I've had the opportunity to work with so many talented, gracious and kind people on this project, and for such a great cause; The Trevor Project! This last year has been an absolutely insane one, and in some ways, our current situation mirrors that of the world of The Arcana Game. Chaos, despots, The Literal Plague™... And a group of determined individuals, hell-bent on making the world a better place. May our interesting times lead to a better world for all. 💕
My fellow Arcananites (sounded better than anything else my head could come up with 😅), I hope you enjoy our hard work in this labor of love and remember... Love always wins. Zine releases in PDF format 30 June! I will post the link when it drops! 😁

<br />
I'm giving my typewriter a break today and just writing this post on my phone. I'm really enjoying this product testing thing I'm doing, and will be doing another write up for just bath/body products soon, but today, I want to focus on something a little different. <br />
<br />
I just bought a washer. <br />
<br />
Maybe it'll speak to my station in life that I've only owned a couple of clothes washers, neither of them new, or maybe it's more ubiquitous than I'm imagining. But after tiring of keeping the ancient washer in the basement on life support, and struggling to do laundry through quarantine, I just bought a brand new clothes washer, and I love it! I'm sure you're picturing some space age looking automated thing in candy apple red (if you weren't, you are now!) but that's far from the washer I bought. No, this thing has no buttons, no bells and whistles, and more closely resembles... <br />
<br />
... A cement mixer. <br /><br />
Or maybe a propane tank. <br />
<br />
It's also a fun, retro mint green that fits in with our old appliances, and small enough to fit on the kitchen counter!<br /><br />
So let's get down to brass tacks, shall we?<br />
<br />
I did some research before settling on the WonderWash from The Laundry Alternative. I'm always interested in lowering my carbon footprint and saving space, so on the surface, it was already appealing to me. I'd been looking at fully automatic and half and half apartment washers, but the next step up in price (at over two hundred dollars) was more than I wanted to spend. At $59.99 with free shipping, the WonderWash also appeals to my cheapskate side. <br /><br />
The WonderWash shipped quickly and was packed pretty well. Some assembly was required, but it went together easier than IKEA furniture, in about five minutes. The construction is mostly plastic, which helps keep the weight down, but it's long term durability remains to be seen. <br />
<br />
Yesterday was my first time using it. It is completely manual, but very simple to use. Popped it on the counter, put in a small load and a little soap, filled it (about halfway) from the tap, secured the lid and got to work. It has a handle for manual agitation, and you can just spin it if you want to, but a side to side agitation works well. It also has a detachable drain spout. I did one wash and two rinses, agitating it except when it was actively draining. It's a bit of a forearm workout, but since I had to cut cardiac rehab short (that whole ordeal will be in another post, maybe), I've been looking for ways to incorporate workouts here and there throughout my day. It's also... Weirdly fun! Sounds like a train chugging along and I find it entertaining and amusing. I'm merely estimating, but I think the whole process took 30-45 minutes to complete. Then I dried my clothes as usual which took a little longer, since there's no real spin cycle, so more water was present than I'm used to. <br />
<br />
My initial impressions are overwhelmingly positive. I like the size, ease of use, and Eco friendliness of the RetroWash. I also don't mind the hands on factor; it beats actually hand washing clothes, and gives me a little workout. Plus, it's fun! It's safe on delicates, too, because there is no agitator. It's too small to wash stuff like blankets and sheets, and I'd be hesitant to try to run some of my heavy winter clothes in it. I don't think it's something everyone would want to use all of the time, but would be great for camping or traveling, or for those like me who want to lessen their carbon footprint and get a little workout in. <br /><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Things I did not put in typewritten post: It actually took me some digging to find out what I know about 'the young lawyer', Simon Conner Moesley.

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I apologize for my lack of updates! I've begun working full-time and have decided to go back to college. Nonetheless, they typewriters do keep rolling in, and I have some that I'm very excited to share with you in the future.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">However, I did update another blog that really needed it tonight: <a href="http://fatchickonascooter.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Fat Chick On A Scooter</a>. Twice, in fact. It's my body-image advocacy blog...and yes, there is some gratuitous love for scooters there as well, because scooters are awesome, dammit.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I still have a lot of things to share and I will do so, Typospherians. When I have a rare moment to breathe.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">And no, do NOT use absence as a weapon!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Salut,</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Again I've been dreadful about updating my blog. My sincerest apologies. This time, I have good reason, however; I've been very busy with some really exciting projects, most of them having to do with writing. I still need to post photos from the type-in and Wild West Fest, I know, but I was in a mood to share this morning and this is what I have, although I will say this: not a single chopped typewriter key was seen at WWF, which leads me to believe it isn't really the Steampunks mutilating the machines.</span> <span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I saw some phenomenal artwork while I was there, but none of it bore a single typewriter part. I was overjoyed.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Without further ado, here's something I typed up this morning and some photos that have absolutely nothing to do with typewriters. Enjoy!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Do NOT use two-wheeled vehicles as weapons!</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I apologize for not reporting on the type-in sooner, but the truth of the matter is that no one showed up and there really wasn't much to report, other than hauling machines to and fro on the bikes. I do have some photos and a typecast, which I may post at a later date. But right now, I'm packing.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Wild West Fest at Calico Ghost Town is this weekend, and I've spent time since the type-in getting camping gear and steampunk garb together for it, as well as taking care of my booth at Pomona Antique Mart. Will post on both of those, as well as Steampunk costuming for the broke and untalented (like me!) all coming next week.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">As far as future type-ins go, I remain undaunted. I'll just start advertising a lot earlier and in more places. There are some really lovely places around town to have them (and type-outs), so I will make it happen. Hope to see some of you guys at the next one!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Salut!</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">We will be meeting at <a href="http://www.molinoscoffee.com/" target="_blank">Molinos Coffee</a> at 10:00AM sharp and will be there, typing, talking machines and ect. until 2:00PM (unless there is a group decision to begin the Mall Crawl earlier, which could be moved up as early as noon--your choice guys!). Due to the size of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Mission-Galleria/226021334078154" target="_blank">Mission Galleria</a>, we may have to split into two groups: those who want to crawl just the Galleria and those who want to crawl the other shops in town. The Galleria is a really fun antique store, but it generally doesn't have a whole lot in the way of typewriters (watches and clocks, on the other hand...). That being said, those who want to do some machine hunting, follow the little red scooter, overburdened with typewriters! Our first stop will be <a href="http://www.oldglorygeneralstore.com/" target="_blank">Old Glory General Store</a>, which has a back room that is great for typer hunting. It's located at 4344 Market St. From there we will continue down Market to the <i>best </i>typer hunting grounds in town: Elizabeth Street. 3772 Elizabeth is but one of<i> <b><u>seven</u></b></i> Shops that has things I think most Typospherians would be interested in. It is <a href="http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/StoreFrontDisplay?cid=975003" target="_blank">Renaissance Book Store</a>, and has books on typers, pens and writing instruments, and scores of other things. It is surrounded by five antique stores-all of which I have found and bought machines in-and Goodwill. The antique stores are <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AntiquesForgetMeNot?rf=142503109128795" target="_blank">Forget-Me-Not</a>, Guerrero's Treasures & Collectibles, AnnTiques, Flamenco and another in the alley between Forget-Me-Not and Flamenco that I cannot remember the name of, but I picked up my Hermes 3K from there. Guerrero's and Forget-Me-Not's are stores you don't want to miss; the bulk of my local-found collection has come from these two stores, as well as many other things non-typewriter related.</span><br />

Sorry I'm posting about this so late; L.A. Marler is hosting another type-in! It will be Saturday, March 8th at her studio. I wish I could make it, but my scooter just couldn't do that kind of a drive.<br />
<br />
I will be posting info soon on a type-in I'll be hosting locally, along with a very long and much-overdue update. Hope all is well.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">In continuation with my last post, I have been wracking my brain, trying to figure out how to get the word out about my friend Roxy beyond her <a href="https://www.facebook.com/akidney4roxy" target="_blank">Facebook page.</a> After some thought and discussion, I have decided to start a advertising campaign. Beyond putting banners on my bikes, I am also going to accost Craigslist (and a few other sites) and try to figure out some effective paid advertising as well.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">That requires funds. And, I'm still jobless.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">So...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Remember the machines I had for sale earlier in the year to raise funds to buy Scarlett, my scooter? Well, I still have most of them. And I'm willing to entertain reasonable offers plus S&H...and may even be willing to let go of a few other machines from my collection. Two of these machines are pending homes; I will update and let everyone know for certain if they go.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">So, I had done some pool-side typing today, couldn't focus, came back in and tried another four times on two different machines and still couldn't finish a tlog. Please forgive me using the blah-top instead of posting a tlog. Next time. I have some machines I need to introduce via one, anyway.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">So then, down to business. It was a gorgeous spring day today, and so I spent part of it on the burro, heading to the craft store for stuff to finish a couple projects I have in the works (expect posts on these projects and tutorials; tis the season for all the steampunk cons, and these projects are directly related to that) and because of an event in our neighborhood, traffic was <i>insane. </i></span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">My little pack-critter, only being a 50cc and barely capable of managing 30MPH in the most optimal of conditions had quite a time of it, and I'm certain I angered plenty of drivers in the process. While I'm not mentally or physically ready to get back on my warhorse, the Vulcan, it has become apparent that I need more powerful wheels. Wheels that can at least keep up with traffic on surface streets so I don't end up as roadkill.</span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">My friend Mike who runs the local <a href="http://riversidescooters.net/">scooter boutique</a> (apologies manly-man Mike; I just can't find another term for this place. With the wood floors, cozy atmosphere, constantly-spinning vinyl and autographed photos of celebrities and vintage license plates on the wall, the only way it could manage to ooze any more cool is if typewriters were present and there was an in-house coffee bar) has made me an offer on a new, 150cc Vespa clone that I absolutely cannot refuse (Google 'Puma Valentine' and you'll understand why). So, since I'm still 'freelancing', what's a girl to do?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">It's time for a cull of the typewriter hoarde.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I surprised myself in this, as I actually managed to come up with ten or eleven machines that I could part with. Two of them are even -gasp- Olivers. Which are headed for consignment at an ungodly price in the morning (the consignment rate here is pretty steep; 35% at all the local shops). If I get a reasonable price for them all, that'll go a long way toward my goal. And not all of the funds will go just to the scooter; Mike has a collection barrel in his shop for dog and cat food, which goes to <a href="http://limelightpr.com/jean-clement/riverside-humane-society-pet-adoption-center-to-aid-homebound-pet-owners-with-chuck-waggin%E2%80%99-pet-meals-program.html">Meals-on-Wheels Pet Program</a> to help homebound people feed their pets, and to <a href="http://petsadoption.com/home/">the local animal shelter</a> to feed the shelter pets. I want to try to fill his barrel to help these critters; my pets are all rescues and were there for me when I was homebound, so now that I'm not and my critters are pretty sassy, I'd like to help those who need it. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I have a guest blogger tonight, my lovely hubs, the one and only Doomsday Machine! Enjoy!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Picture it:<br /> Beautiful day. High seventies, mellow breeze, clear skies, and lots of other bikers on the road tossing out smiles and greetings. Little traffic, mindful drivers, fairly smooth roads. A picture perfect ride through town...until...<br /><br /> You know that moment, as you drive/ride down the freeway, where a big truck up ahead kicks up a rock? You watch it rapidly grow larger as distance closes, the brief moment seeming like an eternity as you realize things are about to turn bad. Thwack! Crack! Pap! Oww!<br /><br /> ...Now, imagine that it came at an angle, not from a truck, but from a tree. NOW imagine that it's not a rock at all, but a <strong>PISSED-THE-FRACK-OFF WASP!</strong> No, wait! It gets even better! This <em>Pissed-The-Frack-Off</em> wasp completely misses the front of the motorcycle. It completely misses the full face of your very protective Shoei helm. Instead, it slams right into the middle of your collar bone, right where the collar of your shirt hangs open, and falls </span><strong><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">RIGHT INTO YOUR DAMN CLOTHES!<br /><br /> FORTY FIVE MILES PER HOUR, ON A BLASTED LUNCHBREAK, AND A PISSED-THE-FRACK-OFF WASP IS FLIPPING OUT INSIDE OF MY SHIRT REPEATEDLY STINGING THE EVER-LOVING BAJEEZUS OUT OF ME!</span></strong><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br /><br /> I pulled over really quick, flipped my killswitch, and frantically ripped my own shirt apart on the side of a busy road at 1:30 Saturday afternoon. I'm sure every passerby had an interesting story to tell, once they arrived at their destination. I know I did. Let it be known that my darling, beloved Madame Mohawk (Anna), laughed at my misfortune...and does so even now as I type.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> <em>F my life. </em></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Random Ophelia update: At almost nine months old, she's getting huge. She is the sweetest cat I've ever met in my life, as well as the most hyper. She's been very therapeutic for me and I don't know what I'd do without her, even though she likes to be a gremlin and get into things I'm working on--or typers I'm working on--because I'm paying attention to something besides her!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Teeritz, here's a photo of the back of my watch. I think one of the problems with it keeping time is that I haven't been all that active since I got it. That's been changing rapidly though, and it seems the more I wear it while active, the better it runs.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I have to add a special thank-you to Mike and Mike of <a href="http://riversidescooters.net/index.html">Riverside Scooters</a> for getting my scoot running the way it should, not only after sitting for fourteen months, but really for the first time <i>ever</i>. It hasn't ran so well in the entire time I've owned it; it's like a brand new machine! Be expecting a Yelp review, guys! And to my typing friends in this area who may be interested in getting a scooter, go see Mike. He has a really wonderful selection, great prices, a kick-butt warranty and is just an all-round nice guy. He'll treat you right!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Salutations Typospherians,</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">That's right, a kitten has decided to take over my keyboard. Her name is Ophelia and she just arrived here. While she's not the only reason for my recent silence, she is one of them. Especially when she does what she's doing in the photo above. Expect to see her from time to time!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Also have a couple announcements to make: I had to turn captcha back on,because I was simply getting too much spam to deal with. My sincere apologies. I hate it as much as you do, but I see no other solution at this point. Also, I will most likely not be blogging for the entire month of November, due to NaNo. I want to throw all of my time and attention into the completion of the challenge. I will see you December 3rd! (I'll be here until 10/30, however). And I do have new machines I need to photograph and tell you all about, so that will be forthcoming. </span><br />
