Happy Anniversary, beth and Matt!
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I have three manual typewriters around here, although they all need ribbons. The Selectric II was the high point of the electric typewriter, though.

Sneer all you like, as Ginger notes...

I agree with her 100%.

I rather liked the Brothers with the little screen that previewed what you were typing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A young adult, sometime in the near future, as she examines a typewriter for the first time:
"You mean every time you pressed a key, it printed the character? How did you cut and paste?"

Sometimes I miss the productive click, you know? I was a kid. I wrote crap. But on a typewriter, it sounded important.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
yeah my Mom bought me a Brother but I hated it. She thought it was cool because it had four different ink colors. It wrote with little pens! I loved the satisfying clack of her Selectric keys.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, this is only vaguely random--can anyone hook me up with pictures of guys rocking formal dress (suit, tux) and stubble or really short beards?
