![]() You’re supposed to care, I think, but they forgot to tell us why. Some people are trying to save some vague cosmetic business while other people want to sell it off to make money. He was a complicated mess of a man, though, and the most fun to watch. While normally I would say “What were you thinking?” this method has actually worked in other dramas… so… you never know. This time he’s gonna go bat shit crazy and see if maybe scaring his crush to death might be a more successful romantic approach. Except this time he’s not gonna bow out gracefully. Wrong! Her fiance’s heart ended up in his business rival’s chest and the next thing you know, he’s playing the entire sad story out again. But after her fiance died, he thought he finally had a chance. Yoon Hyun Min played the most interesting character – the dude who’d been in love with Soon Jung forever but had always stepped aside. At least he brought his character to life and had fun with it… and with his hair. Not amazing, not even necessarily memorable, but cute. Jung Kyung Ho played the asshole businessman who gets a heart transplant from a nice guy, magically transforming him into a decent human being. They should have made a little effort to give this character some depth or dimension, cause she was as flat and dry as cardboard. It made her look like an expressionless mannequin… and her face has always looked a little manufactured to me anyways, so that didn’t help. Why did all these people fall in love with her in the first place? It’s not Kim So Yeon’s fault – she can be wonderful in shows but apparently she forgot to read the script before she agreed to make this drama. Even with all this going for it… I just couldn’t get past episode six. Even with the pretty compelling mini-plots, aka the cases that were being solved as we waited for the “big case” to be solved. Even with the much needed social commentary on sexual assault, misogyny, and personal responsibilities. Even with the handsome Yoon Hyun Min playing the altruistic shrink turned prosecutor. ![]() This is exactly the kind of person I can’t stand in real life, so it’s no wonder I didn’t care for this show. I’ve read a lot of praise for this show for having a strong female protagonist… and I feel like they were watching a different show than I was. I found the lead female to be annoying and groan inducing. I’m usually a big fan of characters that break that mold – and our leading female certainly did – but unfortunately all that emerged from the mold was a jerk. ![]()

![]() When Noodler’s says it’s permanent, you better believe it.īut my favorite part about Noodler’s is that the formula varies slightly for every single bottle. Noodler’s also offers the widest variety of ‘bulletproof’ ink, colors that won’t fade in UV light, and can withstand water, bleach, ammonia, and still show up strong. Almost every Noodler’s color comes in a 90mL bottle for $12.50, meaning you get a fantastic value for your money. He prides on running “the smallest ink company in the world with the largest color selection”, and he really does live up to that. Noodler’s offers without a doubt the widest variety of colors, at some of the best prices you’ll find. All Noodler’s inks are made by him, at his workshop in southern Massachusetts. Noodler’s Ink is the brainchild of pen enthusiast/history buff/chemist Nathan Tardif, and he’s actually the only guy running the show. I’m back, with the fourth of five November 2014 Ink Drop reviews! I still have December to get through, and I already have the samples for January! Lots of ink, lots of writing to do!Īnyway, this is the first Noodler’s ink I’ve reviewed for this series, so I guess I’ll start with a brief look at that company. FountainPen fountain pen fountain pens fountainpens ink inkdrop ink drop ink journal inkjournal pens sepia deatramentis de atramentis If you’re interested in a bottle, it’s available courtesy of Goulet Pens for $12.95. Your professors or bosses will likely find this a little more professional than the Infra-Red from last time. It’s right at the intersection of fun colors and office friendly colors. This ink is great for the person who wants to make a statement in the most professional way possible. These inks are also very vintage pen friendly, and I imagine pairing this with an ebonite pen or something of that sort, would lead to a great combination. I imagine this ink would work very well in a stub italic nib, or in a flex pen. Using my black Parker Urban made for a very nice combination, very classic and traditional. Remember, you’re paying for decades of experience and the insane level of craftsmanship that De Atramentis offers. You only get 35mL of ink in a bottle, but at $12.95, this ink is still fairly affordable. Very nice hand-blown glass, and a simple yet eye-catching label. Just the right balance between the drier side that allows for shading and the wetter end that allows the boldness of the color to properly stick out. In the bottle, it resembles a black coffee, or a strong black tea. The ink shades very well, ranging from a lighter, beige-brown to a deeper, redder, brown. Very professional, and very sharp.Ī writing sample from a Rhodia 12 pad, featuring Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in the ink’s native German. Combining this with the slightly tan paper of my Moleskine journal gives off a very classic, classy vibe. There’s a nice red tint, a throwback to inks and photos of the past. This particular shade is a very lovely brown, which is not something I expected to say. The inks come in a huge variety of shades, properties, and recipes, featuring some long-lost vintage formulas.

Just know that whatever happens in this retooling period, kneejerking will not be part of the process. The Tao of Sund - which is based on patience and practical analysis - will be sorely tested these next few months. The fans have vented plenty since the Orlando smackdown, many of them suggesting a large amount of metaphorical C4 be set off beneath the Hawks roster. 1 on everybody’s priority list,” said forward Marvin Williams. “We probably need another solid big, in order to have any kind of chance to do anything special,” said Hawks forward/center Al Horford. Doesn’t look like Sund will be getting back to Seattle - where he still keeps a home - anytime soon.Īnd with the draft (June 24) and free agency (July 1) approaching, there is no shortage of suggestions about what he and the Hawks should do next. Still unsettled is the question: What about Joe? The team’s designated star, the soon-to-be free agent whose acquisition set off a hair-pulling fight among ownership, Joe Johnson chose the playoffs to push the mute button on his game.Ī coaching hire to make. The first call came down late last week when the team decided not to re-up head coach Mike Woodson, whose contract was running out just as his team was tuning him out against Orlando. ![]() The decisions Sund renders in the next months will shape the character of the Hawks for years, and when they are made, this team will be his at the DNA level. This offseason is not about mere dot-connecting. “Trying to connect the dots,” is the way Sund put it. Sund was brought in on May 2008 under orders to buff former GM Billy Knight’s roster of long-limbed athletes to a high polish. They followed their winningest regular season in 13 years with the most lopsided playoff sweep in NBA history - losing in the second round to Orlando in four straight by an average of 25 points a game. “The really good general managers, guys who have had influence with me - my mentor Wayne Embry, Jerry West - they stay in the background,” he said.Īs much as the stealth GM wants to avoid a good headline, the Hawks have made such blessed isolation pretty much impossible. The Hawks won, and went on to win the series. When he addressed the team prior to a pivotal Game Six versus Milwaukee in the playoffs’ first round, it was the first time Sund had done anything of the kind in his two seasons on the job. As the media filters into the locker room after a game, the general manager exits from view. He does not travel on the team plane during the regular season. Sund does not watch games from the vicinity of the Hawks bench, roosting instead in a distant box. They are to blend into the scenery, like the ball rack and the Gatorade cooler. In his world, general managers are supposed to be largely unseen, unheard. The more Sund can stay out of the mainstream, meandering the tributaries of player acquisition and salary cap management, the better. “I want to draw my own conclusions,” he said. When he watches the NBA on TV, he does it with the sound muted. He doesn’t Tweet, doesn’t do Facebook, doesn’t feel the need to play the role of hip, interactive front man. ![]() |
