I've seen the movie a few times on the shelf of the video library and thought about renting it, but I could never bring myself to pull the trigger.
I don't care how good you tell me a movie is, if I find out it's black and white then you've lost a potential viewer. It prolly has something to do with my latent ADHD which is really just my cockamamie excuse for saying I'm too lazy to pay attention, but I needs some color when I'm watching the telly. On a whim, I got the chance to see the classic Ingmar Bergman film The Seventh Seal and my oh my.įirst, let me say that I can't usually bang with black and white movies. Outside of the same big summer movies everybody else has seen and some other art-house flicks, I've had the chance to catch some classics, like Annie Hall, for the first time, and rewatch some others. It's not out yet, and really this post is more of a reminder to myself to check for it in the coming weeks, but if you're like me then keep clicking this link until it says it's available for purchase.Īmong other things, this summer has allowed me to watch a crazy amount of movies, new and old.
Along with giving a history of typography, it's designed for people like me, normal folk with below-Chinese handwriting abilities, and uses activities to help you learn the art of lettering. I admire them so much, that I might cop this book so I can be like them and regain my lost prominence as a handwriter par excellence. You know, those people who can write straight without lines on the paper? Or people whose handwriting looks like comic sans or helvetica without even trying? Yeah, I think those people are cool. I'm not sure why, but why question God? He chose the Jews to write the Bible, the Mexicans to have excellent landscaping skills, and the Chinese to have great handwriting. Experience has shown that these people are usually Chinese (read: Asian) and almost always female. I've always been a fan of people with good handwriting. All that evil energy worked its way out my body through my hands.

I also had learned how to behave in school by that point, which prolly meant my handwriting suffered as I tried to keep myself from saying and doing inappropriate things to my classmates and teachers. Not enough space for a young scholar to express himself. I was an architect with lines and curves, ya dig? I'm not sure why or when I stopped writing neatly, but I think it had something to do with learning cursive and moving from wide-ruled to college-ruled paper. My teachers would fawn over my penmanship as though I were the Frank Lloyd Wright of writing. Disfruta.įrom about kindergarten to 3rd grade, I had impeccable handwriting. I never bought into the first wave of new artists coming outta Cali (Pac Div, U-N-I, etc.), but this tide of post-Dom folk has my ears itching in the goodest way possible. Pistols and Palm Trees is a bonafide banger. Still, being the cynic that I am, I didn't bet the house that Skeme could deliver an album's worth of verses as enjoyable as that one verse, not cuz I didn't believe, but just because that would be foolish to assume. And that's just on top of the fact that dude can rap. It's a nuance that many a rapper spends years tryna grasp before they get it right (Dom Kennedy being a prime example). The first thing that struck me about him was his poise on the track. I first heard Skeme in his scene-stealing verse from "Play On" on Dom Kennedy's Westside. While there are a few talented artists tryna get noticed, even many of those are still struggling to not sound like pubescent High School Musical dropouts. New rappers are a dime penny a dozen nowadays, and most suck horse cajones.
