One thing I would tell Bourdain if I met him is that he is never going to out-drink, or truly keep up with, a man like Zamir. But he always has to try, because he was a bad-ass at CBGB's or whatever-the-fuck(and, yes, I'm Buffista enough to worry about where I put those hyphens...obvious sign I'm not a bad-ass. I've been typing since I was five, but I still look. I don't know if I need to, or if trying not to, throws off my poor damaged brain, but whatever.

I never had elective space to take typing (drama & Spanish, drama & choir, drama & choir & stagecraft) in high school, which turns out to be a good thing, because when I tried to learn as an adult I discovered that the nerve damage in my right shoulder makes it uncomfortable-verging-on-impossible to hold my right hand/wrist in the correct position. I would have been miserable trying it for an entire semester. So I continue to type one-handed, occasionally using the right hand for shifting, entering, and backspacing. When really flying, I can type 30ish wpm, but I'm not even going to try without looking.

I took typing in Junior High. To this day I can type fast, but that means I have to use the backspace key a lot.

I can also type without looking at the keyboard, but that means I have to use the backspace key a lot.

I took typing the last semester of my senior year in HS. The class was right after my lunch period and I think I only showed up the day before and the day of a test. We had those lovely typewriters that didn't have anything on the keys. For the first month or so, we had a character map that we could prop up in front of us, but after that it was all touch.

My fingers know where the letters are, but if I tried to look as I tyhped, I'd mess up horribly. (That was typed without looking at the keys or the screen and only one error, not too bad).

I took typing in eithghth grade, from someone who was also the music instructor for my earlier elementary school. He was not best pleased to be teaching typing. I'm not sure how thrilled he'd be with this eyes-closed typing job, either.

Hmmmm. Not sure what an "eithghth" is, but the rest looks OK.

I discovered that by using Siri I can dictate posts faster than I can type them on my iPhone. Also it's kind of scary how accurate Siri can be. Are you Siri to make this post. Ooh, Siri's first mistake.

I typed this with my eyes closed.

Hey, no errors!

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.

heh

I took rtyping in junior high as well, and I am typing with my eyes closed right now. Probably some mistakes. But I backspace a lot. It's good times. We played fun typing games ands hit. Typung fast is fun except sometimes I just fuck everything up.

I also took typing in HS -- on a typewriter, even! It would sometimes mess me up to go from typing on the typewriter at school, with its heavy keys, to typing on the computer at home, where the keys were much easier to push. Don't know how I'd do if I tried to go back to a typewriter now.

ION, I dreamed last night that I ate a muffaletta, and it was so good. My lunch of leftover pasta with broccoli was rather disappointing in comparison.

OMG, poor Matt Saracen
