"Can't repeat the past?" Gatsby cried incredulously. He leaned in close with a crazy look in his eyes. "Guess who just bought a time machine?"

It was the Ten Commandments that convinced me it was time to break my nine year string of not posting FPPs. Also that it was inexplicably not a double. (I hope) (because I will be SO ANGRY)

Look, your blog's fine, but you don't need to buy a domain name, just use Tumblr. No one who matters is going to be upset that you used Tumblr.

Back in freshman design class we had to make a children's book mockup - I choice the life of Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald: Title? Baby's First Lost Generation Authors. I think the best gag I had in it was Scott passed out at his desk with the lines "SUCCULENT IS THE NIGHT, DELICIOUS IS THE NIGHT, TASTY IS THE EVENING." crossed out next to him.
