Lists, Lists

Whenever I find myself in the unpleasant position of having to make a big decision, the kind that determines major steps in my life, I make lists. I discovered this technique when I was 16 and at the first real crossroads in my life: determining which way to go in high school; the literary stream [...]

Waiting for Godot

It’s been almost a month since I last wrote here. I’ve been mainly microblogging on Twitter, but I found that Twitter lacks depth. Don’t get me wrong, it’s fun, but it’s also superficial. It’s like a cheap hooker when you want a passionate, loyal companion. The title of the post says it all. Waiting has [...]

Sketchy

Draft from March 29th: I walked into the bookshop last night to prove a point. A couple of points actually. A-current fuel prices are making me the queen of mobility. B-I’m committed to buying the book I’m required to buy for class. What do you mean it’s “censored?” You have The Lion of Jordan and you [...]

Surplus to requirement


Such a strange feeling. It’s giving me a new perspective on things. It’s also confirming a few of the things i know about myself.
I have a deep seated fear of the “conditional”. I find that almost all things conditional are as far removed from the truth as you can get. They tend to be determined by other factors. I always prefer to get to the truth however painful. It often is.  read more »

صلاح جاهين على اسم مصر


 

النخل في العالي والنيل ماشي طوالي

 

معكوسة فيه الصـور .. مقلوبة وانا مالي

يا ولاد أنا ف حالي زي النقش في العواميد

زي الهلال اللي فوق مدنة بنوها عبيد

وزي باقي العبيد باجري على عيالي

باجري وخطوي وئيد من تقل أحمالي

محنيه قامتي .. وهامتي كأن فيها حديد

وعينيا رمل العريش فيها وملح رشيد

لكني بافتحها زي اللي اتولدت من جديد

على اسم مصر  read more »

Egyptian film posters


These amazing examples of vintage and colourful posters truly reflected the state of Egyptian cinema in the “good old days”. Not only did Egyptian cinema represent a thriving and creative industry, where talent and creativity naturally flourished, but it also showed an amazing attention to detail. Today’s films are bland at best and awful, uninspiring, lacking on the talent front and quite frankly criminal, if we’re being completely honest. The posters speak for themselves. This was an era when only talent and creativity made it. When vision was appreciated and implemented for all the world to see and cinema goers to enjoy.
