12.30.00

A few days ago I got this idea in my head that if I didn't come back to the Internet before the end of the year, I never would. The problem is, I've been gone for over two months--long enough so that the only way I can return is with a bang and a brilliant entry. An entry worthy of awards and acclamations. An entry that would change not only my life, but yours. 

Are you ready?

Are you ready?

Are you ready?

Me neither. 

Hula and I have this bag of domain names we bought a long time ago. We had big plans for them, but never once used one. I seriously considered animalcracker.com, but couldn't fully wrap myself around the cookie theme that would result. Bankruptcynow.com didn't seem suitable, theisrealite.com made no sense, and we will use the thezoologist.com and mortimeradler.com someday. 

While I'm not sure I can give theinsult.com the sarcasm and smarminess such a name deserves and I'm only beginning to develop a design, this is what I settled on. I'm thinking a Saul Bass, "Man with the Golden Arm" feel to go along with what I hope will be scathing and brilliantly written insight, but aside from finding a font and employing an elaborate table, I haven't gotten very far. I am working under an artificial deadline, so bear with me.

Everything's new, I'm rushed and some of it's bound to not work. Be gentle when informing me of links that may be broken or images that may appear as a red X. And as always, be generous with the praise.

 oh no no, ho ho ho

Oh, for those of you following along in the song book, I'm still not smoking and I've gained about 15 pounds with only a small portion of that going to the breast area.

It's good to be back. I really missed you. 

xoxo,
