"it's a beautiful typewriter."

"it writes nothing but sensitive, intensely felt, promising prose." -- paul, breakfast at tiffany's

i wonder if i'd write stronger prose and letters and develop stronger characters if i typed on an authentic typewriter like this 1960s smith corona sterling 12. i think i would. what a beauty.

headline quote by holly golightly, lead character in breakfast at tiffany's, played by audrey hepburn.

milk and toast -- a favourite and most nurturing combination. I like my milk ice cold with a straw (one of those cute paper straws with red stripes), or steaming hot, flavoured with a little vanilla and a lot of cinnamon. my toast -- usually two slices at once, and oftentimes flanked with apple slices or cheddar cheese -- is buttery and crunchy.

while growing old together with this blog, and watching it evolve, I've found joy in the milk and toast of my life, and have carved out a little place in the world wide web to record it. stick around, read a few entries -- perhaps you'll find something you love or can relate to.
