📢 New street art stencil celebrates under-appreciated philosopher from Wales. Portrait aims to revive interest in the writings of Richard Price. Full story :: bit.ly/CdfPhilPrice

Trying extra hard to look like a serious intellectual at a local café. ONLY the most attentive would know I've been doom scrolling on Twitter the entire time.

Some blends ive been enjoying lately. Smooth, crisp, and light drinking to end the summer.

Some films ive seen recently. Dunkirk was OK and my least favorite of Nolan. John Wayne is always fun to watch and these were all great. Ill probably watch more of him, westerns, and the like this month.

Although entertaining, this was a huge disappointment. Could have been much more!

Part 1 of my day watching epic films, Godfather I Metrograph Classic. I need to rewatch it to appreciate it more. Im looking forward to watching Godfathr II next week!

Enjoying a pour over Gotham Coffee before Lawrence of Arabia The Paris Theater

I saw Larence of Arabia The Paris Theater yesterday and it was incredible! The 70mm was breathtaking! I was pleasantly surprised. It had different scenes and diagloue than the version I streamed a few weeks ago.

Watched anoyher John Wayne classic recently, True Grit. Will be watching more westerns the rest of the month.

Excited to test this out with a few new blends.

Saw The Conversation earlier and now ending the day with Handmaiden. Metrograph

Had a quick intermission Dayglow

Now watching The Godfather 2 Metrograph Maybe Ill fit in another film before the big storm hits.
