was just discussing with my coworker how hard it is to get anything other than american flag stamps these days. she says, bitterly:

"well the world's fucked up. so we don't have cute stamps anymore."

I was thinking about this the other day at the post office. The only stamps of the appropriate cost are flags and old-style cars, and it irritates me to no end. Hurry up and print some Langston Hughes or Andy Warhol 37-cent stamps already, would ya?

i am sorry to tell you that the zine order i sent you is with an american flag stamp. it was the only kind i could get in a stamp machine!!

Hehe...it's okay. I have stamps that are both flags and old style cars, so I can't talk. The lack of variety just bugs, you know?

yeah, don't you have better things to worry about than cute stamps?? yeesh!

ahem. i'd be sad without the cute stamp fix. go to a larger post office, perhaps one with a stamp shop, and there you will find a plethora of cute stamps (lots of new ones out recently, too, like bats!).

at least the 60-cent stamps are pretty landscapes. but i'm getting MIGHTY tired of seeing all the american flag stamps. my gf got me a free roll of them, so i'm obligated to use them ($37 worth of free stamps! how could i NOT?)...but my stomach curdles a little every time. agh.

at least you don't have a surplus of .34c stamps people keep sending to me for zines. ugh.

i asked the postal worker i bought stamps from today what stamps they had, and they "just haven't come out with new designs yet." rar! i bought houdini stamps, though, which was exciting.

i bought two sheets of 37-cent american photography stamps. they are pretty, but huge. they ruin the aesthetic balance of my envelopes.

So I guess I'm the only one who likes the antique toy car stamps? Hmph.

i wanted to get the antique cars but the post office only had four left. i dunno what's up with that. i ended up with a sheet of american flags, ergh. houdini would have been perfect (though i've heard there's been some trouble with them slipping off envelopes... ;)
