The Reichenbach Fall
The library finally notified me the other day that disk two of the second season of Sherlock was waiting for me to pick it up, which we did on our way home after work yesterday. Watched it right after dinner. The first episode on the disk was The Reichenbach Fall, the BBC’s adaptation of The… Read.

smith corona no 8
Not sure what to open with today, so I guess I’ll go with some machine porn: Bonus points if you’re under 18 years of age and can correctly identify what this is. No fair asking mom. Read.

gonna coffee all day
Seems like I am just not going to be awake today. Funky weird sleep last night, kept waking up, would lay awake for at least one gong of the clock in the front room, then fall into dreamless sleep only to wake up again. The common factor seemed to be a bubble of gas big… Read.

lair
Can you find Bonkers the Cat in this photo of my basement lair? I bought a new camera a few weeks ago because I lost my old camera. Just lost it. I was taking photos while I was brewing beer or hammering on some wood or something, so between photos I put it somewhere very… Read.

I finally got a typewriter ribbon for the most recently-acquired typewriter in my collection. Did you know you can still get typewriter ribbons from Staples? You can, but only one at a time.

Next time I win the Power Ball lottery (you didn’t know I’d won it before?), I’m going to use my winnings to rent a storefront in town. I’m going to hang a big sign over the door that says “Typewriter Repair Shop” in Courier Bold and set all my typewriters in the window. In the… Read.

ritual
A lone figure stumbles into the dining room, feeling his way through the darkness toward the far corner of the room to the coffee shrine. Hooking a finger through the handle of the electric kettle, he shuffles across the room to the kitchen sink, opens the faucet and stands waiting with a finger hanging in… Read.

epic journey!
I don’t know if you realize this, but a historic journey of heroic proportions was completed yesterday. I’m talking, of course, about the bike ride My Darling B took with me all the way around Lake Monona. This 12-mile trip is probably longer than she’s ever traveled on her bike in one day. I knew… Read.
