Choco, it sucked enough indeed. So much in fact that I went to a shoe store yesterday, quite sure that with feet full of blisters I would never find a fitting pair. I was wrong and found two. x) Cost me a lot though, so the rest of the year's clothes shopping is de facto cancelled. >.<

Morocco at New Year? It sounds exotic, even if the US would be higher on my travel list as well. ._. Mine will probably be in a "duck park" in Tampere, where I've spent the last seconds of the three last years. This time though, Fedora-Tan'll have returned to France on the previous day already, so it'll be a bit different. <.<

merry early holidays everyone ^^ (our present is the update)

and pitkin, my mum wanted to take my boots and a few pairs of her shoes to a cobbler in town but we never got around to it so i fixed them myself, but sadly once pleather wears out there's little hope of fixing it, so the patch only held about 2 months or so. :\

My neighbour and I took a trip to the local dump (affectionately called the "Insert-town-name-here Mall"), long story short, I'm now the owner of an IBM Wheelwriter 3 (WHICH WORKED A FEW MINUTES AGO I SWEAR >sob<), a Smith Corona of 1960s vintage (also, working so far as I can tell), an Apple eMac (GUH IT WORKS!), a stack of like-new books and few other computers an IBM tower that won't switch on, and this old Power Macintosh that doesn't start either...

Oooh, I am so dead. It's been real, everybody, nice knowing you. D:

NOOOO BELLS I WILL SAVE YOU!

You're a computomaniac, aren't you?

[NejinOniwa]

QUICK
SHE NEEDS A CHIP IMPLANT, AND NOW

A Wheelwriter eh?  I almost got one of those, except the tech services guy told me that if I did try to take it (despite being in the trash) it would be theft from the college.  It's in his office now.

NOOOOOO BELLLLLLLLLLS!  We'll have to operate.  Let me fetch my instruments.

hmm, did someone order a little home surgery.....?

[stewartsage]

Home? Oh my no; tent in the backyard surgery.

[Chocofreak13]

backyard is a part of the home, technically.

GYAH GUIZE MY SMITH CORONA WORKS!!!! I typed on it a bit this evening... omg... it was so much fun! My first time using a typewriter!

My first typewriter writings presented verbatim:

Code Select Expand

qwerty   this is an awesome old piecenof junk!!!!!!!    ,,,,,,,,,

qqqqqqqit writes yay !!!!

1/4 1/4 1/4 1/2 1/2 1/2 1/2

         s this typewriter is kinda loud. And my dog likes bark
ing at it. At least one of them, Lucy. Pekkaboo doesn't really
care.


I swear this is how I'm going to start my memoirs when I write them someday... lol.

(Is it wrong that I find my junkyard typewriters > than my junkyard computers? Or am I just intrigued by the novelty of the situation?)

[NejinOniwa]

The latter seems likely. -w-;

[Bella]

OMG OMG OMG MY WHEELWRITER WORKS TOO!!!!

I finally have an IBM product that works. :,)

[Chocofreak13]

happy day, bells. happy day.

and typewriters tend to be rarer, albiet not much depending on the age of either computer or typewriter.

You can still buy typewriters and typewriter accessories at Staples, just so you know.
