cards you see there. And why yes, my half-birthday is in just 2 1/2 months!

Guys. This is awesome.

My gym has just added this stunning piece of equipment to its fitness offerings:

Meet the Nautilus TreadClimber. It’s like a combination treadmill/stair climber and claims to give you a “runner’s workout at a walker’s pace.” Plus, if you’re clumsy like me, the climbing action throws you slightly off balance and you constantly have to use your abdominal muscles to correct your positioning and not fall on your face.

Nerd euphoria. Let me show you it.

I started gleefully flagging pages right after I peeled myself off of the ceiling.

But it’s so close to work!

Would I be approaching ridiculous if I get a Costco membership solely for the purpose of getting the $1.50 hot dog and soda?

I first discovered This Fish (by Heather L. Hunter) while clicking through RA’s links page. This post caught my attention and this one sealed Heather into my heart forever. Go forth and enjoy.

These are one of the reasons why 1) Susan is awesome* and 2) my life is better than most.** Outsourced baking, friends. It’s the wave of the future.

*The recipe for these involves orange juice WHICH SHE SQUEEZED BY HAND.
**Please note the bowl from Urban Outfitters and the towel from Anthropologie. Yes, I have become that girl.

The best purchase I have ever made in my entire life

Anyone who is related to me, has lived with me, or spends an extended amount of time with me knows that I was the person they had in mind when they created this.

It’s insane.

The Biggest Loser has only been on for 8 minutes, and I’ve already cried twice.

It’s going to be a long season.
