Interrobang

October 8, 2009

hello there!

I feel like it’s been a while, but it hasn’t! only 3 days! score.

Here are three things:

#1. I’ve decided that I want to open up an umbrella repair shoppe.
in Vancouver.

I’ll repair umbrella’s “while you wait” and it will be a nice coffee house atmosphere. While patrons’ umbrellas are being repaired they’ll be treated to a complimentary specialty coffee, a comfy chair, and an unread newspaper.
There will also be a selection of new umbrellas available for those who would rather trade-in their umbrella instead of having it fixed.
(the above pic of a square umbrella is from Umbrella Heaven.)

#2.
Interrobang.
How did I not know about this word / punctuation before?! I love it!
love love love.
Thanks Contrariwise!

#3. Poem Cup as seen in the Curiosity Shoppe.

I like this.
It reminds me of the bank.
…you know, back in the day when you had to fill out those slips of paper in order to withdraw money.
those were the days….

  2. your umbrella shop idea is awesome. though you should probably sell the specialty coffee and free refills of drip coffee. it’s a green idea and it’s fun. though i have to admit that i’ve never knew it was possible to fix umbrellas.

    new punctuation = awesome.

  3. I feel like it would be possible! …like, I’d have to have a ’shop’ in the back with metal rods and umbrella plastic. My mom says that my grandmother used to repair umbrellas. hah! It runs in the family…

    I think I’m going to put a interrobang on my wall…

  4. I agree with everything in Hana’s comment.

    I feel like Eats, Shoots and Leaves should’ve included this punctuation. oh well.
