Awake

Just finished watching the documentary, "Helvetica." Loved it. My favorite part was when the guy set the boring article about Bryan Ferry in Zapf Dingbats. Hilarious! I had to "rewind" and watch it twice that part was cracking me up so bad. I'm still chuckling about it.

Incidentally, I watched it on Netflix. Before, you had to be on Windows to use their "Watch Instantly" service. But now, they're using Microsoft's Silverlight plugin and it works on my Mac now too. Very glad they did that. The movie I had at home was really not doing it for me at all and I've been wanting to see Helvetica for quite some time now, just never got around to it. So stopped lame movie in the DVD player and queued up Helvetica on the 'puter instead. Lovely.

It would be interesting to watch Helvetica and The Matrix back-to-back. I wonder if The Matrix is really just a metaphor for Helvetica.

Could be. Could be.
