I wanted to wish you a happy 4th of July
I wanted to use the calendar a number of times this year

Let’s get this out of the way: I hate LA.
I hate LA the way that any good New Yorker hates LA, with a passion bordering on paranoid psychosis. I hate the faux culture, I hate the vapid people, I hate the unctuous politics.

I hate the way they turned silicon into silicone.

Nobody in L.A. hates New York. We love New York. Especially because we don’t have to live there.

Do you know about The Fat Boys f/ The Beach Boys classic sorta-cover of “Wipe Out” from The Beach Boys’ 26th studio album, Still Cruisin’—my favorite record at age three? Please enjoy:
Pretty great. Missing my favorite: “It glues to a tightwad / the pyrex is Jewish!” from Clipse’s Hell Hath No Fury.
The Long Goodbye.
Just a reminder that Raymond Chandler is such a great writer.
LA Font
Better than Helvetica and Wingdings
“I wish people understood that by buying new books at a deep discount they are pushing us towards a future that consists solely of self-published 99 cent ebooks. If you know anyone who edits, copyedits, designs, draws, writes, or otherwise publishes books, you should think twice…

I’ll try not to reblog every LA-Font-has-a-kickstarter-now, but I can’t promise.
Would kick in $2,500 to be exec producer, but I gotta eat.
