bits & pieces: the bummed edition
"Bummed" is not really the word for it when you hear about the extremely tragic death of someone you peripherally know. But the Internet trudges on, and so do you. Sorry for the downer of a post.
+ If you are a tiny bit of a grammar nerd, or love punctuation, or just wonder whether or not you're a jerko for hating the co-worker who puts five !!!!!s after SEE YOU ON FRIDAY in his/her emails, this article by Stuart Jeffries ("The Joy of Exclamation Marks!") will probably make you smile. Happy fact: there is a town called Saint-Louis-du-Ha! Ha!.
+ Forget your frou-frou letterpress name card whatnot etc. -- I know you want a business card made out of meat. (Sorry, LJ, and All Veggie-Types Out There.) Meat Cards are jerky with your important information laser-cut into them. Samples include those for Patrick Bateman. Oof. (Thanks for the tip, Carolee.)
+ Favorite online shop Creatures of Comfort is having their end-of-season blowout sale -- Rachel Comey, Peter Jensen, Araks, etc. If you live in LA, head to 7971 Melrose; if you're browsing on the webby-web, go to http://shop.creaturesofcomfort.us.
Tell someone you care about that you love them today.

Say something so insightful and witty, it will blow us away. (No pressure.)
Got something to say? We'd love to hear it! Name, email and "type in the weirdo drunken text" thingie are all required to comment; don't worry, we won't email you or anything, we just want to make sure you're not an evil spambot. Keeping in mind the good-times mentality we like to keep going here, we've worked hard to keep NOGOODFORME.COM as fun as possible. We welcome all kinds of comments, but insults/abuse/general bitchery are not tolerated. In other words, we put the smackdown on evil troll posts. If you want to be a hater, please go elsewhere. Now, as Salt 'N Pepa say, "Only the sexy people..."
