No more “Big B”

3 Comments

Belk used to refer to its old logo as the “Big B” back when it was first unveiled in the late 1960s. The old logo was actually the first logo ever adopted by the company chain-wide, thanks to its loose corporate structure. And it was one of the first things I learned how to draw.

The new logo, alas, looks cheap and tacky. It is in no way big, attractive, nor anything that I would ever want to draw.

It will not, however, stop me from shopping at Belk. I stopped doing that years ago when I gave up malls in general.

Just thinking…

I’m a little baffled as to how (or why) you would use an RSS feed of your email inbox. It would seem that you would have to be logged into your email for the feed to display in the first place (or at least I hope you would), so what exactly is the point?

Or am I just missing something?

I’m a little pissed off about RSS feeds in general today, but that’s a subject for another rant I don’t have time to write at the moment.

Monday morning

To say that this weekend really, really, really sucked would be the understatement of the year; the fact that I was actually sort of looking forward to going back to work this morning (just as a signal that the aforementioned weekend was over) should give an indication of the level of suckage.

But I did find what looks to be a very intersting read at a used bookstore in Charlotte on Sunday, so at least there’s that.

My stomach hurts…

…metaphorically, of course.

If someone told me that they planned to start repeatedly punching me in the stomach in the not too distant future, and then asked if I’d rather they started now or waited a while, I’d probably request that they not start at all. If that weren’t an option, though, I guess I’d rather they started now. That way, maybe I’d get desensitized faster and the blows would might stop hurting sooner.

But maybe that’s just all that junk food from the fair talking.
