keys to communication

so i went out and finally caught up with the information age... i bought myself a typewriter. man is this thing sweet. i have been whipping off letters to friends, writing 'to do' lists, and all sorts of things with this little baby. it's almost identical to the one above, but there's one button different on mine. the colors and trim are exactly the same though.

i like typing. with a computer, you actually have to tell it to print something, well the typewriter is smart enough that it just goes and does it while you are working. pretty smart little guy, but then again, he's much older and therefore wiser than my iBook.

a couple of days ago, i thought it would be funny to update my blog from my newest old thing. so i sat down and did my best. needless to say it's much more awesome in person, but i thought it was so funny, i ought to share it here for you guys.

if you want to read it, just email me and i will send you a full-res copy of it. it's pretty funny.

i have been thinking about the ways that people correspond with one another. before blogs, there were chain letters that groups of friends would send around to one another. each person would add to it, personal news and interesting tidbits, as it passed from one person to the next. maybe that's sort of what we are doing here. people that are far apart, and busy enough to make talking on the phone or in person all the time inconvenient, finding a way to communicate. so i'm still posting here as usual, but don't be surprised to find an old school blog entry showing up in a hand typed envelope, falling through that drafty mail-slot in your front door.
