OK faithful readers, here is a little quiz for you.
Can you tell the difference between the following fonts?
Scala sans regular:
and Scala sans LF regular?:
Oh, you can? What gave it away? The way the numbers are very very different? Was that your first clue?
Next quiz: can you tell the difference between Scala sans regular:
and Georgia ?:
Wow, again? You guys are on fire. Now, it may be presumptuous of me, but I'm guessing that none of you are professional printers. Do you think that maybe typefaces would be something that a professional printer might have some degree of familiarity with - at least to the extent that they are able to see very obvious differences with, oh, I don't know, their naked human eye? (You know, like you did just now?)
Well then I know a professional printing office that gets a big giant F- on their report card for "Visual Comprehension". You guys, however, get an A+.
If you'd like to print some business cards for me, I have some business to throw your way.

Hi and welcome to the new jennmartinelli.net/weblog. Glad you stopped by. I've recently started to use an entirely new platform for this weblog.
New platform?...
Glad you asked. It's a super awesome new platform for creating weblogs or any other dynamic site created by my genius boyfriend Rob (robreed at gmail dot com). Email him and tell him how awesome he is.
Why you should visit this site regularly
Because I'm totally hilarious and mostly all I ever do is get too upset about everything, which is typically entertaining for everyone else.
What's going on right now
We're still working on getting settled at our new condo in East Boston. We have managed to settle on a paint color in the bedroom on our second try. We're on our third in the livingroom and it's hard to say for sure that we're done until we get the baseboards and crown moulding up. We recently discovered our kitchen sink isn't properly sealed to the counter and leaks and our garbage disposal started leaking too. Good think we're not too scared to do some home repairs ourselves. Someday I hope to decide the place is settled enough to have a long overdue housewarming party.
