UK book covers better?Yes.




Uk book covers are definitely better than American covers. Here is proof. The top one is the UK version, bottom is American.

Olivetti Valentine looks Amazing!







I just saw a picture of the Olivetti Valentine and it looks awesome!It's red and comes with it's own red case, a case that has a handle at the top and latches on the sides. It's a portable typewriter and right now it has to be my favorite. I don't think there's another typewriter invented yet that could rival the Olivetti Valentine. I checked how much it costs on mytypewriter.com and it sells for $795. I'm really lucky it's not sold out yet. I recently went on ebay and some guy is elling it for $50. And based on the photo, it's in good condition.

Bret Easton Ellis







Bret Easton Ellis is the mind behind such great works like 'American Psycho' and 'The Informers' (Not the crappy movie, the short story collection). I've personally never read a single sentence he's written, but i've been looking at some pictures of him. Based on his pictures he has to be the coolest author i know. (Heading to Barnes andf Noble soon so i can buy 'Less than Zero' a novel by him). Look and be amazed by his subtle coolness.









Waterproof books, well, I can dream


Imagine if there were waterproof books. You could purposely throw them into a pool, some water and nothing would happen to them. A waterproof book would solve so many problems. A long time ago, i was walking next to a small pool, a book gripped in my hand. Then i slipped, and the book flew out of my grasp,landed into the water and sank down to its resting place. Why hasn't anybody tried making something like this, a prototype or whatever. If they did make a waterproof book there's no doubt in my mind that people would buy it. I'd be the first one in line.

Strange tea wonders


Drinking a glass of tea every night has become a sort of ritual, something that has to get done. I wonder if an excess of tea is dangerous. Even if it is, i doubt i'll stop drinking it. There's so many flavors to choose from i feel outsmarted. By tea. Last night i had cranberry tea and today i still haven't made my decision. Should i go peach or strawberry. There's a tea war going on somewhere and so far i'm losing the battle.

I wish i had a cool Typewriter
















Two years ago i got an electronic typewriter as a present. I HATE electronic typewriters. I want a cool, old typewriter. An antique. When i write i want to listen to the sound of the typewriter keys clacking. You can only get that on a non-electronic typewriter. I'm trying to find a place where i can buy one, and if i can't i'll just order one from the internet. Anyway, above are some pictures of typewriters i would LOVE to have.

So it begins......

This is my first post, on my first blog. I feel like suddenly saying something witty, something that'll leave a lasting impression and make you read on but it doesn't really matter to me if anyone reads this. I'm creating this blog just for the sole purpose of entertainment. You might be wondering what this blog is even about and the answer is: everything i like. I'll be blogging about what i'm doing, what i like, things that amaze me, and i'll add in some reviews. Books, movies. Maybe television shows. Mostly just books and movies. I might not visit this blog or post something in a long period of time, and sometimes i'll be on it all day. Well you're nearing the end of the introduction, i'm nearing the end of this introduction, and this is a stepping stone. More of a pebble. A pebble in a long line of others.
