Museum of Modern Art
Wendy: so I went to the San Diego MoMA
George: for fun?
Wendy: and there was a piece there I really liked
Wendy: http://www.sdmart.org/pix/exhibitions/views-ruscha.jpg
Wendy: I like the typography.
Wendy: It's a painting
Wendy: hahaha
Wendy: and okay, so I'm a romantic
Wendy: and this is how I interpreted it
George: you ARE a design geek
Wendy: it's a night sky
Wendy: and some design geek is looking up at it
Wendy: with his design geek girlfriend
Wendy: and he's labeling it as "Ours"
George: ROTFL
George: are you gonna get a design geek bf wendy?
Wendy: hahahahaha
Wendy: of course
Wendy: that's my hidden inspiration
George: hahahaha that you will one day attract the attention of a design geek and run off with him
Wendy: hahaha yes
Wendy: and he will look at the sky
Wendy: and label it as "ours"
Wendy: in a very nice typography
George: :groan:
George: that it is
George: i'm guessing a condensed garamond
George: mmm maybe not...
Wendy: I was thinking Garamond, too
Wendy: but maybe not
Wendy: it is a painting after all
Wendy: so it might not be a perfect replication
George: ya i don't think the U is as round either
George: i really want to have a swordfight right now and i don't know why.
Wendy: you're strange
George: OOOH it could be fenice?
Wendy: Fenice??
Wendy: I've NEVER heard of that
Wendy: okay you've defeated me in terms of design geekiness
Wendy: I was totally thinking a modified Garamond
Wendy: thinner and taller
George: lol we were thinking of using that as the Guardian logo font last year
George: that's the only reason i know it
George: the U & R match, but the O is a bit shorter in fenice
Wendy: Oh ho
Wendy: I think it could be Palatino
Wendy: in terms of thinness
George: and the battle over sheer geekiness continues :-P
Wendy: I think it could be a condensed Palatino
Wendy: Check it out
Wendy: OURS
Wendy: just make it like 50% thinner
Wendy: hahaha
Wendy: or I mean condensed
George: hm i think you're right
Wendy: I AM AWESOME.
George: haha and now i shall go render it in illustrator to make sure
George: nope not palatino
Wendy: WHAT.
Wendy: Oh I suppose
Wendy: the O is wrong
George: OH WOW IT IS FENICE
George: I WIN
Wendy: DAMN IT
Wendy: DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT
George: lol wait no not quite fenice, but a lot closer than palatino
Wendy: I think the thing that troubles me
Wendy: is that O
George: yeah, if you use fenice, the o is just slightly thinner
George: on the sides
George: George: you SO owe me
George: lol
Stacey Kuo: i know i know
Stacey Kuo: i love you
Stacey Kuo: does that help
Wendy: hahahaha
Wendy: awww!!
Wendy: SHE LOVES YOOOOUUUUUUU
Wendy: SHE COULD BE YOUR DESIGN GEEK GIRL
Wendy: that you stare upa t the sky with
George: except no shut up while you're behind.
George: she's 4 years younger than me
Wendy: wow.
George: judged THAT one wrong eh?
George: hahahaha
Wendy: oh, I have two free guest passes to the art museum
Wendy: makes me wish I could drive
George: you could get him to take you and see how designer geek he gets?
Wendy: hahahahahaha that's so awkward
George: it's only awkward if you make it so :)
Wendy: ohh, it's awkward
Wendy: just me and my TA
Wendy: yeah, a little awkward
George: well he's not your TA any more
Wendy: oh, I still feel awkward
Wendy: since I have no interest in him although he's a very cool person
Wendy: and if I ask him to go to the museum with him, well that's a signal I don't want to be sending
George: ya you'd totally be using him
Wendy: or at least not a signal I want to be sending now, post-Physics lab
Wendy: too bad you don't drive
Wendy: or else we could debate the font some more
George: yeah THAT won't freak people out at MoMA
Wendy: okay there is some weird stuff there
Wendy: I think two people arguing about typography is not one of the weirder things at MoMA
George: touche.
George: we can call ourselves an art piece
George: interactive modern art
Wendy: YES
Wendy: I LOVE IT.
George: hahaha print out one of those description cards and wear it
George: [Untitled Argument], 2006

Media: Human beings
Catalogue #
Wendy: THAT IS AWESOME
Wendy: GEORGE WHY DON'T YOU DRIVE?
George: BECAUSE I"M POOR AND DESTITUTE AND CAN'T AFFORD THE $500 PERMIT

Wendy: hahahaha
George: 5 times to be exact.
George: anyways, analyze....
Wendy: silly Georgie
Wendy: not noticing these things
George: i'm a guy, i have my dense moments.
Wendy: yeah, anyway, I think I'm making this needlessly awkward
George: yep :)
George: but it's so fun this way
Wendy: hahahah yeah, it is
Wendy: especially considering my last experience
Wendy: oh wait, from that
Wendy: I should have learned that
Wendy: strong signals MEAN NOTHING
Wendy: NOTHING.
Wendy: okay
Wendy: I'm not bitter
George: uh......
Wendy: anyhow, time for me to sleep

Wendy: !!!!!!
