I learned what a persimmon is yesterday. They look like tomatoes, and taste like nothing if they are not ripe.
My Spotify Discover Weekly playlist is amazing this week, too. There hasn't been a single song that I've skipped or not decided to listen to again. I am very impressed.
I also had a friend send me a bunch of indie electronica that I also loved. Good stuff. Also.
I read an article last night about the difficulties in learning to model the motion of a pendulum. At midnight... I am a big nerd.
Hmmm second Etsy sale in progress! The woman wanted six pieces, but I told her since I'm leaving for Standing Rock soon and I didn't know if the longer poems would fit on the size of paper she wanted, I'm doing three of them for her for now.
I also discovered this morning (I had my suspicions) that every ten characters on the typewriter is equivalent to an inch. Whoever made these things put so much effort into the design, these are seriously the coolest little machines ever.
Christopher Latham Sholes, Frank Haven Hall, Carlos Glidden and Samuel W. Soule.
They invented the typewriter.
