Hurtful fonts to continue...

The fonts I am afraid would have to be, till further notice. Been busy doing other things at the moment, and I’m not feeling that this demands my immediate attention. Procrastination… I think not, or maybe it is. Heh. Would eventually find out about this, and return to finishing it. Actually found sites that offer, backgrounds, fonts and such… but it didn’t appeal to me. There was an official Spider-man 2 site, that offered the aforementioned things above, the only catch is that they would be riding on free advertisements from the consumers themselves. Thought that was funny, especially links to their websites and all. That is the new “consumerism”, for the uninitiated. Why waste their already mega budget, when they get a free ride off unsuspecting and gullible users.
Brilliant.
Just bought the new Jeff Buckley cd, well if you can’t even buy an album supporting a dead artiste rather than downloading it… wonder when you would actually support an artiste. Got hooked on Buckley when I was reading an article on how he passed away. No, this is not some weird necrophilia obsession on my part; I suppose he got some free publicity for his albums with his passing. Or mayhaps, it was just the recording company’s attempt to squeeze some extra dough of somebody. Anyway, the story was Buckley and a friend was on their way to record his then new album, and on their way Buckley asked the friend to pull over because he wanted to go for a swim at a… lake/dam? So he went, and he never came back. He was found dead on May, 29th 1997. This story is kinda hazy for me, can’t recall much on this… I have the memory of a goldfish. If you have no clue on this great artiste, go buy his first album Grace. It’ll be a revelation on your part, for having discovered this person. Yes, the album that I bought entitled Live at Sin-e, is brilliant as well.
