MILKTOAST: typewriter love.

typewriter love.

every now and again my mind takes off down a path of cemented certainty that my writing would be stronger and my imagination ever more creative if i had a beautiful [vintage] typewriter to tell my tales. and so i hop on etsy.com and browse to my little heart's desire.

then i remember how much i love my backspace key and the fun and ease of starting a brand new document after 3 lines without wasting a sheet of paper. typerwriters are fun to think about--and i love the voss (no surprise seeing that it's the most expensive one)--but i'll stick with my macbook.

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.
