fontness..

for some reason, i was thinkin about how different and unique the logos were for certain films, like indiana jones and star trek. and it occurred to me there must be some place to download movie fonts. so when youre up late at nite, tryin hard to spruce up your professional-lookin document and feel Times New Roman is too monotonous or Arial (where do they come up w/ these names??) is over-inundating the reader, then try somethin new to impress:

  • theres a good list here..

  • and some others over here..

    • - for some other reason, i was thinkin bout how funny it is to watch people bowl. in particular, how unique he or she celebrates after nailin a strike. cuz when i thought about it, we see athletes celebrate all the time after a tomahawk dunk or scorin a TD--we see their charisma and personality shine through that momentary and minute accomplishment. but us ordinary folk dont really have those moments outside of bball games and bowlin alleys..

    so i think its coo to see our reactions--and hence, ourselves--when we re there. cuz you gotta admit, we are pretty damn funny..

  • the showboat - hands in the air, straight-faced, and thinkin, "just sit back and enjoy as i unleash this perfect game"..

  • the malcontent - quickly turns around to walk back to his seat, not even botherin to see how many pins fall. "bowlin sucks!!"

  • the girl - okay, im sorry im makin a big stereotype but i couldnt think up a better name. we know this type: never bowled before in her entire life, needs both hands to carry the 7-lb ball, gently pushes it down the lane, and w/o explanation, all the pins tumble to the ground (of course, this whole process takes 10 mins). she then immediately screams at a pitch discernible only to dogs (yes, that means us males) and goes on to embarrass the rest of her friends w/ her euphoric glee..

  • the "all-pro" - takes his game WAY TOO seriously by not only bringin his own ball, but also pullin out a fresh pair of laces for his custom-fit shoes. his celebration is in retainin a picture-perfect, 60-degree follow-thru pose for half-a-minute..

  • the passive-aggressive - after hittin a strike, turns around embarrassed by all the acclaim and adulation, promptin him to lower his head as he tries avoidin eye-contact w/ anyone. yet thinks to himself, "ooh yeaaah, i am a bada$$"..

  • the jester - he doesnt care about the game, only comin up w/ a new hilarious pose for the uproarious crowd..

    • course, if everyones reaction is so unique how can i categorize em into these types? haha..

    by the way, theres gotta be some internet quiz for this already, right?
