I adore my landlord. He’s way too cute, this Italian that reminds me of Helio Castroneves but brings an additional sense of hunkiness to mind. G has a very kind soul (sadly I believe he is taken though I really shouldn’t cross that line), and we clicked the first time I toured the house I now rent a room in. Over the couple months I’ve been here I’ve helped him out by showing the other available rooms to prospects, knowing G lives at least 45 minutes away. I don’t expect anything out of it, just doing it because it’s the considering thing to do, I remember how difficult it can be to manage rental property…and I like helping people when possible.

Over time he has sent me text messages or emails in response to my help. They range from “YOU…. ARE… AWESOMELY STUPENDIDLYLICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SUPER GIRL!!!!!!!!!!” to “yer a good egg”. Earlier this afternoon I received an email from him regarding getting the new roommate (she’s hot!) hooked up with cable. Here’s how he ended his message:

PS–you are THE most advanced prototype for kindness and
general likeability!

I must say, he really does know how to complement someone, and as I told G before, I need to keep his messages around for a morale boost on the not-so-positive days.

I can’t keep this hilarious site to myself: Make My Logo Bigger Cream!

Fellow designers around the would will enjoy but please, don’t pass on to those who hire us. I fear they’d actually believe the products exist hehe. I can’t tell you how many times in the past month my largest client has asked for “more starbursts” or “can you make my logo bigger?”. Oh, yeah, and car dealers have no idea what the concept of “white space” is.
