You guys!! For about three years, I sat under the prototype of this design back when I was at the CeePee!!!

Never before has a company made me want to set myself on fire like that one does.

    Wait – Optimum Online ALSO just changed their logo to “bold-name-plus-colored-dot”. What the hell kind of lame trend is this?

      The dot changes color on each section front, and there is an illustration within the dot representing the content of that section. There’s a YouTube video of it in action. They’re throwing a giant party at the National Portrait Gallery tonight to celebrate and all I can think of is watching all my friends packing their crap into cardboard boxes so that G could realize enough savings to make their stockholders smile and to hire a design firm that comes up with a emm-effing dot.

      I hate myself for still caring about that darn company.

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)

Well, that happened.
