I hadn't realized WordPress.org hosts blogs on its site--WordPress.com. How novel. I've been wanting to use it for a while now, but never had the proper host or programming abilities.

So, I'm trying it out. Bear with me. I'm trying to find a new home, to incorporate both my blog and my main site. Something that's not a pain in the ass to update if I don't have internet access with my computer, which happens pretty regularly. Something pretty.

- -Amazon.com addict and proud of it, though I usually use the Marketplace, I didn't this time because they gave me free shipping with a free 3-month trial of a "prime" account, probably because I'm such an addict

I emailed Princeton University Press with this question:

This is a bit of a random question, but I was wondering about a font used on a Princeton Paperback book. The book title is "Is Multiculturalism Bad for Women?" by Susan Okin; I'm curious as to what the font on the back cover is. Let me know if you can help me in this quest! :)

I found the response kind of amazing:

I was hoping to be able to answer your question about the font on the back cover of the Okin book, but I'm afraid I haven't succeeded.  I have the book on my shelf, and I took it to one of our senior deisgners to see whether she could identify the font.  She could not, and she said it wouldn't be possible to do so with certainty without having the original cover files.  To complicte matters, the cover was designed by a freelance designer who is, I believe, no longer living.

And as usual, I'm doing Work Study in the theatre. My official title this term is Assistant Technical Director. Spiffy! It probably won't change much of what I actually do, it's more just recognition of my abilities. Which is nice.

I will be using many of my Work Study hours to run an open mic night in the Experimental Theatre, every other Friday starting in October. I'll be posting the specifics once I've drafted up actual press materials. But if you're interested in helping out with it, let me know!
