Sam and I are unwinding after a pleasant day of Errol Flynn movies. He’s asleep on the sofa (Sam,
not Mr. Flynn), and I’m enjoying a couple of Otter Pops and a big tumbler of sugar-free lemonade. In case you give a crap, the aforementioned Errol Flynn marathon included
Dodge City (1939),
Santa Fe Trail (1940) and
They Died with Their Boots On (1941), all with Olivia de Havilland. Personally, I think
They Died with Their Boots On — a very fictionalized version of Custer’s last stand — is probably Flynn’s finest movie.
However, I also love Errol Flynn in
Captain Blood (1935),
The Charge of the Light Brigade (1936) and
The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938). Again, all co-starring Olivia de Havilland. And even better … all of these movies are stored on our DVR so I can watch them whenever I need an Errol Flynn “fix,” which is actually a frequent occurance around here.
Please join me in wishing my kid sister Robin a very happy 66th birthday today. Mazel tov, Robbo …
Sam and I send our love! And by the way, do you remember Bobbles McDonald? Rosalie and Polly? How about Madica and Merica?
For the font addicts among you, the fancy layered script (above) that I used for Robin’s name is called “Asterik.” (Nope, that’s not a typo.) Click
here if you’d like to snag it for your personal font collection, okay?
As long as I’m on the subject —
fonts, remember? — I figure this would be a fine time to add today’s delicious freebies! I’ve got a little of everything for you, from a weatherbeaten vintage serif font (“Serifa Aspera”), fun display fonts (“Retro Board,” “Yellow Jelly,” “London Train”), hand-lettered fonts (“Latype Condensed,” “Feruci”) and a pair of layered scripts with dozens and dozens of alternate characters and fancy swashes. FYI, please check out the “Huge Font Bundle,” because the name is definitely on target. It contains about 150 fonts, including a
bundle-within-a-bundle (“The Handtype Toolkit”)
with an additional 45 fonts, a page of graphics in Adobe Illustrator (AI) format and 15 hand-drawn seamless vector patterns.
I’ll include all the necessary download links after the font list.
Y’all probably know by now that I’m not fan of Donald Trump. As a matter of fact, I can’t even stand the sight of his
face. But I thought I’d put together this little photo montage in case you ever doubted the attraction this disgusting slob has for his daughter Ivanka.
These pictures make my skin crawl. He obviously started grooming Ivanka at an early age, because she can’t be more than 10 or 11 years old in a couple of these pictures.
Rumor has it that Donald pressured her into breast augmentation when she was still in high school (nothing would surprise me).
DONALD TRUMP, “FATHER OF THE YEAR.”
I wanted to write a serious, thought-provoking section for this post, but I’m coming up a little dry at the moment. Maybe I’ll save it for next time, have a snack and fall asleep for a while. Eating and sleeping sounds like a damn good idea.
Thank you for reading this. Go ahead and remember the Alamo for a couple of minutes. (I’ll wait.)
