From Janet - a movie

As you might have read yesterday, the blog is going to have odd-topics (off-topics) on odd days and as luck would have it, I just watched one of the oddest films I have ever seen. At first, I was questioning if I really needed to spend time on a film about a guy who was obsessed with a particular purveyor of onion rings. The blurb about the film indicated that the film turned out to be about something way bigger than onion rings. So you know from the git-go that it is supposed to take you somewhere that you feel was worth the time spent on the film. I was soooo skeptical - for soooooo long. It started to feel voyeuristic - to be watching people who were struggling. But, in the end - it tied up all the story lines and it was a glimpse into the world of being obsessed - whether it was a harmless obsession or one that approaches some of life's more difficult situations.

I talk about my obsessions (stamps, envelopes, fonts) in a light hearted manner. I'm aware that for some people (families) obsessions can turn the corner or cross a line and cause serious struggles. So, I assure you, I am sensitive to talking about obsessions. I do not recommend the movie for everyone. It is quirky. If you like to delve into unusual obsessions (onion rings/gambling/film-making/Minnesotans)

Janet: don't read anything into being added to a post about obsession. It is purely random which envelopes get hooked up to which blurbs. Although, from what I have observed, Janet is *obsessed* with all kinds of lovely things. 

The font is so good with that stamp. It was smart to place the stamp a little low and to the left of where the cancel was going to be. That page behind the envelope is from a *reverse coloring book.* I might try to add something to it. Janet says the gold blob creature in the lower right corner was an ooops. We always enjoy seeing a good *oops-disguise.* This would be a very good font to try if you have never done any lettering. It is so forgiving.
