Despite the flack that Comic Sans has been getting in the recent years, I think that it may be making a comeback! Exhibit A: The hilarious essay titled “I’m Comic Sans, Asshole.“ Exhibit B: The Comic Sans Project, which takes famous logos and replaces their proprietary fonts with — you guessed it — Comic Sans.

Help Fund “Chink” — The First Asian American Serial Killer Movie!
The last time we visited LA, we stayed at the lovely home of our friend Marcia and her screenwriter husband, Koji. There are two things that stand out to me most about that week-long trip: (1) it rained almost the entire time we were there, further adding credence to the theory that I bring bad weather […]
The First Kiss
I always have a television show on queue to watch whenever I get some downtime and need to zone out, or when I am having trouble falling asleep. And these days, that show has been The Wonder Years. (image source) (Never watched The Wonder Years? Go do it now. It’s on Netflix streaming!) I have […]
Siri Now Tries Too Hard to Help People Get Abortions
Regardless of your stance on abortion, you can’t deny that these mock-ups, created in response to the reports of the iPhone 4S digital assistant’s inability to find abortion clinics, are pretty damn funny. 🙂 Via Happy Place.

Thirty-One
On the eve of my thirty-first birthday, I wished that Aerin would go to bed easily for the night and stay asleep for at least three hours. But her witching hour had seemed to shift forward by about 3 hours. For at around 9pm, she became a whiny, crying, cranky mess… And stayed that way […]
Tiffany & Co.’s Spectacular Winter Window Display
In my pre-baby days, when I worked full-time as a marketing coordinator, my office was just one block from the famed Macy’s in Herald Square. Sure, I hated the extra tourist traffic and the madness that ensued every holiday season, but I sure loved peeking at its beautiful window displays with each passing month. I […]

The Circle of Life
Okay, fess up. Who hasn’t picked up a baby or a pet while singing “The Circle of Life”? 😀 (And I personally fell in love with Modern Family after watching Cameron do this with Lily on the pilot episode.) Via 9GAG.

Letting Go of Control
Yesterday, I had noted that Aerin generally seems to be an easier baby than Claire. I now have another theory as to why may be so: it’s because as second-time parents, we are much more relaxed about EVERYTHING. For example, for the first few months of Claire’s life we religiously tracked her every breath with […]
