Does this look funny to you?
Just a couple things this morning:
X. Do the titles on my posts look odd, by any chance? Up there, where it says “Does this look funny to you?” – are the letters smooth, or are they all pixelated? Every time I look at my page on the work computer (er, not that I’m goofing off or anything) the title font isn’t drawn correctly, since the font apparently isn’t in the work computer’s system. Is this a problem with my site common to many of you, or is it just our store’s machine? (If it is a widespread problem, I’ll just have to change the font to Comic Sans. Everyone loves Comic Sans, right?)
Y. Honestly, I have no idea – Altavista Babel Fish, you have failed me again! – but I love my German friends. I’m particularly intrigued by the phrase “Da kann Mr. Sterling ja gar nicht anders als den Satan mit dem Beelzebub auszutreiben…”
