this week

 What I Saw:

California Typewriter - A completely charming documentary about a typewriter repair shop in California.... I know, right? How is a typewriter repair shop still even open? It also includes interviews with fans of the typewriter (Tom Hanks and John Mayer, to name two) and a serious typewriter collector. The highlight for me was John Mayer's interview on how he came to start using a typewriter and his thoughts on the process of writing lyrics on one. It was all very interesting and light of heart, kind of a nice palate cleanser these days. Watched it on Crave.

Parks and Rec - This is a re-watch. Personally, my third time around. My daughter and I have a standing date for an episode or two of something before bed to end the day with a laugh. Parks and Rec is a much quoted family favourite around here. It's still as delightful and funny as I found it the first time. Watching this on Amazon Prime Video.

What I Heard:

Ira Glass on the ArmChair Expert podcast. Highlight for me was Dax's theory on the types of movies that do and don't get made these days and why that may be. 

What I Read:

The Rule of Many by Ashley and Leslie Saunders. This is a young adult dystopian fiction series that my daughter enjoys. This is the second book in the trilogy. As any true reading fan knows, if you read a great book, you want to share it with people who also love good books. So she read the first one, begged me to read it as well and now here we are. Basically it's a story set in the future, twins are outlawed, but one family is hiding a set of them until their secret is discovered, setting the twins on the run and igniting a rebellion. I am about half way through and enjoying it.

Love this post and this format! I'm going to seek out the typewriter documentary, it sounds right up my alley. Would love to hear more recommendations like this!

There are two basic types of bomb alarms available. One of them is a push button
bomb, which is activated by pushing a button on the box itself. This type of box may
come in just one color (usually a bright one), or it may come in several colors,
depending on whether you're going for a modern or classical look. The other style
is an audible one, where you have to insert a sensor into the bathroom while the
box is there. These have a wide range of designs, and they're not very common in
most bathrooms.

Because the foundation boxes is a non-porous, waterproof product, it is important that the packaging used to ship this product is as resistant as possible to water. There are a number of different means through which the foundation can be applied to different product shapes. Some of the most popular ways that foundation is applied are with sponge, brush, mixtures, pumps, and spatulas. Although foundation tends to look best when applied with the fingers, some companies have begun to package their makeup in pumps that dispense foundation evenly from the pump nozzle. Because of its resistance to water, sponge has become one of the more popular methods of applying foundation.

The story of the "Cartel Killer Clown" is like something out of a horror movie. It's chilling to think about the real-life implications of internet memes and how they can impact people's lives in such profound ways.
