I found a thing in an antique store and I am delighted!!
LOOK AT THIS FRIKKIN' ITTY-BITTY TYPEWRITER! /o\ All the parts move, you guys! The carriage slides side to side and the keys go up and down (as one big unit, mind) and the roller bar rolls! Best fiver I've spent in a long time. *g*
In unrelated news, it occurred to me that I have never actually read The Catcher in the Rye, as it wasn't on our curriculum in high school. Dude. I imagine having to 'study' it wrecked it for a whole lot of people but, damn, I quite enjoyed that and wish I that I'd read it when I was closer to the narrator's age. For some reason I think I had it confused with Grapes of Wrath in my brain. *shrug* But anyway, that's one less shameful gaping hole in my mental library, eh?
