I spent most of today cleaning up my Christmas present. It’s one of these bad boys:
Underwood Standard Number 5 that dates from sometime around 1906 (the one I have isn’t as pretty as that one but it is functional due to my ministrations). I wrote two letters on it, too!
My Grandma had one of those. I remember clacking away on it. I just got the new Pearl Jam, and their titles are written using images of keys like these (only red).
I really like what I’ve heard of the new album. I will probably pick it and Them Crooked Vultures up sometime soon.
