Oh, happy day. I hope Mac enjoys his new country and city and MOM to the ultimate pinkerifficus. Also, again happies to Suela, who graces the world for another year.
Me, I am having trouble adjusting to the cold again, which is not even THAT cold compared to what's to come. Still, here I am with cocoa, bathrobe, scarf, furry slippers, and a cat in my lap, and only just feeling warm. And yet, the thermometer reads 68! WTF!!
In other news, I brought home an IBM Selectric on Friday, salvaged from the office. It spent a cold night in my car, but after a day to warm up it seems OK -- except that certain keys stick and it doesn't enjoy the backspace key as much as I do. Still, typewriters for everybody! Typewriters are just cool (and this one had some spare ribbons). Who wants a letter??

I think mine is just something simple and serifed and fixed-width. Possibly even Courier. This is an ooooold machine.
TAR: Despite being
in two of my favorite cities, I was very meh on this finale, although I think the best of the three won.
I'm pretty excited about
an all-stars edition, although I'm very disappointed it may have the beauty queens again. Teams from the TWOP list I'm hoping to see: Lori and Dave (Beloved Nerds - TAR9), Kris & Jon (Relaxed/Dating - TAR6), Danny and Oswald (Cha! Cha! Cha! - TAR2), Kevin and Drew (The Frats - TAR1), and especially Jon Vito and Jill (Team 9/11 Changed Everything - TAR3).
Teams
I have no interest in seeing ever again on my TV: Dustin and Kandace (Beauty Queens - this season), Rob and Amber (TAR7), Tian and Jaree (Unmemorable Models - TAR4) , Charla and "Husband" (TAR5), and especially Colin and Christie (TAR5). I'm sad any of them would get another chance.
Also, and most importantly, yeah msbelle! Glad to hear you are both back safe and sound.
Happy Anniversary, beth and Matt!
I sneer at your bourgoise Selectrics
t reaches over and pats her manual Smith-Corona
I have three manual typewriters around here, although they all need ribbons. The Selectric II was the high point of the electric typewriter, though.
