Whaaaat? Because I used a typewriter, or because I found it barbaric? Actually I was kind of digging it off and on, but those feelings kept getting interrupted when I would put on the caps lock and forget that it locks EVERYTHING, even the number keys! So I had to correct F)# (for F03, for Fall '03) on about 20 of the 25 labels I typed. :)
actually, i'm jealous of the tickity-tick action you got. only typewriters, real, honesttogoodness typewriters, have tickity-tick that good.
at my last place of gainful employment i would ask for things to do on the typewriter -- anything to sit there, hear that hum, and feel that *uNf* as the doohicky hit the page, leaving a smeary, beautiful letter.
Yeah he used a typewriter alright. He used it to weigh down the bag of kittens and puppies he stole from local children and threw in the river. Never trust an editor. ;]
I had to find a way to kill those animals so I could make clothes out of them. Whaddya want me to do, use lethal injections? What kind of maniac do you think I am?
And besides, those children had it coming. I had to get them back for cutting through my yard.
