Say hello to my little friend!
So a while back I put the APB out amongst my family and friends that I was in search of a typewriter. A functioning typewriter. Something I could use to enhance my scrap-tastic urges to make things.
Then, out of the blue, I get a myspace message from the uuber fabulous Natasha... she has the goods and she's willing to part with them. I told her that we could totally share custody... when she is in need of the trusty typewriter, just give me the word and I'll send it on it's merry way (joke's on her... I never told her what "the word" would be, so its mine all mine!).
*sigh* I'm in love. Bobio gave it a good cleaning with his air compressor and a lil' grease, and I made a trip to Staples for some fresh ribbon. We're totally rockin' and rollin' with my new friend. It needs a name, but what??
Needless to say I shall be the bane of my family's existence with the incessant click-clacking of the typewriter as I try to be all cool with my letters and such. TRY. TO. BE. COOL. It's all good. The sound mixes well with cartoon network and Seinfeld re-runs.
I think I'll have to stock up on ribbon for my little friend before it completely goes out of style, a la polaroid film... the guy at Staples can totally keep looking at me like I'm a whack job all he wants... I'm text-y and I love it :)
